Puzzle 109 


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

I noticed a strange thing: Ann, Kevin, Matilda, and Nathaniel were all sitting on the left side of the bus.

Even more curious was the fact that Jack, Amelia, Isabella, and Maximilian were all sitting on the right side of the bus.

On which side was James sitting?
