The KOL rule and "either"

Hello. I endured a brutal struggle in this game because I had trouble figuring out if "either of" referred to both of the K's, or at least one of them. When I started going over the game, I finally figured out that "either of" was referring to both of the K's and not just at least one of them. How is it that "either of" can refer to both K's in this context? In the previous lessons, I was taught that "either/or" meant at least one of the two. Even when "either of" is taken outside of the context of this game, it appears to me that would mean the same as "either/or." Can someone explain to me all of the scenarios in which "either of" would mean differently than "either/or" on the LSAT?

I am also confused because i had the same problem... how do you know if "either" is referring to at least one or both?

I also would appreciate clarity on why "either of" allows for O to come after K. I understand that it requires one K at least to come after it, but how does it allow for one K to come before?

I think it is especially confusing because the same rule specifies that "at least one" for L but uses the term "either of" for K.
