Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step:

- Eight people (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W) are sitting at a square table—corners face in, middles face out.

- U is sitting second to the left of W. That means if W’s at a corner facing in, count two seats left (clockwise).

- S is sitting second to the right of P. (Think: clockwise movement for “to the right.”)

- T (not facing in, so T is on a middle seat) is third to the right of R, who’s next to both V and U. So R is at a corner between V and U.

- U is next to Q.

- Two persons between U and P—that’s a straightforward gap.

When you try laying this all out on paper (or with coins!), you’ll see the only way to organize everyone and keep all clues true is like this:

Let’s assign possible positions clockwise around the square:

1. U (corner)

2. Q (middle, next to U)

3. P (corner, two after U)

4. S (middle, second to right of P)

5. W (corner, second to right of S)

6. V (middle, next to R)

7. R (corner, between V and U)

8. T (middle, third to right of R, not at a corner)

Final arrangement:

- V is at the middle of one side. Count three seats right (keeping track of corners and middles!):

V ? R (corner) ? U (corner) ? Q (middle, facing outward)

So who is third to the right of V?

It’s Q.
