Hey Vanessa,

Do you want an explanation of this question? If so, we can provide it. However, if you're asking a question about how to do a whole type of question, then this wouldn't be the place. You'd be better off posting on the curriculum side of things, with some kind of general header. You could then cite this question as an example of the kind of thing you'd like to talk about. That said, your question remains a little too general to be answerable anyway, so I don't think we'd have anything satisfying for you. Must be true questions in games differ depending on the game type, so your answer would be found spread out in EACH chapter of the games book, if that makes sense.

Yeah, this is not an easy one to do quickly using trial and error. Here is how I would do it:

Use the Orientation answer (A): T V W M L N to knock out (D).

Then just move on.

When you get to Question 19, you're going to have to do some more testing. When I test (A), I get two frames:

W V T N L M
T V W M L N

These now knock out (A) and (B) on 18. We are down to (C) and (E).

I get to Question 21 and it STARTS OUT, "If M is first..." which means (C) doesn't have to be true. So it's (E).

In short, don't feel pressured to do the questions in order, especially on tricky unconditional ones like this one.
