Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=13387)

The correct answer choice is (A)

If Hannah spends eight days in country X, she must visit either three or four cities in country X. For example, if she visits four cities in X, she would spend two days at each, in a 2-2-2-2 distribution. If she visits three cities, she would spend three days at two of the cities, and two days at the other city, in a 3-3-2 distribution, or she could spend 4 days at one city, and two days at the other two cities, for a 4-2-2 distribution. However, there is no way for her to visit two cities in X because she cannot spend eight days in just two cities and still meet the conditions of the game for visiting the other cities in the days remaining. Therefore, answer choice (A) is the correct answer, because it cannot be true that she visits two cities in country X.

Hello!
I'm not understanding why Hannah can't visit exactly 2 cities in country X. Why can't she spend 4 days in each of the two cities, totaling 8 days, and leaving her with 6 days to visit cities in countries Y & Z combined?
