Your father-in-law's daughter is your wife, and her daughter's mother-in-law is your mother. Therefore, Jim met his mother.
Philip is sitting next to sally, but next to Gerald. That means if Philip will not sit next to Gerald, Gerald is sitting next to Sally. Also, if Gerald will not sit next to John, John is sitting next to Philip.
We can re-label the boxes by taking one sock out of each box. For example, we can take a red sock out of the box of red socks, and a green sock out of the green sock box. The conditions didn't say each box.
Let's break twelve thousand twelve hundred twelve into pieces and add them together:
12,000
12,00
12
13,212
