Far off in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, there is a place called Camp Curatos. No, it is not named after some random tribe; rather, it is a camp dedicated to curing teens of all ages of bad and childish habits. Recently, the camp advisors have taken on five new challenges (3 boys - Mark, Joseph, and Kev; and 2 girls - Selene and Ariadne). However, in their files, the advisors seem to have gotten a few facts mixed up about these five teens! Can you help them piece together the facts?
1. The 5 teens are Joseph, the 12-year-old, the pencil-snapper, the procrastinator, and the one rewarded with ice cream.
2. Selene is one year younger than the procrastinator.
3. The pencil-snapper left after the shortest amount of time; he was rewarded with a Chevy (which he was able to drive).
4. Ariadne is not the oldest; however, she did take the longest time to leave Camp Curatos.
5. The 15-year-old took 23 days to be cured of his nail-chewing habit.
6. Mark received $20; CDs were sent to Joseph.
7. The 12-year-old spent 3 weeks in camp, but it was well worth his time, for he could now pay attention in class without fidgeting.

Very very very hard for me.Good one though!
Winner4600, I love your teasers, you are so good at writing them, the "old enough to drive" clue didn't help me much though seeing as that age is different depending where people live.
Overall a good teaser though

thanks, everyone!
and amn, the "old enough" clue is just to rule out the younger ages (like 12)

Great One! Fun to work through.
Short & sweet. A pleasure!
I got it on the 2nd try Well-worded, challenging and fun
Nice teaser!
It was a nice kind of trick to have days, weeks, and months, because then you had to think how many days that is, etc.
I waited until towards the end for the car clue, because I wasn't sure because they can be different.
But, I got it right on the first try, great teaser!

yeah I really liked the days/weeks/months part too -- sneaky!
Plus, I would LOVE to go to that camp -- what great prizes!!! Do they allow adults??

Yay, I actually got it the first time without any trouble! Great teaser, though it seems a little unfair one person gets ice cream while another gets a car...
So which would you prefer?
The car, but only so I could sell it for money.
Money... to buy ice cream with?
No, maybe to invest in a bank with a good interest rate. I just find it interesting that the rewards are increasingly better. The way I see it, the ice cream is worth about $2, the $20 is worth $20, the CDs around $200, the cruise around $2000, and the car around $20000, give or take a little. I'm pretty sure that's not how it was intended to turn out though.
Good teaser anyways.

Why thank you! (Although I think your estimation skills are a little off... )
Oh, what were the monetary equivalents for everything supposed to be?
How am I supposed to know?? Not what you said, anyway...
five star all the way
