A Michael Jacobs 23

B Ruth Jackson 24

C Rebecca Jackson 24

D Simon Jones 22

E Josie Jones 22

F Greg Jacobs 23

Rebecca is at C and her sister is at B and they live at house 24 (clue 1).

Michael is at A and doesn't live at house 22 (3) or 24 (1), so 23. Josie

is standing next to her brother so is at E (clue 2). Ruth is Rebecca's

sister and is at B and (4) their surname is Jackson. Greg is at F (6).

By elimination, Simon is at D. He doesn't live at number 23 (5), or 24

(1), so 22. He isn't Greg's brother (2), so Josie's. By elimination, Greg

lives at number 23. Michael's surname isn't Jones (3), so he and his

brother Greg have the surname, Jacobs. By elimination, Simon and

Josie have the surname, Jones.

The Solution . . . Take a piece of fruit from the "apples and oranges" crate. If it's an apple then you know that is the "apples" crate since ALL THE CRATES ARE LABLED INCORRECTLY. This means the crate marked "apples" must be "oranges" and the crate marked "oranges" must be "apples and oranges".

There will be ample space for the kids, so bring something to share for lunch, your favourite resources, and a friend interested in homeschooling.

We will run a question and answers session.  Put your questions in a hat, and we'll see if anyone has an answer for you!
