    Remember: 2 blues cannot be together. Any one of blue has age 36. 12 is immediate Left of blue.. So..

    Now 3 between 12 and F. In 2nd the extreme left blue will be 36. In 1st 2 possibilities with blue =36. Also now 36 and 43 together. So..

    Now F 6 yrs older than B and 15+6 is 21 So F is 21. 2nd cancels out.
    Now 2 between 43 and red. In 1.2) 43 is green F is not yellow so F can only be red. But 2 reds cannot be together so 1.2) cancels out.
    1 between G and 32. G likes red. Now left with
