Data Insights (DI) Butler 2023-24 [Question #35, Date: Oct-12-2023] [Click here for Details]
A fantasy convention is trying to plan entertainment for a two-day festival, in which it will highlight a number of artistry types. Ten performers will be featured each day on two stages. On the first day, the focus is on music, so at least 70% of the first day's performers must be musicians. On the second day, preference is being given to artistic troupes, so no more than three performers can perform individually. 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. That schedule, listing the names along with each performer's talent, is shown in the table:

Why James the small (Child Juggler) can't be added in the Day I?

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.
