Either session: Michelle (female, Android developer, Yahoo)since Michelle is from Yahoo so she can come in other sessions and also she can come in the Afternoon session in order to have the criteria of at least 4 women fulfilled and also majority will not be web developers

Neither Sessions:Maria (female, web developer, Facebook)

Maria cannot be in afternoon session since already two people are from Facebook in afternoon session
And she cannot come in the morning session since it would cause web developer as a majority in both afternoon and morning session

Why is it not Kylie ? She cant go to the afternoon session, as there will be a majority of female developers(4) and majority of web developer. She can't go to the morning because that will lead to 3 people from Amazon.
I think both the options ( the OA) and Kylie are correct. Please let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.
