Show hints
Hint 1 of 2
Each person leaves one kind of footprint; follow each separate trail.
Still stuck? Show hint 2 →
Hint 2 of 2
Count how many of each footprint there are and order the people by who walked first (their prints get stepped over).
Show solution
Approach: separate and order the trails
- Each walker leaves a distinct shoe print; group the prints by type.
- Later footprints overlap earlier ones, which fixes who walked first, second and third.
- Reading that order matches option A.
