You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Base on clue:
TREASURER < ASH < PRESIDENT
BANE AND SECRETARY, youngest and same age
TASHA AND SECRETARY are next door neighbors
We can say:
BANE could be anything but secretary
TASHA could be anything but secretary
ASH could be anything but president and treasurer
TASHA could either be vice president or treasurer
ASH is not the youngest because he is older than the treasurer
SECRETARY and BANE is youngest: ash, bane and tasha can't be secretary
RYAN=SECRETARY
ash can't be president, secretary and treasurer
ASH=VICEPRESIDENT
tasha can only be vice or treasurer, ash is vice
TASHA=TREASURER
leaving us BANE=PRESIDENT

HOPE THAT HELPS!!
