Four boys were playing marbles; their names were Gary, Harry, Iggy, and Jack. One of the boys had 9 marbles, another had 15, and each of the other two had 12. Their ages were 3, 10, 17, and 18, but not respectively. Gary shot before Harry and Jack. Jack was older than the boy with 15 marbles. Harry had fewer than 15 marbles. Jack shot before Harry. Iggy shot after Harry. If Iggy was 10 years old, he did not have 15 marbles. Gary and Jack together had an even number of marbles. The youngest boy was not the one with 15 marbles. If Harry had 12 marbles, he wasn?t the youngest. The 10-year-old shot after the 17-year-old. In what order did they shoot, and how old was each boy?
