Seating Arrangement Puzzle

A problem where we need to find the seating arrangement of people around a circular table based on given clues.

A statement that gives information about the relative positions of people in the seating arrangement.

The position of a person immediately to the right of another person in the seating arrangement.

The person sitting next to another person in the seating arrangement.

A situation where the given information is insufficient to determine the answer.

The five friends are sitting in a circle, facing outwards.

S is sitting to the immediate right of R, meaning R is to the immediate left of S.

P is sitting exactly between Q and T, meaning Q and T are on either side of P.

Q is sitting immediately left of R, meaning R is to the immediate right of Q.

Since P is between Q and T, and Q is to the left of R, the person to the immediate right of P must be T.

In a circular arrangement, 'second to the right' means moving two positions clockwise from a starting point.

The statement 'B sits second to the right of D' means if we start at D and move two positions clockwise, we reach B.

The statement 'A sits second to the right of B' means if we start at B and move two positions clockwise, we reach A.

The statement 'C is not an immediate neighbor of A' means C cannot sit directly to the left or right of A in the circular arrangement.

The question asks who sits immediately to the right of D. This means we need to find the person who occupies the position directly clockwise from D in the circular arrangement.

A specific arrangement of individuals sitting around a table, where the order matters but the exact starting point is arbitrary.

The positions of individuals around a circular table are described relative to one another, often using terms like 'left' and 'right'.

A constraint in seating arrangements where no more than two people can sit between any two given individuals.

The process of figuring out the exact positions of all individuals in a circular seating arrangement based on given clues and constraints.

A common technique in solving seating arrangement problems where you pick a starting point and then deduce the positions of others based on clues and constraints.
