seats. Betty and Jim don't want to sit next to Alice and
Tom. Alice and Tom don't want to sit next to Gertrude and
Bill. On the otherhand, Sally and Bob don't want to sit next
to Betty and Jim.

From the given data, it can be inferred that:
(Sally & Bob) NOT (Betty & Jim) NOT (Alice & Tom) NOT
(Gertrude & Bill)
(A) NOT (B) means A and B can not seat next to each other.
Now, it is obvious that (Betty & Jim) and (Alice & Tom) will
occupy the corner seats as both of them can have only one
neighbour. Therefore,
(Gertrude & Bill) will seat next to (Betty & Jim)
(Sally & Bob) will seat next to (Gertrude & Bill)
(Alice & Tom) will seat next to (Sally & Bob)
Thus, there are two possible arrangements - a mirror images
of each other.
1. (Betty & Jim) - (Gertrude & Bill) - (Sally & Bob) -
(Alice & Tom)
2. (Alice & Tom) - (Sally & Bob) - (Gertrude & Bill) -
(Betty & Jim)

In the middle of the confounded desert, there is the lost city of "Ash". To reach it, I will have to travel overland by foot from the coast. On a trek like this, each person can only carry enough rations for five days and the farthest we can travel in one day is 30 miles. Also, the city is 120 miles from the starting point. What I am trying to figure out is the fewest number of persons, including myself, that I will need in our Group so that I can reach the city, stay overnight, and then return to the coast without running out of supplies. How many persons (including myself) will I need to accomplish this mission?
Eleven boys and girls wait to take their seats in the same row in a movie theater. There are exactly 11 seats in the row. They decided that after the first person sits down, the next person has to sit next to the first. The third sits next to one of the first two and so on until all eleven are seated. In other words, no person can take a seat that separates him/her from at least one other person. How many different ways can this be accomplished? Note that the first person can choose any of the 11 seats.
