💡 Analysis & Explanation
Anchoring Position ▼
Situate P at position 1. Since Q is 3rd right of P, Q occupies position 4.
U & V Constraints ▼
Q is immediately right of U, making U sit at position 3. U is 3rd left of V, which places V squarely at position 6 (moving backwards: 6 → 5 → 4 → 3).
Isolating S ▼
S avoids U, so it cannot be at slot 2. The remaining valid slots are 5 and 7.
R & T Relationship ▼
There is one person between R and T from T's left. If T takes slot 2, the leftward jump reaches slot 1 (P), then slot 7 for R. This places S firmly at 5.
Final Count Protocol ▼
The circle order clockwise is P(1), T(2), U(3), Q(4), S(5), V(6), R(7). Counting rightward from S(5) reaches V(6), R(7), P(1) before hitting T(2). This totals exactly 3 individuals.
Conclusion ▼
Three people sit between S and T from S's right.
