Hi, thanks for the heads up about the volume! Let's start by seeing what we know when V and Z are together. If we make a VZ block then we know that Y cannot be with the block, which also means that neither V Z nor Y are allowed to go in pricing. This means that the only two that can go in pricing are S, T, and R. This also means that either VZ or Y will go in L or M.

This means that our ST block can't go in markets, since markets must have either VZ or Y, and if we put the ST block then we won't have enough room.
