B, D, E, P, S, T and W are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table. Only two people sit between E and B when counted from the right of E. Only two people sit between B and S. Only three people sit between E and W. D sits to the immediate left of T. How many people sit between E and P when counted from the left of P?
Four
Seven people sit around a circle facing the centre, so each person's left is the clockwise direction and the right is anticlockwise.
1. Take E's seat as the reference. Only two people sit between E and B counted from E's right, so moving anticlockwise from E there are two seats and then B.
2. Only three people sit between E and W; the arc with three seats runs anticlockwise from E, which places W just beyond B on that side - counting the other way round, W is the third seat clockwise from E.
3. Only two people sit between B and S. The clockwise arc from B leads to E's seat, so S sits two seats away on the other side, immediately clockwise of E.
4. D sits to the immediate left of T, that is immediately clockwise of T; the only empty adjacent pair that allows this is the one on the far side, so T and then D take those seats and P takes the last free seat.
The final clockwise arrangement is:
| Seat (clockwise) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Person | E | S | P | W | B | T | D |
Counting from the left of P means moving clockwise from P: W, B, T and D come before E, so four people sit between them.
Hence, the answer is Four.
