Option 1: Arranging heights

Consider these three facts:
a) Jay is shorter than Carrie.
b) Ashley is taller than Duane.
c) If Jay is the tallest, then Ashley is shorter than Ben; otherwise, Jay is the second shortest and Ashley is not the tallest.

Using those three facts, list the four people (Ashley, Jay, Carrie, and Duane) in order from shortest to tallest.
