// children's names are Keith, Libby, Margo, Nora, and Otto; last names are Fell,
// Gant, Hall, Ivey, and Jule. Each is a different number of years old, from two 
// to six. Can you find each child's full name and age?

// 1. One child is named Libby Jule.
// 2. Keith is one year older than the Ivey child, who is one year older than Nora.
// 3. The Fell child is three years older than Margo.
// 4. Otto is twice as many years old as the Hall child.
