Grammar
in which?
Many years ago, psychologists performed an experiment which they put a number of people in a room, alone except for a ring toss.

What this book explained is that you should use 'where' or 'in which' instead of 'which' because the clause after 'which' is a complete clause.
Then if I put 'in which', will the sentence have two ins?
Psychologists performed an experiment in which they put a number of people in a room. <- Is it correct?
What I have learnt is that if there is a sentence like
'From furnitures to glasses from which people drink in the bar',
you can move 'from' behind 'which' like
'glasses which people drink from in the bar'.
So in this case can I move the 'in' in 'in which'
behind and make it 'which they put in a number of people in the room'?
And also can a sentence have two ins in a row?
'which they put a number of people in in the room'?
