One puzzle for the day.
Five swimmers (George, Peter, Robert, Mathew, and John) have
been preparing for a competition. The five swimmers each compete in

butterfly.
5) George finished just behind Peter and just ahead of John in the
breaststroke.
6) Mathew finished just ahead of Robert in the freestyle.
7) John's finish in the backstroke was the same as Mathew's in the
butterfly.
8) Mathew only finished in the same position in the backstroke and
the freestyle..
79) Neither Peter nor John finished third in any event.
10) Robert finished in a different position in each event.
