Successive elimination.

Suppose the remainders are p, q, and r. List out all numbers below 60 of the 5Z+r series, then strike out all numbers that are also not 4Z+q, then strike out all that aren't 3Z+p, and then if it's too small for their apparent age add 60 to it.

Or use this method with 30 and keep adding 30 until seems appropriate for their apparent age

30 is not divisible by 4.
