Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table in a seminar. Some of them are facing outside the center while some are facing towards the center, but not necessarily in the same order. E sits opposite to H, who faces same direction as F. F sits opposite to the one who sits third to the left of B. A sits third to the right of the one who sits second to the left of F. A does not sit opposite to B. A faces same direction as C.G faces same direction as D, who does not face outside the center. Not more than two friends who sit immediate next to each other are facing same direction. E is neither an immediate neighbor of A nor of B. Only two friends sit between D and G, who sits to the immediate left of C.
How many friends sit between H and D, when counted in anti-clockwise direction from D?
