Hi everyone,
Thank you for letting us know. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing technical issues.
You can direct support-related issues to our support staff by tapping "support" from the left menu or by calling 855.483.7862 ext. 2 Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. PT.
In the meantime, I'm happy to explain this game.
We know that two pianists will perform solos at a recital: W and Z.
There will be five solos, each performed immediately after the other.
Each solo will be either M or T.
Therefore, our set-up looks like this:
Pianist: _ _ _ _ _ Style: _ _ _ _ _ 1 2 3 4 5
Now let's go through our conditions.
Rule 1 - the third solo is T
Rule 2 - exactly two of the T pieces are performed consecutively
This means that either solo 2 or 4 must be T.
This then limits the style of the other pieces. If solo 2 is T, then solo 1 must be M otherwise there would be three T pieces performed consecutively. If solo 4 is T, then solo 5 must be M otherwise there would be three T pieces performed consecutively.
Rule 3 - in the fourth solo, either W performs a T piece or Z performs a M piece
If W performs a T piece, then the second and fifth solo must be M.
If Z performs a M piece, then the first solo must also be M and the second solo must be T.
Rule 4 - the pianist who performs the second solo does not perform the fifth solo
Rule 5 - no T piece is performed until W performs at least one M piece
This means that the first solo cannot be T.
Pianist: _ _ _ _ _ Style: _ _ _ _ _ 1 2 3 4 5
The question asks which of the solos could be T pieces.
We can immediately eliminate answer choice (A) because we know from Rule 5 that T cannot be performed first.
We can also eliminate answer choice (B) because this would mean that there would be three T pieces performed consecutively, violating Rule 2.
We can eliminate answer choice (E) because we know from Rule 1 that the third solo is a T piece.
Finally, we can eliminate answer choice (D) because this violates Rule 2. The two T pieces must be performed consecutively.
Therefore, answer choice (C) seems like it should be the correct answer but let's double check.
Pianist: W Z Z W W Style: M M T T M 1 2 3 4 5
Notice that this meets all of our conditions:
1) The third solo is a T piece. 2) Exactly two of the T pieces are performed consecutively (pieces three and four). 3) In the fourth solo, W performs a T piece. 4) Z performs the second solo and W performs the fifth solo. 5) W performs one M piece before a T piece is performed.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
