  5. i thin it is Peter because the question say that Ben is not 1st or 3rd. so he may be 2nd or 4th. then Ben was faster than Karen.so Karen must be in a place before Ben. But Jamie was one place in front of Karen, so Karen might be between Ben and Karen. At last, Peter is the first.

  6. Hmmm.....
    I think Peter was first because,Ben was faster than Karen,but they both were not 1st or 3rd.So that means the both of them should be 2nd or 4th.
    Jamie was only in fornt of Karen, that means Karen is 2nd,Jamie is 3rd,and Ben was 4th.But the question didn't tell anything about Peter,but we know others postion ,the postion which is left is 1st.So Peter is first!!!!

  12. I think the answer is Peter because the passage said that Ben was faster then Karen but it was not 1st or 2nd. Jamie was place in front of Karen. Karen was fourth,while Jamie was third because the passage had said so.Peter was first as they did not mention about Peter.That means Peter was first
