A is taller than B but shorter than C. D is shorter than B. E is taller than C. Who is the tallest?
From the statements: C is taller than A, A is taller than B, B is taller than D, and E is taller than C. So the order is E, then C, then A, then B, then D. E is the tallest. I would mark E.
A taller than B, C taller than A, D shorter than B. Shortest?
C > A > B > D. Shortest D. I draw a chain. I would not keep it in my head.
Five people in a line. How do you start?
Definite ends and middle first, then relative left-of. Slots _ _ _ _ _. Vague constraints last. If two cases remain I branch small.
Six people circular, A opposite B. How do you count?
Fix A to kill rotation. Opposite is three seats away in a hexagon. I read whether reflections count as the same. Then arrange the rest.
Add E taller than C to C>A>B>D. Tallest?
E > C > A > B > D. Tallest E. I insert into the existing chain. I do not restart from scratch.
