Exercise 2.6.1

On a certain surgical team the positions of surgeon, nurse, and tech are held by Allen, Brown, and Carr, not necessarily in that order. The nurse, who was an only child, earns the least. Carr, who married Brown's sister, earns more than the surgeon. What position does each person hold?

For puzzles like this, draw a grid and put 'N' or 'Y' in each box as you figure them out. In this puzzle, your grid should look like this:

	Allen	Brown	Carr
Nurse
Tech
Surgeon			N

I've started to fill in the grid for you. Here's my reasoning: Since Carr earns more than the surgeon, Carr is not the surgeon.
