Reordering the three-way-handshake and infering the TCP flags

A TCP connection, as explained in the TCP chapter of Computer Networking: Principles, Protocols and Practice always starts with a three-way-handshake.


Reorder the three-way-handshake and infer the TCP flags

Can you correctly reorder the three segments that are used to establish a TCP connection and set the SYN and ACK flags correctly ?
