- Start by deciphering the weight order with given clues. Only two are lighter than F, implying F is third lightest.

- A is lighter than F, so A is either first or second. H is lighter than A, making H the lightest. Order so far: H, A, F.

- E is heavier than D, and D is heavier than G. Align them: G, D, E.

- C is not the heaviest but heavier than E, thus C is second heaviest.

- With C second heaviest, remaining heaviest is B. Order: H, A, F, G, D, E, C, B.

- Qualified positions: G is fourth, with three (H, A, F) lighter than him.
