Have fun:

Art, Ben, Cam, Dan and Ern each added a different kind of room to his house.
Each added room can have a width of 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 feet,
and a length (not necessarily respectively) of 15, 16, 17, 18 or 19 feet.
From the clues below, determine the kind of room each man added as well
as the width and length of each room.

1: The room Art added is not the shortest, but is shorter than at least one other room.

2: Ben's room is one foot longer than the WORKSHOP; the WORKSHOP is not the widest room,
but is shorter than at least one other room.

3: The STUDY is shorter than at least two other rooms, but not as wide as Cam's room.

4: Dan's room is not the shortest, and is wider than the UTILITY room.

5: Ern's room is longer than the length of the widest room,
and shorter than at least one other room.

6: The DEN is 11 feet wide.

7: At least two rooms are shorter than the BEDROOM.
