Official Explanation

The correct answers are Pipers and Drums on either day and James the Small on neither day.

To work for either day, the entertainment must involve multiple people and be a musical act. Only Pipers and Drums is a musical act with multiple group members.

To work for neither day, the act must be a solo act that does not include music. Only James the Small is a solo act with no musical element.

i could not understand where its mentioned that a duo cant be there for neither day and why cant solo performances be there for either day? could you please explain that.

It is written in the question statement. "Neither day should have more than two performers who are demonstrating the same talent. Departmental members have agreed on a schedule of eight performers each day."

Thank you

­On D1
- At least 70% must be musicians => maximum 3 non-music performances
- There are already 3 non music performances (No. 2, 3 and 8)
==> The remaining 2 must be music

On D2
- At most 3 perfomers performing individually
- There are already 3 individual performers (No. 2, 5, and 8)
==> The remaining must be a group of at least 2


Either: must be [music] + [group]
==> Pipers and Drums (bagpipes and drums duo)

Neither: must be [non-music] + [individual]
==> James the Small (child juggler)
