oh yay :) i agree too, although i listed mine as Nadal John, Federer Bjorn, and Agassi Tim... I thought Surname meant last?
ReplyDeleteSorry about that Ashlee, I did mean for the last names to be Nadal, Federer and Agassi.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite a mind-boggling riddle I must say. If you are sleepy and already starting to doze off, then this question would really perk you up. I agree with the answers given above and I think the hint that gave it away is the plumber being 30 years old. Great carefully-thought of question by the way. It takes a smartie to write a smart question and a smart aleck to solve it.
