Why does the question seem too simple for a 10 year old to me?

It's just about knowing your alphabet, which iirc I had down @ age 5?

maybe it's jsut an excersize in slowing down and thinking? (which I think even us adults had to think a few seconds and order things).
I think that's a bit harsh. The problem is certainly simple enough, but it depends absolutely on knowing (or being able to divine) the definition of the term "guide words". I have certainly never heard the term before, and the little mental jump required doesn't really have any correlation with age or grasp of the alphabet at all.
