Going Insane? PT 7 Sec 2 Game 2

I must be going insane...I just did the LG section of PT 7, and I got every answer right in games 1, 3, and 4, but couldn't even SET UP game 2. I realize this is strange because everyone talks about how game 3 is the hard one but that was fine for me, so I must just be going insane or something. I searched and no one on TLS has even mentioned game 2 so can someone please tell me what i'm missing? I just sat down with it again for 15 minutes and I just cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Could someone just sketch it out for me? That's all I need.

Good old Doctor Yamata... Did you neglect to include Thursday in your diagram?

WAIT! Ok I see what you're saying. Thursday she does not work but "She lectures on on exactly two consecutive calendar days.

That is what I missed, thank you so much.

Yeah, any time they skip a day like that, you have to account for it in your diagrams or you'll be screwed. Wednesday and Friday are not "consecutive days" but if you put them next to each other in your diagram with no gap for Thursday, you'll end up mis-applying some of the rules/inferences.
