Frank!

Glad you got my message! Here's another puzzle for all you Mensas out there:

House Party

Mortimer, Waldo, Basil, Spike and Molly all live in separate houses in Cucumberland. I happened to come across them in the town square recently, and tried to get the current house number of each to keep my little black book current. None would tell me outright their house number, but:

Spike said that the number of his house was 3 times the number of Waldo's.
Mortimer said that his number was odd and 23 more than Molly's.
Waldo said that his number was 9 less than Mortimer's.
Basil said that his number was halfway between Waldo's and Spike's.

Using the fact that the houses in Cucumberland are numbered from 1 to 50, what number was each person's house?
