From what I understood of this question, "Contractor B must be scheduled to work exactly two days after Contractor A is."
B should have been Thursday since B should be scheduled AFTER 2 days of A.
Anyone else think the wording was a bit vague in this one?

Three Constraints :
1) Contractor A must be scheduled to work on Monday.
2) Contractor B must be scheduled to work exactly two days after Contractor A is.
3) Contractor E must be scheduled to work exactly three days after Contractor C is.
Schedule will be:
Monday : Contractor A
Tuesday : Contractor C (3 days before Contractor E )
Wednesday : Contractor B (2 days after Contractor A)
Thursday : Contractor D (remaining one)
Friday : Contractor E (3 days after Contractor C )
So,
Martine must schedule Contractor B to work on___Wednesday___and Contractor D to work on___Thursday___.
1) Contractor A must be scheduled to work on Monday.
2) Contractor B must be scheduled to work exactly two days after Contractor A is.
3) Contractor E must be scheduled to work exactly three days after Contractor C is.
Schedule will be:
Monday : Contractor A
Tuesday : Contractor C (3 days before Contractor E )
Wednesday : Contractor B (2 days after Contractor A)
Thursday : Contractor D (remaining one)
Friday : Contractor E (3 days after Contractor C )
So,
