Playful Sunbits



















Time to Strain the Brain (it's really easy!)

Six people are standing: Oliver and Olivia (the "Olives"), Alexander and Alexandra (the "Alexes"), and Christian and Christine (the "Chrises"). Read the clues below and put the six people in order from tallest to shortest.

* One "Chris" is the shortest of the group, while the other "Chris" is the second tallest.
* Both "Alexes" are taller than both "Olives."
* Alexandra is shorter than Christian and Alexander.
* Olivia is taller than Christine and Oliver.

Hmm. Since one Chris is the shortest, then that one has to be Christine, since Christian is taller than Alexandra. That also makes Christian the second-tallest. Since both Alexes are taller than both Olivers, and Christine is the shortest, then their height as to be among the top three. Since Alexander is taller than Alexandra, he must also be taller than Christian, who is the second tallest. Since Olivia is taller than Oliver, we don't need to know that he is also taller than Christine (for she is the shortest).

So the order (from tallest to shortest): Alexander, Christian, Alexandra, Olivia, Oliver, and Christine.

A Motorcycle club started buy a few of the high end custom chopper builders. Kind of an exclusive “yuppie” MC.
