A1. Alex, Birgit, Cedric, Dion, and Ersin all write their names on a slip of paper and put these 5 slips into a large hat. Then they each draw one of the slips without putting it back. In this process, Birgit draws Alex's slip, Cedric draws Dion's slip, and Dion draws Ersin's slip. Additionally, Ersin does not draw Cedric's slip. Whose slip does Alex draw? Alex draws the slip of:
A) Alex
B) Birgit
C) Cedric
D) Dion
E) Ersin
A1. C) If we put the data in a table, we see that the lots of Birgit and Cedric are still left. Now, Ersin does not draw the lot of Cedric, so he must draw that of Birgit. Therefore, Alex draws precisely the

| $\mathrm{A}$ | $\mathrm{B}$ | $\mathrm{C}$ | $\mathrm{D}$ | $\mathrm{E}$ |
| :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| $?$ | $\mathrm{~A}$ | $\mathrm{D}$ | $\mathrm{E}$ | $?$ |

lot of Cedric.
