The following puzzle, known as the Smith-Jones-Robinson Classic, is a 
lively test of reasoning power.  It is reported that, in one group of
240 
people trying it, only six came up with the solution.  But there is no 
"catch" in it, and the answer has been worked out by many persons in
five 
to ten minutes. *EVERY FACT* is important, and must be considered.

WHO IS THE ENGINEER?
On a train, Smith, Robinson and Jones are the fireman, brakeman, and 
engineer, but NOT respectively. Also aboard the train are three
businessmen 
who have the same names: a Mr. Smith, a Mr. Robinson, and a Mr. Jones.

1.  Mr. Robinson lives in Detroit
2.  The brakeman lives exactly half way between Chicago and Detroit.     
3.  Mr. Jones earns exactly $20,000 per year.
4.  The brakeman's nearest neighbor, one of the passengers, earns
exactly 
three times as much as the brakeman.
5.  Smith beats the fireman at billiards.
6.  The passenger whose name is the same as the brakeman's lives in 
Chicago.
