Poor Instruction, Very Disappointed.

I'm sorry but how could you rationalize NOT taking the extra 15 seconds to show why E is the correct answer???? We didn't pay a lot of money for our instructors to zip through their explanations. When you eliminate A B C and D you can't just say: "oh guess that means E MUST be right, let's move on!" and not even bother to explain to the thousands of students who most likely need help understanding exactly why E is correct. This happens too often...

I'm sorry you're frustrated. I understand. We can use rule #5 to have F be first, then we place H second and M third to make our chain look like so: FHMLIGK. As you can see, M can be third with the limitations given to us in question 7.

Hope that helps!
