Confused why B is wrong

Hello @Bianca, This game gives us two basic setups based on the second rule. C G U or U G C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 U U U G G C C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 C C G G U U U We are also told: K - S M - P We can now place the mug and the plate in order. _ _ _ _ _ M P 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 U U U G G C C M P _ _ _ _ _ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 C C G G U U U Finally, on to the question. We are given that Ron washed the spoon immediately before the fork. Because the knife has to come before the spoon, we know know the order of our utensils: KSF. Therefore, it is impossible for the knife to be 3rd. It must be either 1st or 5th.
