Awards Ceremony - Logic Puzzles
At the local sports club, some veteran members were photographed together for the annual awards ceremony.
In the photograph, each member has a different coloured T-shirt.
Obviously, the number of awards each has won over the years counts towards their status within the club, however, it is also significant to let other members know how many relatives of theirs are eligible for membership.
From the information given below, can you determine the positions of the five members in the photograph, their T-shirt colour, their age (40, 48, 60, 65, 74), the number of awards they have won (40, 75, 96, 125, 165) and the number of eligible relatives (5, 9, 30, 46, 60)?
The person who is wearing red has 25 relatives more than Jesse and is not next to the person wearing blue.
Jordan is wearing orange and has 40 awards more than Jean.
Jean has 51 awards more than their age and Jesse has 5 relatives.
Jayden has 75 awards and is 65 years old.
The person on the far right has 37 fewer relatives than Jean and is 40 years old.
Jamie, who is the first, is 60 years old and has 20 awards fewer than their age.
The person who is next to the person who has 46 relatives but not next to the person who is 60 years old, is wearing yellow and has 96 awards.
The person in the centre has 46 relatives, is wearing blue and has 125 awards.
The person who is wearing green has 30 more relatives than the person to the left of them.

Puzzle 214
In the illustration we have a sketch of Sir Edwyn de Tudor going to rescue his love, who was held captive by a neighbouring wicked baron.
Sir Edwyn calculated that if he rode at fifteen miles an hour he would arrive at the castle an hour too soon, while if he rode at ten miles an hour he would get there just an hour too late.
Now, it was of the first importance that he should arrive at the exact time appointed, in order that the rescue that he had planned should be a success, and the time of the tryst was five o'clock, when the captive would be taking afternoon tea.
The puzzle is to discover exactly how far Sir Edwyn de Tudor had to ride.
