    Paula and 4 other customers buy one book each month. From this information can you determine the full names of the five customers, the category of book each bought last month and how many pages it contains. The last names are Addison, Ebner, Hertz, Schell and Truman. The first names are Burt, John, Mark, Norma, and Paula. The number of pages were 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000.
    The categories were biography, romance, science fiction, thriller and western.

    1. The science fiction has the most number of pages

    2. The biography has 400 pages.

    3. The book John bought has 200 pages fewer than the one Truman bought, which has 200 fewer pages than the thriller.

    4. The western, which John didn't buy, has fewer pages than the book Schell bought.

    5. The book Mark bought has 200 fewer pages than the one Hertz bought but more pages than the one Norma bought.
