Question 146669: Five divas waltzed into our church one Sunday.
Each one of them dressed to the nines.
Niecy, Maria, Marissa, Jacqueline, and Clementine.
Niecy beats Maria's age twice, so it undeniably appears.
Clementine and Jacqueline lag behind Niecy by seven years.
Maria is exactly two years more than Marissa's age thrice.
Tell me how old is each diva, if twenty-two years lie between the five.
Getting stuck on the between part. is it between as in (x-y), or a mean value?
