Five identical-looking keys are lined up in a row from left to right. The bronze lock key is directly to the left of the gold key. The silver lock key is in the exact middle. The copper lock key is not at either end of the row. If the gold key is fourth in line from the left, which position holds the key to the bronze lock?
Third from the left
The bronze key is directly to the left of the gold key. Because the gold key is fourth from the left, the bronze key must occupy the third position from the left.
