Just like my other post, this is another "abstract" game, and I have no idea how to set it up..

There are only three plans, and the two reassignments must be made according to different plans. Thus, there are only six possible plan patterns:
1 followed by 2
1 followed by 3
2 followed by 1
2 followed by 3
3 followed by 1
3 followed by 2

If you plot out the results of these six patterns, you will have covered all the possibilities.

I realize that, but the problem is, you can start out with any of the people in any positions.

Look carefully at the setup. L, M, N, and O are initially assigned to Q, R, S, and T respectively.

See, I never understood what "respectively" meant in this regard. Most of my LG problems have come from not understanding simple words. In that case, the game becomes progressively easier. It's a doozy though. I wonder how many of these "oddball" games have been on the LSATS the past year.
