Question

post-53237-0-53588100-1360785973_thumb.j

Russian nested dolls set are all facing you.

Smallest to biggest they are ABCDEFGH
but some are inside the bigger dolls. If :
A has 3 dolls bigger on its left side
D has 2 dolls smaller on its left side
G has 1 doll bigger on its right side
H has 2 dolls smaller on its right side
F has 1 doll bigger on its left side
B has 1 doll smaller on its left side
C has 4 dolls bigger on its right side
E has 3 dolls smaller on its right side
Can you tell how they are arranged?

yes CaptainEd... if X is inside Y, Y would be reported as neither to X's left nor to X's right.

Right K-man.. the puzzle lacks restriction for more unique arrangements. Like "4 dolls is visible". Still easy but fun.

What i think hard is computing the posible number of arrangements.

Again, Thanks to you for replies
