Changelings kidnap children and replace them with one of their own. Great care must be taken when choosing a child to switch places with. The changeling must watch the child and be able to mimic the personality and history of the child, including any talents or abilities of the child. In the past century, five children, three boys (Brian, Henry, and Oscar) and two girls (Ruth and Tess) have been kidnapped by changelings. Can you determine the last name and talents of each child, the changeling who switched places with them, and the age at which they were taken?

Fun ,challenging and interesting puzzle.
Good job! It was very entertaining. Not too hard, but not too easy. You actually have to think a bit to get this one.
OUCH!!! My brain hurts!
Good one! Hard yet solveable, my favorite kind of teaser
Great Job! Hard enough that you weren't just giving things away, and yet not all that hard. Keep it up!
Perfect teaser. I have no idea why its Fun Rating is so low... Keep up the good work!
I loved it! I had to use over half of the grid to solve it!
Loved it, but I'm no good at these...
I'm confused--are the changelings the kidnappers or the children that replace the other children? OH well--still a great teaser!!!

I didn't get this last time. I got it today - after about 2 hours!
hard but fun
Loved the teaser, but did anybody else have trouble loading the grid? It was all messed up for me. I'm on an old laptop though. Anyway, thanks for the fun puzzle!
I also had a mangled grid, and I had to make up another one with Excel to complete it, it didn't have the bells and whistles of Braingle, but it worked.
