UK Version

Let's narrow things down. The smallest person says: "I'll finish fourth". Take a close look at the swimmers. Swimmer A is the smallest, so he will finish in fourth place.

"The second-fastest swimmer is standing next to the biggest person."

US Version

OK, well, B is clearly the biggest of the swimmers. So A or C fits the above statement. However, you already know that A will come in fourth, so C must come in second.

UK Version

Well, B is clearly the biggest swimmer, so the above statement applies to either A or C. However, you already know that A will come fourth, so C must come second.

"I may have the biggest body, but I"m certainly not the fastest swimmer."

US Version

This must be B's statement. Since we've already figured out second and fourth place, that just leaves first, third, and fifth. B clearly states that he's not the fastest, so he must be third or fifth. Now there are just two places left to figure out!

UK Version

This must be B's statement. Since we've already worked out second and fourth place, that just leaves first, third and fifth. B clearly states that he's not the fastest, so he must be third or fifth. That leaves just two more places to work out!

US Version

"I've got the sweetest swimsuit, but I'm no match for big B..."

It's a matter of opinion, of course, but the only one really wearing a flashy swimsuit is E.

You learned that B must finish third or fifth. Based on E's statement, you can now say that B is third and E is fifth.

Just one left now. Who is it?
