Jack drove his car from X to Y, a distance of 85 miles.
Call the 5 tires A B C D E (including the spare).
For the last 21 miles, the car was towed, 2 front wheels off ground.
Each tire was used as spare ONCE during first 64 miles.
To add to your pleasure, there was an instance where from one tire
change to the next, Jack drove heading back toward X.
A travelled 20 more than B and 5 less than C.
C travelled 9 more than D and 11 more than E.
The distances between tire changes were all below 25.
Which 2 tires were travelling during the towing,
and what distance did each tire travel?
All distances are integers, of course!
