"At a musical recital five students --" She was about to list off some Japanese names, but decided to try English instead for Jane's sake--"John, Kate, Larry, Mary and Nick, performed five musical pieces. Two by Bach, two by Mozart and one by Vivaldi. There were three violinists and two pianists. Each student performed only one piece, and played only one instrument. What is the order of the students, their respective instruments and the composer, with the following conditions--"
Carefully, Naoto lifted a finger and counted off each of the conditions.
"The composers were not played consecutively. Vivaldi was played last and Mozart was played first. There was one piano piece that was played between two violin pieces, and two violin pieces between the first and last piano piece. There were no piano pieces by Mozart. Kate played third. John played a piece by Mozart, and was immediately followed by Nick, who played the piano. Mary did not play a piece by Vivaldi."
