Racing goats The clues
Five goats, named Ben, Bart, Betty, Bertha and Beverly, decided to have a race to see which of them could run the fastest. Each of the goats chose a different animal to ride on their backs as jockeys. The jockeys were a skunk, a turtle, a monkey, a rabbit and a chicken. Naturally enough, the goats finished in first, second, third, fourth and fifth places. Based on the clues, match the goats with their animal jockeys and their order of finishing.
1. Bart finished just one place behind Betty, and Beverly finished just one place behind Bart, and none of them had a skunk on their backs!
