Hmm, it seems like something is off in your approach to this game, as the questions should fall pretty easily. It may be that either you're forgetting about the (PV) or (PS) rule, or that you don't yet have a firm grasp on the tree diagram.
Let's take #14 for example:
We know that L isn't on Saturday, so it must be P. That leaves us with V - R - H - P and L - S also connecting to that final P. We should keep in mind the '(PV) or (PS)' rule. Since P and V are far apart, we must have PS. So, this means we have V - R - H - SP and L is floating somewhere before the S.
We're looking for something that can't be true.
(A) sure - why not? Either L or V is first.
(B) that works if L is on Wednesday or Thursday.
(C) that works if L is on Thursday.
(D) that works if L is on Tuesday.
(E) no way!
Post in other threads if you want help with those questions, though I think if you take a look, you'll be able to crack them all on your own.
