Level 1 · Warm-up

1 Clues: "Fox is left of Goat. Goat is left of Hen." Who is in the middle? (name)
Show worked solution
Chain: Fox, Goat, Hen → Goat is in the middle.
2 "Milo is to the right of Nora" — are they necessarily next to each other?
Show worked solution
No — "right of" allows gaps. Only "immediately right of" means touching.
3 Tower clues: "Ali is older than Bec. Bec is older than Cam." Who is youngest? (name)
Show worked solution
Tower: Ali > Bec > Cam → Cam is youngest.

Level 2 · Core

4 Three in a row: "Kip is right of Lu. Meg is left of Kip." Two arrangements fit. Who is furthest right in BOTH? (name)
Show worked solution
L M K and M L K both fit → Kip is always furthest right (the official Archie pattern).
5 Four seats 1-4: "Dana sits at the far right. Eve sits 2 places from Dana." Which seat is Eve in? (number)
Show worked solution
Dana is seat 4; two places away is seat 2 (seat 6 does not exist — the edge kills one direction).
6 "Rio is faster than Sky. Tam is faster than Sky." Can you order Rio and Tam?
Show worked solution
No — both beat Sky, but no clue connects Rio and Tam to each other.

Level 3 · Challenge

7 Five chests 1-5: "Black is at the far right. White is 2 places from black. Yellow is immediately left of white." Which position is yellow? (number)
Show worked solution
Black 5 → white 3 → yellow immediately left of white = position 2.
8 Four runners: "Jo beat Ki. Ki beat Lee. Mia was not last." Who finished last? (name)
Show worked solution
Jo > Ki > Lee; Mia is not last, so Lee is last (Mia slots anywhere above).
9 Five books 1-5 on a shelf: "The atlas is in the middle. The dictionary is 2 places from the atlas. The comic is immediately right of the dictionary." Which position is the comic in? (number)
Show worked solution
Atlas 3 → dictionary at 1 or 5. If the dictionary were at 5, "immediately right" would need position 6 — impossible. So dictionary 1, comic 2. The edge killed one case, exactly like the chest puzzle.
