Difficulty:	(2)

Five runners competed in a race; they were Dae, DaeShawn, Daemon, Daelen, and Daegel. They represented different teams: Turbo, I'm Tired, Eat Dust, How Far Left, and Shin Splits. They each wore a different color uniform: red, yellow, blue, green, and orange. Determine, from the clues given, the runner, the color of the uniform, the team, and the order in which they finished.

1. Daemon won, but was not wearing the yellow uniform.
2. Dae finished ahead of How Far Left but behind the blue uniform; however, none of them finished first.
3. Neither Daemon, DaeShawn nor Daegel was wearing red, but one was team I'm Tired, another team Shin Splits, and the other finished fourth.
4. Daelen finished ahead of the one in red, who beat How Far Left, who was ahead of the orange uniform.
5. Neither DaeShawn nor Daemon represented Shin Splits or Turbo and neither of the teams or runners finished second.

Not too bad - I thought it was a nice grid problem.

mocha613 is right. There is not enough data to determine the teams for Dae and Daelen (between the 2 teams left).

There is enough information to determine the teams for Dae and Daelen. Look carefully at clue #4.
