Chuck can barely defeat, by himself alone, Sylvester and Steven together.

Sylvester and Chuck are a perfect match for Arnold and Steven.

But if Chuck and Arnold exchange places, Sylvester and Arnold together can decisively beat Chuck and Steven.

Who is stronger, who is weaker?

With just a brief glance at this problem you get 3 equations:

Chuck >or= Sly + Steve

Sly + Chuck = Arnold + Steve

Sly + Arnold > Chuck + Steve

 

if you intuitively assign powers to each person 4 for strongest and 1 for weakest, I came up with

4=Arnold

3=Chuck

2=Sly

1=Steve
