Puzzle: Four offices (Records, Cashier, HR and Legal) occupy floors 1 to 4 of a building, one office per floor, with floor 1 at the bottom. HR is directly above Records. Legal is not on floor 1 or floor 4. The Cashier is on a higher floor than Legal. Which office is on floor 4?

Correct answer: A. Cashier

If Legal were on floor 2, the remaining floors 1, 3 and 4 could not hold Records and HR one above the other while keeping the Cashier above Legal. So Legal is on floor 3, the Cashier on 4, and Records and HR on 1 and 2. The only arrangement is: floor 1 Records, floor 2 HR, floor 3 Legal, floor 4 Cashier.
