PT91.S1.G3 - could be an accurate list, in order, of the first three components attached

yazminse

does anyone have the set for pt 91 section 1 logic game 3? I think I am missing some sort of inference or my rules are messed up because I'm having some trouble with this game.
thanks

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:
1. X4 given
2. hh-X. Can infer hhm-X (hhm order determined by following rules)
3. T before all other h. Because 123 are hhm (order to be determined), can infer T is possibly Tm1, Th1 or Th2
4. 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
5. Z-Y and S-Y. Can infer Y5 or Y6
6. _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
