Tinman's Pick

Puzzle

Tinman was in quite a pickle. He was choosing a vehicle that he had to drive for the next 7 years, and he had to make the best decision possible. He had only five choices to choose from, and the choices each had different qualities that made them better or worse.

If the third choice was worse than the first choice and the second choice as good as the fifth, but the fifth choice was only as good as the worst choice leaving the fourth choice a little better than the third but not as good as the first, and the second was the worst choice to go with, which choice should Tinman go with if he wanted the best vehicle?

Answer

Tinman should go with the first choice. In order from worst to best, the choices are:

5th/2nd, 3rd, 4th, 1st.
