Discussion
If the first and second letters in the word 'MISFORTUNE' were interchanged, also the third and the fourth letters, the fifth and the sixth letters and so on, which letter would then be the eighth letter counting to your left ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: T
MISFORTUNE has ten letters, so the swaps pair 1 with 2, 3 with 4, 5 with 6, 7 with 8 and 9 with 10:
I M F S R O U T E N
The eighth letter from the left is T.
Doing all five swaps before counting is essential - the eighth position is itself affected by the fourth swap, so counting in the original word would give N.
