Complete Question Explanation
(The complete setup for this game can be found here: lsat/viewtopic.php?t=11817)
The correct answer choice is (D)
The question stem establishes that the third lecture is S. From the fourth rule, it must then be given at H, with O being given either fourth or fifth. That leaves the two Hs as third and fourth, and every other lecture must be given at G:
The fifth rule (T P) is still in force, and you can immediately infer that T cannot be fourth, as that would force P to be fifth, but then leave no room for O. Because T cannot be fourth, answer choice (E) can be eliminated.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice is incorrect because, due to the fourth rule, O must be fourth or fifth.
Answer choice (B): This answer choice is incorrect because, as established in the discussion of this question, the fifth lecture must be given at G.
Answer choice (C): This answer choice is incorrect because as established in the discussion of this question, the second lecture must be given at G.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice.
Answer choice (E): As mentioned above, T cannot be fourth as that would leave no room for O. Thus, this answer choice cannot occur and can be eliminated.
