Alec and Alma stood to the right of the box, Adam stood to the right of Alroy, two people stood between Aaron and Aubyn, Archy and Adrian stood to the left of the box, six people stood between Alma and Aaron, seven people stood between Alston and Albert, Antony and Adrain stood either side of Aaron and two people stood between Aaron and Archy. Who won the ceompetition ?
