Seven persons — A, B, C, D, E, F and G — sit in a straight row, all facing north. B sits exactly in the middle of the row. G sits immediately to the right of B. F sits immediately to the left of B. A sits immediately to the left of F. D sits at the extreme left end of the row. E sits at the extreme right end of the row. C sits between G and E. If B and E interchange their positions, who then sits third to the left of B's new position?

Question
