Place JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, into the grid. The sequence will snake around, but cannot go diagonally, nor cross itself.
Reasoning
Q1 can't have A as its answer (otherwise it would contradict itself).
If Q1's answer was C (meaning Q4's answer was A), then Q3's answer would be C. However, Q2's answer should now be A, but this isn't allowed by Q1 (as Q4 is the first answer with A). This is a contradiction.
Therefore, Q1's answer is B (meaning Q3's answer is A).
For Q2's answer to be C, Q4's answer would have to be A, which would contradict Q4. Therefore, Q2's answer is B making Q4's answer B.
