1. Q purchases three before S. 2. At most two individuals purchase between Q and R, who purchases before Q. 

Here, we have 3 Cases, i.e., Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3.

3. Only one individual purchases between R and P, who purchase immediately after X. 

Here, we have 6 cases, i.e., 2 more subcases of Case 1 and 1 more subcase of Case 3.

4. As many individuals purchase between Q and R as between X and Y.

Now, we can eliminate Case 3. (Because there is no vacant place for Y)

5. Z purchases three after Y.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1b and Case 2.

6. More than three individuals purchase between T and U, who purchase after T.

Here, we have 6 cases, i.e., 2 more subcases of Case 1 and 1 more subcase of Case 3.

4. As many individuals purchase between Q and R as between X and Y.

Now, we can eliminate Case 3. (Because there is no vacant place for Y)

5. Z purchases three after Y.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1b and Case 2.

6. More than three individuals purchase between T and U, who purchase after T.
