Rules two and 3
why can't Italian or Greek go on day sixth since there are no days after it? The rule "unless x is shown on the following day." Well what if there's no following day? Why can't Italian or Greek be shown on the sixth day?

Hi, we need to look at the way the rule is written here. We are told we can't have I unless there is N the next day. This means that the only way we are allowed I is if it's followed by N. If nothing follows the I, then it is not followed by N, so we can't have I last.
One way I like to translate unless statements is to replace the word unless with "if not." By reading the rule as "No I if not N the next day" I think it becomes clearer that it means If not IN then no I.
