During a single week, from Monday through Friday, tours will be conducted of a company's three divisions -- Operations, Production, Sales. Exactly five tours will be conducted that week, one each day. The schedule of tours for the week must conform to the following restrictions:Each division is toured at least once.The Operations division is not toured on Monday.The Production division is not toured on Wednesday.The Sales division is toured on two consecutive days, and on no other days. If the Operations division is toured on Thursday, then the Production division is toured on Friday.If in addition to the Sales division one other division is toured on two consecutive days, then it could be true of the week's tour schedule both that the
Answer(s): B
So besides "SS," we have another consecutive pair, yes? Well, your job is to figure out which one! And it must mean that either the sequence will contain "SS,""PP," and "O," or "SS,""OO," and "P." Having figured that out, we are well armed to try out the choices.

If the Operations division is toured on Thursday, then the Production division is toured on Friday.If in the week's tour schedule the division that is toured on Tuesday is also toured on Friday, then for which one of the following days must a tour of the Production division be scheduled?
Answer(s): A
We're told, in the abstract, that the same division is toured on Tuesday and Friday. Well, don't be satisfied with that. Make it concrete. Which division is it? Can't be S, since the consecutive "SS" is all we're allowed. Can't be P either, because " PS S P" would leave O for Monday, a violation of Rule 2. No, the division the question is talking about must be O, and the insertion of "SS" yields "_ O S S O." Production's day is therefore Monday.

Answer(s): E
After several questions about days that include the same entity, we have one about days with different entities.That's a little tougher but still manageable. Monday and Tuesday are different. Well, Monday is never an O day, so Monday will be either P or S. Yet our two S's are consecutive, so the latter option is out.

This question returns us to the familiar topic of identical days. So Tuesday and Wednesday are the same, eh? Well, which division(s) are we talking about? Surely not Production, which never takes a Wednesday slot.
A crew of up to five workers is to install a partition in at most three days. The crew completes five tasks in this order: framing, wallboarding, taping, sanding, priming. The crew is selected from the following list, which specifies exactly the tasks each person can do:George: tapingHelena: sanding, primingInga: framing, primingKelly: framing, sandingLeanda: wallboarding, tapingMaricita: sandingOlaf: wallboarding, primingThe following conditions must apply:At least one task is done each day.Taping and priming are done on different days.Each crew member does at least one task during the installation, but no more than one task a day. Each task is done by exactly one worker, completed the day it is started and before the next task begins.Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the members of the crew?
Our list of the tasks in order, plus the eligible workers, is the key here. Start with fundamentals. Someone's got to do framing, right? And the only possible framers are Inga and Kelly, right? So at rock bottom, any "complete and accurate" crew list must include either Inga or Kelly to do the framing. Which means that E. can be rejected. If E. is the crew, framing doesn't happen.Next, wallboarding. Any crew must include either Leanda or Olaf to do that task. No one will wallboard if option [George, Helena, Inga, Kelly] is the crew, which makes that option impossible. And task #3, taping, needs George or Leanda, which means we need to throw out both options [Helena, Inga, Kelly, Olaf] and [Helena, Inga, Maricita, Olaf], each of which mentions neither of those workers.We're left with one choice, [George, Helena, Kelly, Leanda], which must work. And maybe we can use B. to check our overall understanding of the game, what do you say? Given option [George, Helena, Kelly, Leanda]'s crew, we can see that at least one member is present for each of the tasks, and there are several possibilities, as for instance this two-day job: Day 1, Kelly framing, Leanda wallboarding, and George taping; day 2, Kelly sanding and Helena priming.
