WHO IS GOING TO BARKER STREET ?
Five cabbies have been summoned to pick up five fares at the Belaire Athletic Club. On arrival, they find that their passengers are slightly confused as a result of a 5 way collision playing basketball. Each man has a different first and last name, a different profession, a different destination, and each man’s wife has a different first name. Unable to determine who’s who and who’s going where, the cabbies ask you, the central dispatcher, to find out:
