There is a clock-face where the numbers have become all mixed up. Can you find out where all the numbers have got to from the ten statements below? Here is a clock-face with letters to mark the position of the numbers so that the statements are easier to read and to follow.
- No even number is between two odd numbers.
- No consecutive numbers are next to each other.
- The numbers on the vertical axis (a) and (g) add to 13.
- The numbers on the horizontal axis (d) and (j) also add to 13.
- The first set of 6 numbers [(a) - (f)] add to the same total as the second set of 6 numbers [(g) - (l)] .
- The number at position (f) is in the correct position on the clock-face.
- The number at position (d) is double the number at position (h).
- There is a difference of 6 between the number at position (g) and the number preceding it (f).
- The number at position (l) is twice the top number (a), one third of the number at position (d) and half of the number at position (e).
- The number at position (d) is 4 times one of the numbers adjacent (next) to it.

Well done to Olivia for having a go.
This was the solution: A = 2, B = 9, C = 3, D = 12, E = 8, F = 5, G = 11, H = 6 , I = 10 , J = 1, K = 7, L = 4
