Re: 2220 Out of exactly four network program

"Out of exactly four programs, exactly one is shown between sports and political, and home improvement is shown third."

If we were treating this like a Logic Game, we would think
FOUR PROGRAMS: S, P, H, and ?

FOUR SPOTS: __ __ __ __


H is in spot 3.

__ __ H __

So we still have S, P, and the fourth program, whose type we don't know. The rule said that there is exactly one thing between S and P, so S and P could either be in spots 1 and 3, or in spots 2 and 4. Since we already have H in spot 3, S and P will have to go 2nd and 4th.

__ S/P H P/S

That means the mystery program is 1st.

It could either be
? P H S
or
? S H P

The correct answer was "Sports is not first".

The incorrect answer was "Sports is first".

Hope this helps.
