I do not understand this because I thought that 2 comes, before 3? Please explain to me how you came up with this answer? Have a Blessed Week.
Sincerely,
Celes Mickle,

Celes,

You're correct. 2 does come before 3.


First, let's take a look at what we get when we hit the reduce button for the question:


Inferences:
1. Since the fifth digit of the code must be more than the third, the fifth digit cannot be zero.

2. The second digit must be twice the first, and the only numbers available for the code are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Therefore, you can infer that one of the following two scenarios will arise:

Scenario A:
1 2 __ __ __

In scenario A, the 3RD slot can have either 0 OR 3, and the 5TH slot can have either 3 OR 4.


Scenario B:

2 4 __ __ __

In scenario A, the 3RD slot can have either 0 OR 1, and the 5TH slot can have either 1 OR 3.

-------------------------------------------------------


Okay, still with me?

Since 1 MUST be last, we know that we're going to have to go with scenario B.
This give us:
2, 4, __, __, 1


From this we can get our answer. Choice "A" is correct. The first digit MUST be 2.

This post covers the setup for game 1. A subsequent post will give you the solution for question 1.

This very confusing

Farley,

The Logic Games section is confusing at first. The only thing that makes it less confusing is practice.

That said, let us know what exactly you find confusing about this question, and we'll try to help.

I still don't understand how 2 is first
