Five people sit in a row of five chairs numbered 1 to 5 from left to right. Alice sits immediately to the left of Bob. Carol sits immediately to the right of Dave. Eve sits on one of the outer ends. If Bob is in Chair 3, who is in Chair 5?
Carol
Bob is in Chair 3. Alice must be in Chair 2 (immediately left of Bob). Eve must occupy Chair 1 because Carol and Dave need two adjacent seats, which forces Dave into Chair 4 and Carol into Chair 5.
