Four passengers (W, X, Y, Z) enter an elevator on the ground floor. Two people exit on Floor 2, one person exits on Floor 3, and one person exits on Floor 4. W exits on an earlier floor than X. Y exits on the same floor as Z. On which floor does X exit?
Floor 4
Since two people exit on Floor 2, Y and Z must both exit on Floor 2 together. That leaves W and X for Floors 3 and 4. W exits before X, so W exits on Floor 3 and X exits on Floor 4.
