57:44 - answer choices

Hello Everyone! Approximately around 57:44, the instructor states that the answer to question #10 is (A) (one). I am confused about this because I thought we had also established that N is in the 6th spot. In this case, wouldn't the answer also be (B) (two)? I am not sure if it's because the consecutive POK rule was only applicable for the 9th question and so N can only be placed second last if POK was consecutive. Thank you!

Hi Sakashi,

I think indeed that we only know for sure that N is 6th if the additional condition from question 9 is added. The rules only tell us that N cannot be last, and we deduced that it cannot be first or second, as it must be after P and L. The additional condition added in 9 only applies to 9.
