1200.11 – Contest Results


Five students, Annie, Barbara, Chris, Don, and Eleanor, took 1st through 5th place in a "Name that Song" contest, but not necessarily in that order. They are all talking with you now that it's over, and are pelting you with these comments:

  • Annie: Don was third.

  • Barbara: Eleanor was not first.

  • Chris: I was not last.

  • Don: Chris was lower than Barbara.

  • Eleanor: Barbara was second.

But alas, since these are very tricky kids, their statements are not all true. The comments of those who actually took 1st and 2nd place are false; those of the other three are true. Can you figure out who won what prize?
