Workings

Hint
There are 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile, and 8 furlongs in a mile.

Answer
Square feet in half a square mile.

Reasoning
There are 3 feet in a yard, 1760 yards in a mile, and 8 furlongs in a mile.

A mile is 1760 x 3 = 5280 feet in a mile.

A square mile is 5280 x 5280 = 27878400 square feet.

Therefore, half a square mile = 13,939,200 square feet.

A furlong is 1760 ÷ 8 = 220 yards.

Therefore, a cubic furlong is 220 x 220 x 220 = 10,648,000 cubic yards.

Hint
Try rewriting each statement so that they are all 'finished before' statements instead.

Answer
Bailey won …

… then Dale, Alex, Chris, and Emery.

Reasoning
By placing the person who finished higher to the left, we have:

Dale finished before Alex (Dale > Alex) Emery finished after Bailey (Bailey > Emery) Alex finished before Chris (Alex > Chris) Emery finished after Dale (Dale > Emery) Bailey finished before Alex (Bailey > Alex) Dale finished after Bailey (Bailey > Dale) Chris finished before Emery (Chris > Emery)
From (1) and (3):

   Dale > Alex > Chris

Adding (7):

   Dale > Alex > Chris > Emery

Adding (6):

   Bailey > Dale > Alex > Chris > Emery

Which is the final placing for all the players, and can be double-checked with the remaining clues.
