Brickyarders Puzzle (http://primepuzzle.com/tpf/brickyarders-puzzle.html)

  

Note: Even if you don't know Tracy, Lee, Chemistry, a thing about
Brickyarders or their blog, if you're online and use the links provided
you should be able to nail this. Being a runner helps a bit with the
Roger Bannister question. It happened in 1954 so that might be way
before your time. There's always Google ... Oh, did I mention, you'll
hear an awesome audio clip and see an awesome video clip if you manage
to solve it?



This is *not* a crossword / "crossnumber" puzzle. You simply have to
figure out the 5 single-digit numbers that go in the boxes.

                 +------+
                 |2     |
                 |      |
                 |      |
          +------+------+------+
          |1     |3     |4     |
          |      |      |      |
          |      |      |      |
          +------+------+------+
                 |5     |
                 |      |
                 |      |
                 +------+

1 The most significant digit (ie. leftmost digit) of Tracy's current age.
This puzzle was created in the year 2011, in case you do this puzzle
at some date in the future.

2 The number of minutes Roger Bannister broke when running the mile.

3 1 less than the number of bricks in our blog's logo.

4 1 less than the high-order digit of Lee's age. See remark for clue 1.

5 The atomic number of C. I know, this has nothing to do w/ running. Nor
w/ a computer programming language. But I digress.
