Puzzle 8 


During a recent school trip to the seaside, I sat at the rear of the bus.

I noticed a strange thing: Laura, Jesse and Wendy were all sitting on the left side of the bus.

Even more curious was the fact that Steven, John and Danielle were all sitting on the right side of the bus.

On which side was James sitting?
