In a circle facing the centre, if B is to the immediate right of A, then from A's own point of view B is
- A. on A's right hand side
- B. on A's left hand side
- C. directly opposite A
- D. impossible to place
Explanation
When people face the centre, right and left are described from each person's own perspective, so immediate right means B is on A's right hand. The trap appears when the puzzle says facing outwards, which reverses every direction. Always note which way the group faces before placing anyone.
