1. just before the end of the term, four middle school students were discussing their chances for certain grades. the following remarks contain the gist of their hopes and fears.
Jack: we'll all get different grades. if i get an A, then Lucy will get a D.
Kate: if Lucy gets a C, then Jack will get a D. Jack will get a better grade than Paul.
Lucy: if Kate doesn't get an A, then Jack will get a C. if i get a C, then Paul won't get a D.
Paul: if Lucy gets an A, then i'll get a B. if Kate doesn't get a B, then i won't either.
when the term marks were made out, each of the four passed, and strange as it may seem, each received a grade that checked exactly with the ideas they had previously expressed. what grade did each receive? explain.
