Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=8333)
The correct answer choice is (B)
If P is first, then Possibility #1 of the third rule is in play, but because P is first, we do not need to worry about the implications of the rule (because they are automatically met by P being first, and thus older than H and N). Thus, only the first and second rules play a role in determining which artifacts could be second.
The first rule eliminates H and J from being second. The second rule eliminates T from being second. Thus, four artifacts cannot be second (P, H, J, T), leaving two that can be second (F, N). Thus, answer choice (B) is correct.
