A puzzle
you may have seen it before but kept me amused for all of 148 nanoseconds.
(I wold have thought remembering the actual number would have been easier than remembering the realtionship between them but hey, it is not my
puzzle.)
A man wanted to get into his work building, 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?

wait until someone else walks in, then either watch them put the code in, or just follow them through?

That took me an annoyingly long time. 
Although it does help if you write the question down correctly in the first place!

74658 Agreed - took me over a minute!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
