Eight persons live in a six storied building. The ground floor is numbered 1, first floor numbered 2 and so on. Each floor has two flats Flat X and Flat Y. Flat X is to the west of Flat Y. Each of the flat has the same construction, so the building can also be said to be stalked in two columns. Only one person can live in one flat. Each person has different number of chocolates, with 2 being the least and 9 being the highest number of chocolates. G and W lives in the same column. B, who has two more chocolates than that of G, lives in a flat just above C’s flat and along the same column. Neither J nor M lives along the same column of the building as that of W. The person who has 8 chocolates lives alone on the floor in which he resides. The total number of chocolates with the persons living on the topmost floor is 10, with Flat X having more chocolates than Flat Y. M and W does not live on two consecutive floors. No one lives on the floor in which D lives and D has 7 chocolates. No two flats in the consecutive floors in the same column are vacant.

The number of floors between the floors of W and G is same as the number of floors between the floors of D and W but not on consecutive floors. The number of floors between the floors of J and D is same as the number of floors between the floors of M and C. If B lives below the floor of W, then B does not live alone on the floor.

A dice throwing game is being played and 3 dices are thrown. As per the given conditions, the movements of persons take place.
If a prime number appears on the third dice and an even number appears on at least one of the other two dices, then the persons on the third floor of the building that is immediately next in east direction to the building with least number of floors moves to the third floor of the building that is immediately next in the west direction to the building having maximum number of floors.
If a prime number appears on more than one of the dices, and an even number appears on the other dice then half the number of persons on the first floor of building E is moved to the second floor of the same building and then one – fourth of the total persons in the second-floor of that building moves to the third floor of building A and then one – third of the persons on the third floor of building A moves to the first floor of building C.
If an odd prime number appears on either of the first or third dice and two non-prime numbers appear on the other two dices then the persons on the second floors of all the first four buildings from west to the east together are equally distributed to the first three buildings from west to east. The persons move in such a way that the persons distributed to building A move to the first floor of building A, the persons distributed to building B move to the second floor of building B, and the remaining to the third floor of building C.
(Note: Take 1 as a non-prime number)
