Three friends — Alice, Ben, and Carla — are sitting in a row.
Alice is not sitting at either end.
Ben is not sitting next to Alice.
Question:
Who is sitting in the middle?
Sure! Here's your hint:
Since Alice is not sitting at either end, she must be in the middle.
But Ben is not sitting next to Alice, so he can't be on either side of her...

Which gas in Earth’s atmosphere has increased over time due to burning fossil fuels?
oxygen
nitrogen
water vapor
carbon dioxide
carbon dioxide
The answer is: It’s not possible given the conditions.
Here's why:
Alice must be in the middle (she’s not on either end).
That leaves only two spots — left and right of Alice — for Ben and Carla.
But Ben cannot sit next to Alice — which means he can’t be in either of those spots.
So there’s no way to seat Ben without violating one of the rules.
Conclusion: The conditions are logically inconsistent — no valid arrangement exists.
