    Hi,

    I found this difficult and unusual at first but there is a series of key inferences in the first 3 spots between the first 4 rules that will determine the setup and unlock the game.

    STVWXYZ

    1234567 h/m

    Rules and inferences:

    X4 given

    hh-X. Can infer hhm-X (hhm order determined by following rules)

    T before all other h. Because 123 are hhm (order to be determined), can infer T is possibly Tm1, Th1 or Th2

    W-T. Can infer W-T, W cannot be h (would violate rule 3), T cannot be 1T therefore order must be Wm1 Th2 _h3 X_4

    Z-Y and S-Y. Can infer Y5 or Y6

    _h6 given

    From this, your setup would be:

    W T _ X _ _ _

    m h h _ _ h _

    Remaining variables are:

    Z-Y, S-Y

    V is free

    Q11 acceptable?

    1W 2T has determined in setup. WTS violates no other rules.

    Q12 must be m?

    1Wm position is fixed, must be true.

    Q13 V7, could be m except?

    if V7, ZS before Y, Y must be 6h.

    Q14 could be 6h?

    recall fixed positions and free pieces. WTX fixed, SVYZ remain, any could be possible.

    Q15 must be h?

    infer fixed position T from setup

    Q16 if Sm, MBT?

    if Sm, must be S5 to conform. remain VYZ

    W T _ X S _ _

    m h h _ m h _

    V could be 3/6/7 h/m

    Y could be 6/7 h/m

    Z could be 5/7 h only
