Why is it A when Pasquale IS before Theodore?

I don't understand why on the video Jordan says that Pasquale is NOT before Theodore when P is clearly before T? The rules say that Pasquale needs to precede Theodore. It does not say P needs to precede T for each message T leaves; only that P must precede T. Can you elaborate on this please?

    Clarification to my question above: rules say that "all of P's preceding all of T's," but it does not state that T has to leave as many messages as P. Can you elaborate on this please?

    Hi, the correct answer for this one should be D. A breaks the rule that when F is in, all P must preceed any T because A has them listed as F P T H P L and our second P is after a T. Your interpretation of the rule seems correct. When F is in, then we know all of our Ps have to before the first T, but it doesn't matter how many of each variable we have. For example we could have P-T P-P-T P-T-T.... but we COULDN'T have P-T-P because then not all the P's are before the first T. Hope this helps!
