Five...Running Ten (Posted on 2025-03-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
There were five runners in this year's Waterfront 10, a ten-mile "out-and-back" race, with a turn-around at the halfway point. Each runner ran their whole race at a constant speed.

Annie reached the 3-mile mark 6 min after the winner, but before at least 1 other runner.

Ben got to the turnaround a full 7 minutes after the third-place runner did.

Carla ran each of the 10 miles of the race in 12 seconds less than 8 minutes.

Dan passed the winner 42 min into the race, then at least 1 other runner before turning around.

Emo had run 5 5/9 miles when he passed the last runner, and had met runners in both directions already.

What was the order of finish, and what was each runner's total ten-mile time, in minutes?

Show your steps and reasoning.
