Question 1
In a row of 52 people, after interchanging positions with B, A becomes 14th from the left and 39th from the right. If B was originally 11th from the right, what was A's original rank from the left?
Since B took A's original position, and B's original right rank was 11, we can find A's original left rank = total - r2_right + 1 = 52 - 11 + 1 = 8.
