Five Friends (Posted on 2014-05-19) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Five friends Andy, Brice, Cal, Danny, and Ethan make the following statements each others' ages.

Andy’s statement:
Ethan is 27.

Brice’s statement:
I am 81.

Cal’s statement:
Brice is 61.

Danny’s statements:
1. Andy is 57.
2. What Cal says is false.

Ethan’s statements:
1. Brice is older than Andy.
2. Danny is 30 years younger than Cal.

It is known that:
  • None of the friends is younger than 10 or older than 99.
  • Remarks made by anyone 50 or older are true, unless his age is a perfect square.
  • Remarks made by anyone who is under 50 are false, unless his age is a perfect cube.
Determine the age of each of the five friends.
