A sits third from the west end of Row A. C sits immediately to the left of A. B sits immediately to the right of D. P sits opposite C. Q sits second to the left of P. R sits immediately to the left of Q. Who sits opposite the person who sits immediately to the right of the person opposite D?

- CC
- DD
Explanation
A is third from the west. A faces south, so C on A's left is to the east, which makes C fourth. B is to the right (west) of D, so the order is B, D, A, C. P is opposite C, so P is fourth in Row B. Q is second to the left (west) of P, so Q is second, and R is first. S is third. The person opposite D is Q. The person to Q's right (east) is S. S is opposite A. Taking right as west would give B instead.
