Q20

Hi @Marshall98, Happy to help! X cannot be in the second spoonful with U as you've set up above because of Rule 4 which tells us that U is in the same spoonful as either Y or Z but not both. The question stem tells us that Z is in the first spoonful and Rule 1 tells us that U must be later than T. This means that Y must be in the same spoon as U which cannot be the first spoonful. If we put T in the first spoonful with Z, U must be in either spoons 2 or 3. Option 1 - U in spoon 2 Rule 4 tells us that Y must be in the same spoon as U and Rule 3 tells us that Y must be later than W. Therefore, W must be in the first spoonful and X must be in the third. 1: T Z W 2: U Y 3: X Option 2 - U in spoon 3 Rule 4 tells us that Y must be in the same spoon as U. Rule 2 means that U cannot be later than X so X must also be in spoon 3, meaning that W must be in spoon 2 as all three spoons must have at least one letter. 1: T Z 2: W 3: U Y X If we put T in the second spoonful, then Rules 1 and 4 mean that U and Y must be in spoon 3. Again, Rule 2 tells us that U cannot be later than X, so X must be in spoon 3. The W can go in either spoons 1 or 2. 1: Z 2: T 3: U Y X Notice in the above that X must always be in the third spoonful, making answer choice (E) our correct answer. Hope this helps!
