      F and G have age difference 6 years so either 10 or 16
      E and 23 are together
      but in your arrangement E and G are together. G is either 10 or 16. So E and G cannot be together

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page
    layout of your website? Its very well written; I
    love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

    get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and appearance.
    I must say you’ve done a excellent job with this.
    In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Safari.
    Excellent Blog!

    most beneficial in its field. Fantastic blog!
