Mary was both 13th highest and 13th lowest in a spelling contest. How many people were in the contest?

A
26
B
28
C
27
D

Explanation and memory cue

If Mary is 13th highest, there are 12 people above her. If she is also 13th lowest, there are 12 people below her. Including Mary, the total number of participants is 12 + 1 + 12 = 25. Another way to calculate is total = (position from top) + (position from bottom) - 1 = 13 + 13 - 1 = 25. Therefore, the total number of participants in the contest is 25.
