Age Ascertainment V (Posted on 2014-06-23)

A common friend asks Saul and Maisy their respective ages.
They say:

Saul: I am certainly not over 40.
Maisy: I am 38.
Saul: Maisy is at least 39.
Maisy: Saul is at least 5 years older than me.

All the statements by Saul and Maisy are false. How old are they in reality?

(In reply to Decimal Ages by Steve Herman)

If decimal ages are allowed (with two digits of precision),-

..you probably were thinking of fractional, the ages as stated were decimal.

If you have spare time on your hands you may try:

If hexadecimal ages are allowed (with 0 or 2 digits of precision),...etc..
