Question

Eight persons - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H - are seated around a square table. Four persons face inside and sit at the middle of each side, while the other four face outside and sit at the corners of the table.
Given the following conditions: - G sits second to the left of C. - There are three persons sitting between D and B. - H sits opposite A but does not sit at the middle of the table. - D sits second to the left of A. - F sits second to the right of C. - E sits immediately to the right of B.

Question: Who sits second to the left of H?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Since four persons sit in the middle of each side facing inside and four sit at the corners facing outside, we arrange the seating accordingly.

2. H sits opposite A but not in the middle, so both must be at corners opposite each other.

3. D sits second to the left of A, so starting from A and moving counterclockwise, D is placed accordingly.

4. G sits second to the left of C, and F sits second to the right of C, helping to fix C’s position and those of G and F.

5. E sits immediately to the right of B.

6. There are three persons between D and B, which helps to finalize B’s position.

7. After placing all persons according to the above conditions, the person sitting second to the left of H is found to be B.

**Answer:** B
