1.   NO COVER AT SIN: What is that 12 letter word that can be found by rearranging the letters in this jumble/anagram?

2.  Maximum capacity of an elevator is 460 lbs.    If A, B and C go together they'd weigh 115 more than the capacity of the lift and it won't budge. Similarly A, C & D  weigh 70 lbs. more and A, D and E weigh 35 lbs. more the capacity of the lift. Though A, E & F weigh only 425 lbs. the remaining three persons weigh 495. 

 However, A, C and F can go together and then B, D and E can also go together as the weights of those two trios would not exceed the maximum capacity of the lift. 

The difference between the two lowest weights is 50 lbs. Can you find the individual weights of A, B, C, D, E and F?
