1. If English is the first, then A is the truth, A is the first in mathematics, B is the first in chemistry, and finally only C is the first in physics, but it is wrong for B to tell lies.

2. Through 1, suppose that D's mathematics is the first, then B's chemistry is the first, and then suppose C's English is the first, then C says: A's mathematics is not the top three, then B says: C's physics is the first (established), and finally A's physics is the first (A says D's English is also deceptive).

therefore

A: Physics B: Chemistry C: English D: Mathematics.
