eyecue Dec 16, 2004	Cool teaser, but I wish your answered would have been a little more detailed, possibly explaining why they all work out that way.
anotherMe Dec 18, 2004	Good one! takes a little time to solve but is not hard at all.
Skybet Dec 18, 2004	Weird how they ALL have different surnames to their fathers
peanut Dec 20, 2004	Dude, those are double-barrel names, not surnames! Without having the same surnames as their dads, one could not get the answer as you use the clue of 'Elizabeth JOHNSON'...
joediggity Jan 08, 2005	Once you go through the basics Carla has to be either Bruckner or Thompson. Carla can't be a Bruckner because Mr. B's plane is the MaryLynn and mr. Christopher's daughters name is not Marylynn. After you figure this out, it is easy.
Rebel Jan 09, 2005	I had to write down the pilot's plane names and daughters names first. Then, I figured out who Lord Christopher's daughter is. After that I knew the answer.
