How to play
- Seat the people around the round table using the clues.
- Cross off seatings the clues rule out until only one arrangement fits.
- Write each person in their seat.
Tips for solving it
None of these give anything away — they are just how people who do these all the time get unstuck.
- Fix one person in one chair to start. At a round table only the order matters, so that costs you nothing.
- "Next to" means either side until something else tells you which - mark both and wait.
- "Opposite" is the strongest clue at a round table; it pins two chairs in one move.
- Count round in both directions when a clue says "two to the left" - it is easy to go the wrong way.
- Sketch the circle and pencil names in the margin outside it until a clue forces them into a chair.
