Which one of the following clerks could stock two consecutive aisles?

Rule #7

I am confused about rule number 7 because I believe if the rule reads, "Olga's aisle is numbered higher than either of Kurt's aisles, and lower than at least of the Larisa's", the setup should be L>O>K. Please advise.

Hi @NS1,

Thanks for the question! So we’re told that O’s aisle is numbered higher than either of Kurt’s aisles, and lower than at least one of Larisa’s. That implies that L has two aisles, right. So as long as one of L’s is higher than O, that satisfies that rule. So something like

L > O > K > L

would satisfy the rule, since at least one of L’s aisles is higher than O. And so that’s why we can’t just say L > O > K.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
