Question types: Who has the most?

Rule: Ordering by clues

Write each clue as an inequality: “Eve has more than Owen” is E > O.

Join them into one line from the most: E > O and O > J give E > O > J.

Example: Ann has more than Ben, Ben more than Carl, Dan fewer than Carl: Ann, Ben, Carl, Dan.

Watch out: “Owen has fewer than Eve” means the same as “Eve has more than Owen”: Eve comes higher.
