If Waltzy is in the middle RS is either to the left or right of Waltzy
So in that case UT will be together which cannot happen so Waltz cannot be in the middle

A dance show will include exactly five pieces: Requiem, Smooth Step, Trampoline, Unleashed, and Waltzy. Requiem will be presented immediately before Smooth Step. Unleashed will be presented earlier than Trampoline, with at least one piece in between.

Waltzy will not be the final piece presented.
In the table, select a piece that cannot be the second piece presented and a piece that cannot be the third piece presented. Make only two selections, one in each column.

_____________Cannot be presented second | Cannot be presented third
Requiem
Smooth Step
Trampoline
Unleashed
Waltzy

Hi, can anyone explain how to find "Cannot be presented third", please.

OA
Cannot be presented second - Trampoline
Cannot be presented third - Waltzy





Why we cann't have Unleashed as answer to 'cannot be presented second'?
the 2 possible arrangements are:
1. U-W-T-R-SS
2. R-SS-U-W-T
