King Arthur's Knights

Appeared in Volume 10/1, February 1997

King Arthur sat at the Round Table on three successive evenings with his knights - Beleobus, Caradoc, Driam, Eric, Floll and Galahad - but on no occassion did any person have as his neighbour one who had sat next to him before.

On the first evening they sat in alphabetical order round the table. But afterwards King Arthur arranged the two next sittings so that he might have Beleobus as near to him as possible and Galahad as far away from him as could be managed.

How did he seat the knights to the best advantage, remembering the rule that no knight may have the same neighbour twice?
