Nooooo: given condition is "r ≥ s ≥ t ≥ u ≥ 0

I originally goofed and used 9 as maximum...
there are 7 solutions:
9+7+5+2 = 23 : my only original solution (I'll go stand in the corner...)
10+5+4+3 = 22
10+8+4+1 = 23
11+6+3+2 = 22
11+6+5+1 = 23
12+7+2+1 = 22
13+5+3+1 = 22

So max = 23 and min = 22
The site tries to be nice to the junior members for their mistakes, so you can sit in the corner. You can even have Khan's coffee. (see, I can be nice)

Ahhhhhhh....the advantages of only 100 or so posts!!
 
....but I was correct if 0 not allowed!
≥0 is misleading: should be >=0 :p
