Explanation

Ordering of departure time (earlier →\rightarrow later):

  • W left earlier than V: W<VW < V.
  • P left later than V: V<PV < P.
  • T left later than P: P<TP < T.
  • S left later than T: T<ST < S.
  • U left later than S: S<US < U. Putting departure times in order: W<V<P<T<S<UW < V < P < T < S < U. Thus, W left the earliest.

Ordering of amount drunk (more →\rightarrow less):

  • Q > U > V
