Claire Agard, deceased at the age of ninety-seven, has left a will dedicating her sizable fortune to her niece, to her nephew, and to Johnny, her faithful assistant for the past twenty years.
Unfortunately, she employed the services of one of the most unorganized solicitors in town, who lost the will and evoked the anger of just about every family member benefited by it (namely Johnny's wife, the niece's sons, and the nephew's already angry creditors).
However, the young solicitor was flattered to be employed by the richest woman in the small town, so he took notes. It was simply too interesting for him to resist.
Can you find out what each person's last name is, who received what amount of money, and who inherited what portion of her widespread real estate?
First Names: Kara, Johnny, Reginald
Last Names: Jennings, Ouna, Simpkins
Monetary amounts: $2 million, $6 million, $800,000
Real Estate portions: The Cabin, The Tudor, The Georgian
Clues:
1. The heirs are: Kara, the person surnamed Ouna, and the person who inherited The Georgian.
2. Johnny's last name is not Jennings. Kara's last name is not Ouna.
3.Reginald has deep gambling debts, but his aunt was unsympathetic and gave him the least amount of money. He had had his eye on a piece of old, English-style property, though, and that she gave to him.
4. Kara's last name is 25 letters away from her piece of real estate.
5. Both of Johnny's initials are in the word 'Joker'.
6. Reginald has often been subject to ridicule because of his last name.
7. Ouna got 2 million, and a first-class backwoods lodge.
8. The person who inherited 6 million also got a Tudor, and they were very excited to find that Claire had installed a swimming pool...party time!!!
Good luck! (By the way, Kara has ensured a reward of $60,000 to the first to solve...)
