Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a circular table, all facing the centre. B sits opposite E. A sits immediately to the right of B. D sits second to the left of A. F sits immediately to the left of E. Who sits second to the right of C?
B sits second to the right of C. Placing the people clockwise gives A, B, D, C, E, F. Since right is anticlockwise for people facing the centre, moving two seats anticlockwise from C leads to B.

Explanation
Number the seats 1 to 6 clockwise. Put A at 1. Facing the centre, the right of B is anticlockwise, so B is at 2. E is opposite B, so E is at 5. D is second to the left (clockwise) of A, so D is at 3. F is immediately left of E, so F is at 6, leaving C at 4. Second to the right of C (anticlockwise from seat 4) is seat 2, which is B. F is C's second to the left, not right.
