Hi Intezam,

For this question, we have a new rule, in addition to our original setup.

Our initial setup is

Wa: _ _ _ (Not P or Q)
Fm: _ _ _ (Not S)
Fa: _ _ _ (Not T)

and we are told that S and T are not together. I don't think I would set up scenarios here, so I would look at the answer choices and see which of them to prioritize. Since we know nothing about M, I would start by looking at B, C, and D.

For B, P being Fm tells us that T must be before it so we have T on Wa. We know that S and T cannot be together, so S must be on friday afternoon, so we have.

Wa: T _ _ (Not P or Q)
Fm: P _ _ (Not S)
Fa: S _ (Not T)

We also know the max we can put on friday afternoon is one, since there are only two things that could go Wa now, T and M, so we know Q is Fm, and thus M must be Wa. Since this is a valid scenario, B could be true.

Wa: T M _ (Not P or Q)
Fm: P Q _ (Not S)
Fa: S _ (Not T)
