IN an inebriated state I tried to address two letters to each of five friends. I have listed my efforts below. Each envelope has four items: a first name, a surname, a house name and the town. All the correct items occurred somewhere on the ten envelopes. But on each envelope the four items which I wrote all turned out to be from different people.

1: David Davis, Rose Cottage, Ely

2: Brian Clark, The Meadow, Carlisle

3: Ed. Andrews, Riverside, Bradford

4: Alan Eyres, Waters’ Edge, Altrincham

5: Ed. Clark, Belle View, Carlisle

6: David Andrews, Waters’ Edge, Ely

7: Clive Brown, Belle View, Doncaster

8: Brian Eyres, Riverside, Doncaster

9: Clive Clark, Riverside, Ely

10: Ed. Davis, Rose Cottage, Carlisle.

What is Brian’s name and address?
