I'm not sure where to even begin on this question. I'm not sure how N being the same as another makes any of these definite.

    You can access the full video explanation for this entire game by clicking on the "play button" on the top right-hand corner of the screen. Here's a summary of what we go over in the video: so first we need to determine which partner N can make the same amount of money as. We know that N makes less than K and L, however the rest are up for grabs. This means that the earliest N can come in is right before F (making the same amount as I), and the latest that N can show up is last (making the same as H). All of the answer choices can be true except for answer choice (D). Regardless of where N goes, L is always going to make more money than H. We know from rule #2 that L makes more money than N (L>N). If N makes the same amount as I, F, M, G or H, L will always make more money than N. We know from our deductions that either H or N has the lowest salary, but in this scenario, if N makes the lowest salary, N will be sharing this lowest spot with H (since our condition from this question is that N has the same salary as another partner). Thus, no matter what, L will always make more money than H, meaning answer choice (D) must be false. Hope that was helpful! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
