How many people are seated between A and C (counting clockwise from A)?
Answer: A
Correct answer: Two
Four face outward and four face the centre, so “left” and “right” must be read from each person’s own seat: facing the centre, the left is clockwise; facing outward, the left is anticlockwise.
E faces outward, so H two seats to E’s right and B three to E’s left are placed at once - and B can only be three seats to H’s right if H too faces outward. D faces the centre with both neighbours facing outward, which rules out every seat but one, and F must then sit beside D. Of the seats left, C and G must be neighbours, which forces A into the seat beside E, with G two to A’s left and C beyond.
Clockwise the circle reads E → A → H → G → C → B → F → D, with E, H and F facing outward and A and D facing the centre.
Going clockwise from A we pass H and G before reaching C, so two people sit between them that way round.
