Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=23743)
The correct answer choice is (E)
This question is identical to question #1, with the exception that W has been dropped from the ordering (but, of course, the rules involving W are still active). Thus, you should approach this question in the same fashion as any List question.
Answer choice (A): This answer specifies that Patterson meets with Y before S, but, as we know from the combination of the first and second rule, Patterson cannot meet with Y before S, and thus this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (B): This answer specifies that Patterson meets with T before Y, but, as we know from the combination of the second and third rule, Patterson cannot meet with T before Y, and thus this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (C): This answer violates the fourth rule because the meeting with U is not ahead of the meeting with R.
Answer choice (D): Like answer choice (B), this answer specifies that Patterson meets with T before Y, but since Patterson cannot meet with T before Y, this answer choice is incorrect.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice.
