The Mystery of the Top Five
Every month, Victor Timm's Mystery Magazine conducts a survey of its readers to determine their most popular mystery writers. The list is ordered from one to five from favorite (1) to least liked (5). The same five writers, including Brand, made the list this month as last month, but each was in a different position. For instance, Christie rose in this month's rankings from last month. If you add together the digits of the positions from last month and this month, then the sum for Armstrong is seven, Christie's is eight, Doyle's is six, and Edwards' is five.
From the information above, can you determine the positions of the top five mystery writers for both months?
You might want to start with Christie.
