Can someone explain the set up for this game?

There is no video for the set up of any of these games and I wasn't sure if I was maybe doing an In/Out game so would love a general set up and explanation of deductions!

Hi Rachel, I would probably say this is a hybrid game, we have five in order, and there are two who are not in the order at all.

I would consider a setup like this

_ _ _ _ _ (_ _) With the parentheticals being the ones not selected.

From the rules, we know that L is in, and is 2 or 3, and that if G, g is 1. We also know who must be last, so

_ _ _ _ N/T (_ _)

We then have a few conditional rules:
If I and R -> RI
If O and R -> RO
If N and T -> NT

Putting the first two conditionals together, we see that they cannot both happen at the same time, so we know that we cannot have all three of I, O, and R selected.

Our final conditional tells us that if N and T, then
_ _ _ N T (_ _)
