Your task, of course, is simply to give the year of birth for each person -- or, equivalently, to put them in order by date of birth. I will accept answers in either of two formats, corresponding to those two formulations of the question. First, you may answer this the same way you would a QFTCI or similar contest: quote the names, or some of them, in the order given here, and put one of the possible years on the line below any or all of them. (I assume everyone is capable of generating the list of possible years without my help!) Your other choice is to take the *complete* list and *rearrange it* into chronological order, *earliest to latest born*. Then post it that way (retaining the "question numbers" along with the names). For further details and examples see the original contest posting. -- Mark Brader, Toronto "Tools, not solutions. :-)" msb@vex.net -- Henry Spencer |
