Solution

The problem states that Q is the second tallest, S is taller than the shortest, and R is neither the tallest nor the shortest.

  1. Since Q is the second tallest, T must be the tallest because T is the only one left who can be taller than Q.

  2. The shortest person can't be S, R, Q, or T. So, the shortest person must be P.

  3. S is immediately taller than the shortest, so S is taller than P but shorter than the others.

  4. R is neither the tallest nor the shortest, so R must be shorter than T and Q but taller than S and P.

So, the order from tallest to shortest is T, Q, R, S, P. Therefore, R is in the middle when they stand in the order of their heights.
