SUMMARY

Ricky's dinner party featured a round table seating arrangement where guests inadvertently occupied incorrect seats, resulting in a challenge to determine if at least two guests could be seated correctly. The discussion emphasizes the need for solutions to this seating puzzle, with a promise that all solutions will be shared on June 5. Participants are encouraged to post solutions to previous challenges before further contributions are made to this thread.

For her dinner, Ricky invited many persons to be seated around a round table. She prepared a lovely table plan but all of her guests arrived and took a seat so that everyone was sitting in front of somebody else’s place. Is it possible to turn the tableso at least two guests are sitting in the right place?

- All solutions will be posted June 5.

I think you should go ahead and post the solutions to the previous challenges before posting more. Once you do that, then this thread will be re-opened. :D
