A man wanted to get into his work building, but he had forgotten his code. However he did remember five clues. These clues are:
1. The sum of fifth and third is fourteen
2. The fourth number is one more than the second number
3. The first number is one less than twice the second number
4. The sum of second and third number is ten
5. The sum of all five numbers is 30
What are these 5 numbers in exact order?

Looks pretty basic - system of five equations with five unknowns:
No. 1 = 7
No. 2 = 4
No. 3 = 6
No. 4 = 5
No. 5 = 8
So his code is 74658

Yeah, you're right! I bet you like doing some numbers. Way to go! Congratulations!
Again, like my other post, I thought no one would try this one. And I'm glad, you find it very basic.
