What is the sum of Frank’s height and Evelyn’s height in inches?
Let's see if we can unravel this
Betty must be 58 = the shortest
Dan must be 68
Frank must be 69 (Note that Dan is 1 inch shorter than Frank)
Aaron must be 64
Carrie must be 60
Evelyn must be 63
So....the heights must be
Betty Carrie Evelyn Aaron Dan Frank
58 60 63 64 68 69
Evelyn + Frank = 63 + 69 = 132 (inches)
