Tim is not standing on either end of the line, and he is in front of Jenny. Use the process of elimination to make a table of each friend’s position in line.What is the order of people standing in line?

Answer
A
Tim, Paco, Jenny, Maria
B
Paco, Tim, Jenny, Maria
C
Maria, Tim, Jenny, Paco
D
Jenny, Maria, Tim, Paco

Explanation

Paco must be in an odd-numbered position, so he must be first or third. Tim must be between the ends and in front of Jenny, which rules out choices C and D. Choice A puts Paco second, an even-numbered position. In choice B, Paco is first, Tim is second, Jenny is third, and Maria is fourth, so all the clues are satisfied.
