8 people have to be seated at a round banquet table.
The seats are number 1-8. For this teaser, 5 is
opposite 1, 6 is opposite 2 and so on. Likewise, “next
to” means one of the neighboring seats only. i.e., 8 is
next to 1 and 7.
- A and H are the only French speaking people on the
table. They need to be seated together. - B and F should sit opposite each other.
- C, F, and G all know Russian, but don’t necessarily
need to sit next to each other. In fact, G wants to sit
next to someone who knows French. - D is English and insists on sitting next to at least one
other English speaking person, and pat opposite H. - E is the only other English speaker in the group, but
he wants to sit next to someone who knows Russian. - G agrees to sit next to F only on condition that the
other side must have a French speaker. C does not sit
next to either of them. - C however, agrees to sit next to B, who is the only
Bavarian in the group. - A will not sit next to a Russian or an English
speaker.
