Mrs.
Carson took a taxi to meet her three friends for lunch. They were waiting for
her outside the restaurant when she pulled up in the car. She was so excited
to see her friends that she left her tote bag in the taxi. As the taxi pulled
away, she and her friends took notice of the license plate number so they
would be able to identify the car when they called the taxi company.
#1: The four women seem to
agree that the plate starts out with the letter J.
#2: Three of them agree
that the plate ends with 12L.
#3: Three of them think
that the second letter is X, and a different three think that the third
letter is K.

she saw. Which one is most likely the license plate number of the taxi?
