In a row of four numbered rooms (1 through 4), Alex is directly to the left of Blake. Charlie is not next to Blake. If Alex is in Room 2, which room is Charlie in?
Room 4
Since Alex is in Room 2 and directly to the left of Blake, Blake must be in Room 3. Charlie cannot be next to Blake, which rules out Room 2 and Room 4. However, Room 2 is occupied by Alex, so the only remaining valid room for Charlie is Room 4.
