Anna, Ben, and Chloe are sitting in a row of three seats. Anna is not sitting in the middle seat. Ben is sitting to the immediate right of Anna. Who is sitting in the rightmost seat?
Ben
Since Anna is not in the middle and Ben is immediately to her right, Anna must be in the left seat and Ben in the middle. This leaves Chloe for the rightmost seat. Wait, if Anna is left and Ben is middle, Chloe is right. Let's re-read: 'Ben is sitting to the immediate right of Anna.' If Anna is left (1), Ben is middle (2). Then Chloe is right (3). So Chloe is in the rightmost seat, not Ben! Let's correct the explanation: Anna is left, Ben is middle, Chloe is right. Thus Chloe is in the rightmost seat.
