Lois was clever enough to figure out the winner -- are you? See if you can determine the results of the contest from their statements.

- Leyton: I was third. Charles was last.
- Denise: Kai won. I was second.
- Kai: Leyton had the best score. I came in last.
- Charles: I came in second. Kai was third.
