Help Explaining This Answer

Why can S not go last? In the video explanation, it states “we know S cannot go last”. But how do we know that for sure? There is no condition that P has to come after S, so couldn’t S/P share either position in 6th or 7th?

Hi @Ashmoreben,

I think the last rule might be the reason why S cant be last. Our final rule tells us that "S is not 7th" and since there are only 7 positions, S cannot be last.
