Miscellaneous Questions

Please feel free to offer help with any or all, but please not neither. 
Thanks a bunch in advance, I am truly appreciative.
Edit: I've added the page number for the games which appear in the book entitled "The Next 10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests"
First,
PrepTest 29 game 2 (Page 33) posed a problem to me, I wasn't sure if there were any significant inferences to make that would have made this game any easier.
Edit: I did a brute force of this game this afternoon, turns out there are only 4 possible H/J combos for 1 and 4 possible H/J combos for 2. Still not sure if there is an easier way to do this.
Next,
What would the contrapositive of this statement look like:
If Fleure left any message, Pasquale and Theodore did also, all of Pasquale's preceding any of Theodore's.
Next,
PrepTest 31 game 2 (Page 85) seemed like it had an enormous amount of conditional statements to handle (seems to be a common theme in grouping games). The only truly significant inference that I got from the game was that the presence of any type of rap excluded any type of jazz or soul. It was a good limiting inference, but I wasn't sure if there were any others.
Next,
PrepTest 31 game 4 (Page 87) seemed very confusing and hard, I did well on it by sheer luck and didn't particularly understand it.
Next,
What would the contrapositive of this statement look like:
If both French plays are selected, then the Russian play is not selected.
Would it just look like: Rp -> Fp <--/--> Fp?
Next,
PrepTest 34 game 4 (Page 213) had a sizable number of complicated conditional statements, any suggestions out there how to deal with this (or do I simply need to keep studying?)?
Lastly,
What would the conditional as well as the contrapositive of this statement look like:
If the stand carries watermelons, then it carries figs or tangerines or both.
