Back in the days of Knights and Castles, there lived a mother and her 4 daughters. Each woman was employed doing a different job at different castles. As they were far apart in age, each had served a different number of years. Can you figure out who does which job at which castle, for what number of years?
1. The girls' mother served at Lanton Castle for the longest period of time. Elizabeth, being the youngest, had the least number of years in, one year less than the dairymaid.
2. Annie served more years than the chambermaid, who served 4 more years than Tess. Tess served 11 more years than servant at Daneby Manor.
3. The ladies' maid served fewer years than Mary's 19, and 10 more years than the servant at Forsham Palace.
4. The cook served five times as many years as Victoria and ten more years than the servant at Berkson Castle.
