Why not this way:
: Tim, who knew Ted's numbers, said "My total now could be 29 minimum or 48
: maximum."
i1 + e1 = 29
i2 + c2 = 48
: Tom, who knew Tim's numbers, said "My total now could be 27 minimum or 72
: maximum."
o1 + i1 = 27
o2 + i2 = 72
:
: Ted, who knew Tom's numbers, said "My total now could be 12 minimum or 62
: maximum".
e1 + o1 = 12
e2 + o2 = 62
Solving those gives:
i1 = 22
i2 = 29*
o1= 05
o2= 43*
e1= 07
e2= 19*
* same as yours
