Problem Analysis

We are given that Kolya, Borya, Vova, and Yura took the first places in a competition. We need to determine the place each boy took based on the following statements: - Kolya did not take the first or fourth place. - Borya took the second place. - Vova was not the last.

Solution

Let's analyze the given statements one by one to determine the place each boy took.

1. Kolya did not take the first or fourth place. - This means that Kolya took either the second or third place. - We can't determine Kolya's exact place yet.

2. Borya took the second place. - This means that Borya took the second place. - We now know that Kolya did not take the second place, so Kolya must have taken the third place.

3. Vova was not the last. - This means that Vova did not take the fourth place. - Since Kolya took the third place, Vova must have taken the first place.

Based on the given statements, we can conclude that: - Kolya took the third place. - Borya took the second place. - Vova took the first place.

Therefore, the places each boy took are as follows: - Kolya: third place - Borya: second place - Vova: first place
