    List of boys from tallest to shortest is: Bill, Frank, Ethan, Andy, Dan, Cory

    Solution:

    Given that Six boys are comparing their heights

    The six boys are Andy, Dan, Ethan, Bill, Frank, Cory

    To find: List the boys from tallest to shortest

    Andy is taller than Dan but shorter than Ethan

    So the arrangement goes like this:

    Ethan

    Andy

    Dan

    Bill is taller than Ethan and Frank:

    So Bill is taller than ethan. Thus the arrangement from tall to short is made as:

    Bill

    Ethan

    Andy

    Dan

    Also bill is taller than frank. So frank can be placed anywhere below bill

    But given that Frank is taller than Ethan. So frank can be placed above ethan

    Now the arrangement goes like this:

    Bill

    Frank

    Ethan

    Andy

    Dan

    Cory is shorter than Dan.

    So cory can be placed below Dan.

    Thus final arrangement from tallest to shortest boys are:

    Bill

    Frank

    Ethan

    Andy

    Dan

    Cory
