If grace is inspected on Monday Morning and Zeno is inspected on Wednesday morning, which one of the following must be true?

Answer Key says it is: D L before S but I feel like I can violate that and not violate the rules.

Morning: GSV
Afternoon: JLZ

I have no hotels on wednesday, grace before jacaranda, Grace and Seville are not on the same day, and Z and L are both in the morning.

Help, I'm sure I'm just being REALLLYYY thick and missing something.

You're violating the local condition. The question says Z is inspected on Wed MORNING, you have it in the afternoon.

Edit (full solution)

G Monday Morning, Z Wed Morning forces L Tuesday morning because if Z is in the morning, L must be in the morning and Tuesday is the only Morning left

Morning Schedule: G-L-Z

G and S must go on different days so S can only go on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday afternoon. In either case it's after L

Ok, that was stupid had a perfect section and then did that. It's amazing how once you do something you can get so fixated on the way you tried it first that you don't realize what you did wrong!

Thanks!

I totally agree! Sometimes your mind overlooks some rather silly things when it gets too fixated.
