Five swimmers (Adam, Brad, Carl, Doug, and Eric) have been preparing
for the Olympics. It is now time for the swimming time trials. The
five swimmers each compete in the four different strokes (backstroke,
breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle). The top three finishers in
each event will qualify for the Olympic swim team in that stroke.

5) Adam
finished just behind Brad and just ahead of Eric in the
breaststroke.
6) Doug finished just ahead of Carl in the
freestyle.
7) Neither Brad nor Eric finished third in any
event.
8) Eric's finish in the backstroke was the same as Doug's
in the butterfly.
9) Doug only finished in the same position in
the backstroke and the freestyle.
10) Carl finished in a
different position in each event.
11) Brad finished only two
events in the same position.

contestant who finished first in the freestyle did not qualify in the
backstroke.

backstroke did not finish third in the butterfly.

contestant finished in the same position in both the breaststroke and
the butterfly.
