Can you help the mailman...?!


Question: A mailman wanted to get into the post office, but he had forgotten his code. However, he did remember five clues. These are what those clues were:

The fifth number plus the third number equals fourteen.

The fourth number is one more than the second number.

The first number is one less than twice the second number.

The second number plus the third number equals ten.

The sum of all five numbers is 30.

What were the five numbers and in what order?

e + c = 14
d = b + 1
a = 2b - 1
b + c = 10
a + b + c + d + e = 30

Substituting into the final equation yields b:

(2b - 1) + b + (10 - b) + (b + 1) + (14 - (10 - b)) = 30

4b + 14 = 30
b = 4, a = 7, c = 6, d = 5, e = 8

So, the numbers in order are:

7,4,6,5,8

WWHOOOOOOOOA...74658

it has to be

"Oh, what the hell! I'll just call home and they can give me the address."
