Nine persons – L, T, K, S, M, P, R, V and W – are sitting around a circular table, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing the centre and the rest are facing away from the centre.
T sits third to the right of P and second to the left of M. V sits four places away from K, who is two places away from L. S sits to the immediate right of W as well as P. T and W are facing the same direction. P and K are facing the same direction. (I. e., if T is facing the centre, W is also facing the centre and vice-versa, if P is facing away from the centre, K is also facing away from the centre and vice-versa). R and S are three places away from V, who is facing away from the centre. S is not facing the centre. M sits to the immediate right of L, who is facing the centre. Exactly three consecutive persons are facing the same direction. (I. e., either facing the centre or away from the centre).
