## Prompt

Ann, Beth, and Cara finished a race in distinct positions. Ann did not finish first. Beth finished immediately ahead of Ann. Cara did not finish last. Who finished in each position?

## Response

Cara finished first, Beth second, and Ann third.  

This is the only order that satisfies all constraints simultaneously.  

## Constraints
- Three distinct positions in the race: first, second, and third.  
- Ann cannot be first.  
- Beth must occupy the position immediately before Ann.  
- Cara cannot be third.  

## Possible Configurations
- Beth first and Ann second would force Cara into third, violating the rule that Cara is not last.  
- Beth second and Ann third places Cara first, satisfying every condition.  

No other arrangement works.  

What additional constraints, if any, would you like to add to this puzzle?
