A gardener places four distinct flowers in a single row: a Rose, a Lily, a Tulip, and a Daisy. The Rose is not at either end. The Daisy is at the far right end. The Lily is placed immediately to the right of the Rose. What is the exact left-to-right order of the flowers?
Tulip, Rose, Lily, Daisy
Daisy is at position 4. The Rose cannot be at position 1 or 4, nor position 3 (since Lily must sit immediately to its right). Thus, Rose is at position 2, placing Lily at position 3. This leaves position 1 for the Tulip.
