AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the seating arrangement of five individuals—Archi (A), Teri (T), Mikel (M), Neitan (N), and John (J)—on five chairs, with equal distances between them. Key points include the estrangement of T from J and M, and the positioning of A and N relative to T. The main confusion arises from interpreting the implications of these relationships. It is concluded that T could potentially occupy different positions, leading to various interpretations of proximity between the individuals. Ultimately, the conclusion drawn is that A sits close to N, validating argument 1 based on the seating arrangement possibilities.

five chairs are arranged in such a way that
the distance between each two chairs is equal.
archi(A),teri(T),mikel(M),neitan(N) and john(J)
got sitted on this chair.
data:
A#. T is estranged from J and M equally.
B#. N and A are on the same side from T.

which of the following arguments are necessarily true ?
1.A sits close to N
2.M sits close to N
3.A and M sits close to N
4.J and A sits close to Nwhen i tried to solve it i encountered a problem with this data
from argument A# i get that T is in the center
and that J and M are on the same distance from the center

which lives me only one free space on each side
but in argument B# we have two other people from one side.
which crosses with argument A#

where is my mistake?

From A, is it possible T is in seat #2, with J & M in #1 & #3?

I.e.: J,T,M,-,- or M,T,J,-,-

And similarly, T could be in seat #4?
 
aaahh thanks
then its argument 1
