If E cannot be in position 2 or 6 (adjacent to ends), then E can be in 1,3,4,5,7. Our last arrangement has E=1 → allowed. Then F(2)-G(3) have zero spaces? No – they are adjacent. Rule 4 says exactly one between → so F and G must be like F _ G or G _ F. Positions 2 and 3 are adjacent → violation. Then F(2)-G(3) have zero spaces

All rules satisfied. Use this to check your work, but more importantly, study the deduction steps above so you can replicate them under exam conditions. Game 2 of Games 42 Fr is a masterclass in relative ordering and block constraints. By methodically applying each rule, testing edge cases, and avoiding the common misreading of positional limits, you can solve it in under 3 minutes. Practice with similar games, and you’ll find that the same logical patterns reappear throughout the series.
