There are 60 s. in a m. That means 60 seconds in a minute. Can you work out these?

1. 7 d. in a w.
2. 24 h. in a d.
3. 60 m. in an h.
4. 12 m. in a y.
5. 100 c. in a m.
6. 52 w. in a y.

Jenna is 5 years old and owns Bear A, named Bubble.
Jolika is 4 years old and owns Bear B, named Boodle.
Jessica is 6 years old and owns Bear C, named Bibble.

Here’s how you could figure it out:

From Clue 1
-Jenna must be 5 years old, because this is the only age that is older than one and younger than another. 
-Jenna does not own Bear B, which must be owned by the 4 year old.
-Jenna does not have the bear named Bibble, which must belong to the 6 year old. 
-Bear B is not Bibble, so the 6 year old owns Bibble.
-Jenna must have Bear A or C.

From Clue 2

-The 4 year old is the youngest, and we used clue 1 to know that she owns bear B. Boodle is the bear at B.
-Since Bibble is the 6 year old’s bear (clue 1) and now we have Boodle with the 4 year old, that means Bubble must be Jenna’s bear.

From Clue 3

-Bubble is not Bear C, and we just learned (clue 2) it is Jenna’s, so Jenna must be Bear A. (We already know in clue 1 she cannot be Bear B.)
-Since Boodle is Bear B (clue 2), and Bubble is now Bear A, Bibble can only be Bear C.

From Clue 4
-If Jolika is younger than Jessica, and Jenna is the 5 year old, Jolika can only be the 4 year old, and owns Bear B, named Boodle.
