Eight persons — A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H — sit around a circular table. A, B, F, G and H face the centre, while C, D and E face outside. E is an immediate neighbour of both A and B. F is an immediate neighbour of both B and C. G is an immediate neighbour of both C and D. H is an immediate neighbour of both D and A. A sits opposite C and B sits opposite D. E sits immediately to the left of A. Counting from the right of E, how many persons sit between E and C?

Question

Accepted Answer

Two. The clockwise order is A, E, B, F, C, G, D, H. E faces outside, so its right is the clockwise direction. Going clockwise from E we pass B and F before reaching C, so two persons sit between E and C.
