WHO WAS ELIZA?
Smith, Brown, and Robinson have provided themselves with a penny pencil each, and they take their wives to a stockbroker’s office to buy shares. Mary bought 50 more shares than Brown, and Robinson 120 more than Jane. Each man paid as many shillings per share as he bought shares, and each wife as many pence per share as she bought shares, and every man spent one guinea more than his wife. What was Eliza’s surname? -(Problem from R.C.J.M., who has the answer, but does not know how to get it).
