The answer would be the shortest person is Max and the tallest is Tim. You know that this is the correct answer. I will now tell you why. Since Tom is taller than Brad and Mike it would look something like this: - Tom - Brad - Mike

Then since Kevin is shorter than Brad but taller than Mike it would look somewhat like this: - Tom - Brad - Kevin - Mike

After that, we know that Mike is taller than Max but shorter than Kevin. The list would be look like this: - Tom - Brad - Kevin - Mike - Max

Finally to conclude the answer, we know that Tom is shorter than Tim. It would look like this as a result. - Tim - Tom - Brad - Kevin - Mike - Max

Then I said answer in order of questions. It is asking for shortest then tallest. The concluding answer would be Max is shortest then Tim is tallest. If you answered the other way too bad you got the answer wrong. I will create more and more problems each week for you problem solvers out there. Bye! Ciao!

all did a great job

Tom > Brad Tom > Mike Kevin < Brad & Kevin > Mike Mike > Max & < Kevin Tom < Tim

According to the first line Brad is the shortest, According to the 3rd line Mike is the smallest since Kevin is smaller than Brad but Mike is smaller. According to the 4th line Mike (the current smallest) is taller than Max that make Max < Mike Therefor Max is the smallest.

Leading us to the end of the chain

For the tallest Tom is taller than Brad Since in all other lines Brad > x we know brad is the (current)second tallest At the last line Tom < Tim ,Tim is taller!

Shortest = Max and Tallest = Tim

You shall get dishonored back mwahhmwahmahhahah
