Option C is the correct answer if and only if "between" is interpreted such that X is between Y and Z if Y and Z are the immediate neighbors of X.
E.g. In configuration JHLMPTRS, M is between L and P, but M is not between L and T.
Were "between" interpreted in the looser sense, where X is between Y and Z if Y is anywhere on one side of X and Z is anywhere on the other side, then there are 3 possible combinations that would satisfy the 7 initial conditions as well as condition C.
* HSLMPRTJ
* HSLMPTRJ
* HRLMPSTJ

I want to clarify some of these conditions, because it seems like they're being interpreted differently by everyone.
2. Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
Does this mean Harry is to Larry's immediate left or two to Larry's left?
3. There is at least one to the left of Larry.
Does this mean Larry is not in the far left position? How is this condition any different from condition #2?
4. Mike lives in between Paul and Larry.
Does this mean Mike's immediate neighbors are Paul and Larry, or does this mean Mike is just somewhere between Paul and Larry?
2. Harry is just next to the left of Larry.
Does this mean Harry is to Larry's immediate left or two to Larry's left?
3. There is at least one to the left of Larry.
Does this mean Larry is not in the far left position? How is this condition any different from condition #2?
4. Mike lives in between Paul and Larry.
Does this mean Mike's immediate neighbors are Paul and Larry, or does this mean Mike is just somewhere between Paul and Larry?
