Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=5718)
The correct answer choice is (A)
If S and R are shown together on the same screen, it must be on screen 1 or 2, which both have two showings. However, from the third rule it cannot be screen 2, and thus we can infer that S and R are shown together on screen 1. The remaining three variables are H, M, and W, which must then be shown on screens 2 and 3:
From the fourth rule H and M cannot be shown on the same screen, and thus we can infer that one of H and M is shown on screen 3, and the remainder is shown on screen 2 with W:
With the groups established, the linear information can now be applied.
On screen 1, S and R have no restrictions, and can rotate freely. On screen 2, W cannot be shown at 9 P.M. due to the first rule, and thus W must be shown at 7 P.M., with H or M shown at 9 P.M. On screen 3, either H or M could be shown at 8 P.M.:
Accordingly, answer choice (A) must be true and is therefore correct.
