Questions: 5 | Time: 12 minutes | Difficulty: Moderate
Sample Question:

a) P b) Q c) R d) S e) T

Step 1: Translate statements into inequalities
- Q < P < R
- T < S < P
- T is not shortest, so someone is shorter than T
Step 2: Combine the inequalities

Since T is not shortest: X < T < S < P < R
Order (tallest to shortest): R > P > S > T > X
Second tallest = P
