RE: Daily Brain Games 50 - how witty are you?

in #contest6 years ago

I need a clarification for the previous puzzle answer. "Jonathan just beat out Courtney to come in directly behind Tony. Two other runners were behind Jonathan but before Rob"

  1. the word "other" implies two runners other than Courtney
  2. "just beat out" and "were behind" implies that even before Jonathan beat Courtney two runners were between Jonathan and Rob

I had initially come up with the order posted as solution above but had to change because of the above mentioned 2 statements

Sort:  

These are independent statements.
The first implies that the order is Tony, Jonathan and Courtney.

The second says that there were two runners AFTER Jonathan and BEFORE Rob.
