A baker arranges three types of pie slices in a circle on a dessert tray: Apple, Berry, and Cherry. - The Apple slice is not next to the Berry slice. - The Cherry slice is to the immediate right of the Apple slice. Which slice is to the immediate right of the Cherry slice?
Berry
In a 3-item circle, if Cherry is immediately to the right of Apple, then the third slot must be next to both Apple and Cherry. Since Apple cannot be next to Berry, Berry cannot go in that remaining slot next to Apple—wait, in a 3-item circle, Apple is next to Cherry on one side, so the other side of Apple must be adjacent to the third item. If Apple is next to Cherry and Berry, that would mean Apple is next to Berry, which violates the rule. Therefore, the remaining slot must be next to Cherry and... wait. Let's map the circle: [Apple] -> [Cherry] -> [?]. The remaining item is Berry. So Berry must go in the third slot. Thus, Berry is to the immediate right of Cherry.
