Question 1

Three teams — Alpha, Bravo, Charlie — finish a race. Alpha beats Bravo; Bravo beats Charlie. What is the finishing order?

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie

Question 2

A code is valid only if it has exactly 6 digits. The code 84392 is entered. Is it valid?

Accepted Answer

No, it has only 5 digits

84392 contains 5 digits, which does not meet the exactly-6-digit requirement, so it is invalid.

Starting on day 1 and adding 3 each time gives days 1, 4, 7, and 10.
