For direction-based problems, mentally map the circle to a compass or assign degrees to positions. Break down the information statement by statement and add it to your diagram. If information is relative (e.g., A is next to B), consider the possible arrangements that fit and eliminate those that conflict with other statements. Practicing different types of seating arrangement problems, including linear and circular ones, is key to improving your ability to solve them efficiently.
