For this question, how did she know to use diagram one for this question and not check both diagrams?(2 votes)
Really either scenario would bring you to the same conclusion. Within scenario 2, L could still be paired with either G or H in segment 1. And though both L and F could go in segment 3, because there's only one slot, F can't be interviewed along with L.
So even if we just use scenario 2, the answer of 2 (G and H) remains the same.(1 vote)
Incorrect diagram for scenario 1.(1 vote)

- [Instructor] Before
you watch this video, make sure that you've already watched the overview video for the set up. That's where we notated the
rules and make the deductions and diagrams that you're
gonna see me using here. So the question asks us,
how many of the politicians are there any one of
whom could be interviewed in the same segment as Lewis? This question is asking us
for how many people make up all the politicians who could be paired with Lewis at any given time. Since we already placed
Munson and Kim into one pair, the Lewis pair here would
have to be the other pair. That would be in segment
one in both scenarios. Outside of Munson and Kim
who can't be with Lewis because they are their own pair, the politicians left over are
Fallon, Greer and Hernandez. So let's see how many of those three could be in segment one. Well, it's definitely not Fallon, right? Because we deduced already in the set up that Fallon can never be first. So let's look at our scenarios to figure out the other politicians. In scenario one, we can
deduce that Hernandez or Greer could be paired with Lewis. So we have our answer. Those are the only two people left. Only Hernandez and Greer could be paired with Lewis in segment one. C is our answer.
