    solution:

    Let the number be ABCDE

    >>The second digit is three times the fourth digit<<

    So D is 1,2, or 3 and B is 3,6 or 9.

    The number is A3C1E, A6C2E, or A9C3E

    >>The second digit is ... five more than the fifth digit.<<

    That rules out 3 for B, so B is 6 or 9, and D is 2 or 3.

    It also tells us that E is 1 or 4, so that B can be 5 more than it.

    So the number is A6C21 or A9C34

    >>The third digit is ... twice the fourth digit<<

    So C is twice D, which is 2 or 3. So C is 4 or 6

    So the number is A6421 or A9634

    >>The third digit is one-half the first digit

    So C is 4 because 6 is too large to be half a digit. And so

    A has to be 8 so that C=4 can be half of it.

    So the number is 86421.
