Why can't Olga stock aisle 5?

I am able to an order that places the following from aisle 1 to 9: jill, kurt, larisa, jill, olga, manny, kurt, manny, larisa Doesn't this order satisfy the rules provided? Yet, Olga can stock aisle 5 ? Am I misunderstanding any of the conditions that would make this order false? Thanks in advance!

Apologies, It seems I misunderstood the last condition. No response needed :)

Good catch! For future reference, the issue is that O must be to the right of both of K, not just one.
