When Jerry moved into his first apartment a few months ago, he received many generous housewarming gifts from his friends and family, including five new kitchen appliances. Unsurprisingly, in this multimedia age, each appliance came with an instructional video, but it wasn't until last week Jerry finally found time in his hectic schedule to set aside a different weekday to watch each tape. Each video is under an hour long (no two are the same length - 15,25,30,45 or 50 minutes), but even so, Jerry had difficulty staying awake during each, with the result that he had to view each video a different number of times (8,10,13,15 or 18) before he really understood how to operate that appliance. From the information provided, determine the weekday on which Jerry watched the video for each appliance, as well as that video's length and the number of times Jerry watched it.
1. Jerry watched the Microwave video the day before the one he viewed 10 times, which he watched the day before the video that is exactly 20 minutes longer than the one that came with the juicer.
2. The microwave video is exactly 3/5 as long as the one Jerry watched on Wednesday.
3. Three videos Jerry watched on consecutive days are , in order, the 25-minute one, the one he viewed exactly 5 more times than the hand-mixer video, and the coffeepot video.
4. Jerry replayed the video he watched on Friday more times than he replayed the toaster video, Jerry didn't watch the 30-minute long video 8 or 13 times. Jerry didn't view the hand-mixer video on Monday.
