Well... okay, sure, Hershel. "Hmm... well, if one of the shrimps was third, that would mean B or C. But if C was last, that would mean B was third. D and E both say that there were people ahead of them, so the first one has to be A. Then if there were people with stained clothes ahead of and behind D, the order would have to be A, E, B, D, C."

But what did this have to do with their situation though. Was Hershel trying to guilt him into apologizing to Snake? HMM. Somehow this all felt rather familiar...
