Two Basic Scenarios ?

So I will preface this by saying I got all of these questions correct, however when I set this game up I basically diagrammed two scenarios; 1 where M is assumed to be in spot 3 and one where it was in spot 5. This allowed for some additional deductions and I was able to mostly breeze through the questions as a result. In the video explanation however, it looked like there was a master setup diagram but nothing else really from that. Is there anything 'wrong' with the strategy I used? Or does that just come down to personal preference and timing?

Hi @ElliottF,

For a question like this one, it definitely comes down to personal preference and timing. When I did this problem, I also diagrammed the two scenarios that you mentioned, which allowed me to work through the questions quickly, so there is nothing wrong with your approach at all. Good job! Let me know if you have any further questions.
