"If males are assigned to Veblen South, then Wisteria North is assigned males."

Can I take the contrapositive of this as such: "If Wisteria North is not assigned males, then Veblen South is not assigned males." And then translate that, since the only two options are (1) male and (2) female, to: "If Wisteria North is female, then Veblen South is female." ?

I watched the solution video and this wasn't explicitly explained in these terms, so I wanted to make sure this is correct. I guess the way JY set up the video kind of implied this, but in any case. Thanks in advance!

    I did just that. I found it helpful to visually represent the fact that 4 of the 5 female pieces were assigned in the case of the contrapositive (though, that's also true of the original conditional).
