HAT MCQs

For people facing the center, right is counterclockwise.
Three counterclockwise steps equal five clockwise steps in an eight-seat circle.

A lies somewhere before position 4 and G somewhere after position 4.
Therefore, A must be left of G.

For outward-facing people, left corresponds to clockwise movement.
Second to the left therefore means two clockwise seats.

M occupies position 3.
The seat immediately to M's right is position 4.

B must be immediately left of A and C immediately right of A.
The consecutive block is therefore B-A-C.

The middle position in a row of seven is position four.
It is fourth from both ends.

P at the far left occupies position 1, so Q must occupy position 2.
R remains in position 3.

D must be left of A, A left of B, and B left of C.
This gives D-A-B-C.

Moving three places right from position 2 reaches position 5.
Thus, F is fifth from the left.

The consecutive order is P-Q-R.
If P is second, Q is third and R is fourth.

The condition explicitly places A immediately beside C.
No other person can occupy that adjacent position.

H is sixth from the left in a seven-seat row.
Positions 3, 4, and 5 lie between G and H.
