Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=14958)
The correct answer choice is (E)
The best way to approach this question is by the process of elimination: any statement that could be true should be ruled out.
Answer choice (A) is incorrect, because F could be second (as long as K is first).
Answer choice (B) is incorrect, because G could be third. Note that if G is third, the game has only one possible solution: F L G K J H.
Answer choice (C) is incorrect, because H could be fourth (with L—fifth and G—sixth).
Answer choice (D) is incorrect, because K could be fourth. Note that if K is fourth, the game has only one possible solution: F L G K J H.
Answer choice (E): This is the correct answer choice. Given that K must be released earlier than both J and H, it is clear that K cannot be the fifth out of six released films.
