Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad!
Correct
That's right!
Jim is D. Steve and Mike are next to each other, and Tom is above Steve. Since you know Jim is not next to Tom, he must be on the lowest step, so he is D.
A is Tom, and Steve and Mike are B and C, although there is no way of knowing which is which with this information.
