Exam Schedule Logic Puzzle

We need to determine the exam schedule for seven people (F, G, H, L, M, N, O) from Monday to Sunday based on the given conditions.

Step 1: Place G and deduce M's position

G has an exam on Friday.

  • Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, G, Sat, Sun

Only two people have exams between M and G. Since G is on Friday, M cannot be on Monday (which would place 3 people between M and G). Therefore, M must be on Tuesday.

  • Mon, M, Wed, Thu, G, Sat, Sun

Step 2: Place F

Only four people have exams between F and M. M is on Tuesday.

  • If F were before M, it would require 4 days prior, which isn't possible starting from Monday.
  • So, F must be after M. With 4 people between M (Tuesday) and F, F must be on Sunday (Days between: Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat).
  • Schedule: Mon, M, Wed, Thu, G, Sat, F

Step 3: Place O and N

N has an exam immediately after O (O, N block).

Possible slots for (O, N) are (Mon, Tue), (Tue, Wed), (Wed, Thu), (Thu, Fri), (Fri, Sat), (Sat, Sun).

From the current schedule (M on Tue, G on Fri, F on Sun), the following slots are blocked:

  • (Mon, Tue) - M is on Tue.
  • (Tue, Wed) - M is on Tue.
  • (Thu, Fri) - G is on Fri.
  • (Fri, Sat) - G is on Fri.
  • (Sat, Sun) - F is on Sun.

The only remaining slot for (O, N) is (Wednesday, Thursday).

  • Schedule: Mon, M, O, N, G, Sat, F

Step 4: Place L and H

The remaining people are L and H. The remaining days are Monday and Saturday.

L doesn’t have an exam on Monday.

  • Therefore, L must have an exam on Saturday.
  • This leaves H with the exam on Monday.

Final Schedule:

Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
H M O N G L F

Step 5: Calculate People Between L and H

L has an exam on Saturday (Day 6).

H has an exam on Monday (Day 1).

The days between Monday and Saturday are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

The people scheduled on these days are M, O, N, and G.

There are 4 people with exams between L and H.
