In a circular arrangement of six people facing the centre, moving three places clockwise from any person brings you to
- A. the person immediately on their right
- B. the person sitting opposite them
- C. the same person
- D. the person two places to their left
Explanation
Half of six is three, so a move of three places lands directly across the circle. Moving six places would return to the starting person, since that is a full revolution. Working in fractions of the circle is quicker than counting seat by seat.
