This for my daughter,who is driving me crazy about this quiz,thanks for youe help,this is how the strory goes. The lady shop keeper is murdrerd,here's the clues

None of the people were in the shop at the same time,The first arrived at 5.00pm and left at 5.30pm,The second was in the shop half as long as the first.The fourth said the shop was empty as he passed at 6 after 6.00pm.The third was in the shop 4 minutes longer than the second,but arrived at 5.45pm,he bought tobacco and leaves.The fifth was seen leaving the shop at 6.30pm,from this information,we can figure the exact minute of the murder.The murder must have snucked in when no one else was around.But what time was that???

OK, here's my attempt :-)

The 1st was in the shop 5.00 to 5.30 (30 mins)
The 2nd (presumably) 5.30 to 5.45 (15 mins)
The 3rd 5.45 to 6.04 (15 mins plus 4 mins)
The 4th passed the empty shop at 6.06
The 5th leaves the shop at 6.30, presumably empty handed because there was no one to serve him, the shopkeeper having been murdered at 6.05 ???

Thanks,but we tried that time,still wrong,we must be missing a time,if you can think about it again?please let me know,and many thanks
I agree with you Vicasso. From the info given the answer you have worked out seems logical .There must be a piece of the story missing if the answer isn't 6.05
