Month-Date Scheduling | Worksheet 1 - Absolute-Beginner Level

Question 1

Eight people attend seminars in four different months (January, March, May, July) on two dates (5th and 15th). Two people attend per month. The constraints are: - U attends in March - V attends on the 15th - Exactly two people attend between S and T - Q attends in the same month as R In which month does S attend?

Step-by-step solution:

Timeline Grid Method:
1. Create month-date grid:
Jan 5 | Jan 15 | Mar 5 | Mar 15 | May 5 | May 15 | Jul 5 | Jul 15

2. Apply constraints:
