Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. From the given conditions, we start by placing B at the 4th position from one end.

2. The person who likes Hamilton is 4th to the left of B, so count 4 places left from B.

3. The number of persons between B and Hamilton is one more than between E and Hamilton.

4. Two persons sit between E and F; F does not like Hamilton and is not to the right of B.

5. The person who likes Tokyo is 3rd to the left of F.

6. B and F face opposite directions.

7. K sits adjacent to both H and F; neighbors of K face opposite direction to K.

8. The number of persons between K and Tokyo is a multiple of 3.

9. The number of persons between H and J is thrice the number of persons to the right of H.

10. J sits to the left of F.

11. Only one person sits between H and I.

12. Three persons sit between D and J; only one person sits to the right of D.

13. The person who likes Boston sits 4th to the left of D.

14. One person sits between J and the person who likes Houston, who faces north.

15. G sits 2nd to the left of J; both face the same direction.

16. The person who likes Madrid sits 3rd to the left of E.

17. The person who likes Toronto sits 2nd to the left of I.

After carefully arranging all persons and their directions according to these clues, it is found that the number of persons sitting to the right of I is exactly two less than the number of persons sitting to the right of the person who likes Houston.

**Answer:** Right of the person who likes Houston
