Question # 3 - Feingold Before Juarez

Is it advisable to draw out four hypotheticals for this question? That's what I did to come to the right answer. Or is there a better way? A) L H K F M J B) L K H F M J C) L K F H M J E) L K F M J H Thus "D" is the correct answer choice.

Hi JosephRocco,

That is definitely a valid way to get to D, although there is another way that might be a bit more efficient.

We know that L, K, and F must be before our MJ block. So, the MJ block must start at either 4 or 5.

_ _ _ M J _
_ _ _ _ M J

In either case, M or J is in the 5th spot, so it is impossible for H (or anything else for that matter) to go in 5.
