Logic Problem #17: New Age Nuts |
 |
|
Four people working in the financial world suddenly become ageing hippies as the result of a mid life crisis. From the clues below, work out what each person’s job used to be, where they had their life changing experience, what their new names are and where they are living now.
Anal Abel, who does not live on a boat in Birmingham, had his life changing experience whilst doing a parachute jump. Bartering Bobby used to be a Tax Inspector. He hasn’t changed his name to Moonbeam and isn’t the person who lives in a wigwam in Wantage.
Cashflow Carrie changed her name to Stargazer; she is not the ex merchant banker who now lives in a tree in Tamworth. It was whilst running the London Marathon that Rigid Bridget realised that something was missing from her life. She is not the accountant who lives in a caravan in Cardiff, nor is she the stockbroker who changed his name to Freebird.
The accountant finally saw the light during a boring management seminar.
