  M-K-L, or L-K-M?

  Does anyone know what I am referring to? If so, could you link to the lesson or a game that highlights the above?

  I don't specifically recall, but I don't know if I agree with your diagramming of "K is before M or after L, but not both". I think you are omitting a few results?

  If K is before M, it would have to be before L. So
  KML or KLM

  If K is after L, it would be after M. So
  MLK or LMK

  Basically to solve it, I think you would just need to split the game into two different boards.

  One where you specify:
  K-M and K-L

  The other would be:
  L-K and M-K

  I can't recall a specific game either, but I would write this rule

  K is before M or after L, but not both.

  as follows:

  K ----- M or L ----- K but not both

  K ----- M
  　＼L

  or

  L ----- K
  M／

  Yep I agree. That's how I diagrammed it as well. As long as you ( @nyc2dc2ca ) make it clear to yourself that each diagram is an entirely separate outcome, this diagram should serve you perfectly for solving this style of game.

  @Mellow_Z Thanks for that clarification. I think that is exactly the mistake I made that I took note of and am now trying to figure out. Thanks for pointing that out!!
