Which means if the right hand person picked up a 7 they would know for sure the value of the other cards.
Also if the left hand person picked up a 1 they would know for sure the value of the other two cards.
This is why i ruled this option out.
I don't quite get what you mean. If the right hand person picked up a 7, he doesn't know for sure what the other two cards would be, because they could either be my example, 1/5/7, or the alternate one, 2/4/7.
And if the left hand person picked up a 1, he wouldn't know for sure either, since the combination could be either 1/2/10, 1/3/9, 1/4/8, or 1/5/7. Right?

The middle person know that the left hand person when they looked did not draw a 1. He was told at the beginning that the left hand guy did not have enough information. Therefore if he draws a 5, he knows for sure that the the others have a 2 and a 6.
So your answer is wrong
If the left hand person drew a 1, he wouldn't have enough information because the other 2 numbers could 2 and 10, 3 and 9, etc. So how can you rule out this number?
