T = B - 5 ... T = A - 8 ... T = D - 4 ... T = E - 10

B = A - 3 ... B = D + 1 ... B = E - 5 ... B = T + 5

A = D + 4 ... A = E - 2 ... A = B + 3 ... A = T + 8

D = E - 6 ... D = T + 4 ... D = A - 4 ... D = B - 1

E = D + 6 ... E = A + 2 ... E = T + 10 ... E = B + 5

Tri finished 1st

Dale finished 2nd

Beth finished 3rd

Andy finished 4th

Ella finished 5th
