Public Talk Assignments

    Help young brother B. Fuddled as he assists his PO, bro. X. Tended, in his congregational duties. Bro.Tended had to leave town to attend a meeting of the Regional Building Committee and he assigned B. Fuddled to make some public talk arrangements. The PO did not have time to sort out some notes that he had taken, so he just gave B. those scraps of paper and asked him to sort them out.
    Now, it just so happens that five brothers had been invited out on the same weekend, to speak at five congregations that met at the same Kingdom Hall. The meeting times were 9:00 am, 11:30 am, 2:00 pm, 4:30 pm and 7:00 pm.(Just recently the congregation had switched around their meeting times so that all could take turns having late and early
    meetings.)
    Can you help brother B. Fuddled sort out which speakers go to which congregations and at what times, to give which outlines?
    The brothers giving talks out are named Aaron, Barnabas, Cornelius, Daniels and Elihu. The talk numbers that were requested were 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. They'll be giving talks at the Fair Havens, Green Hills, Harbor View, Itchykoo Park, and Jungle Terrace congregations. Coincidentally, the POs of those 5 congregations, brothers Kish, Laban, Mordecai, Nathaniel and Othniel,will all be serving as hosts for the visiting speakers.
    Here are the notes that Bro. Fuddled had to work with...
    1.Remind Br. Daniels that his talk and the meeting time are the same number; he'll want to hang around a while to see his sister who recently married Br. Othniel.
    2.Br.Kish thought that talk #1 would be perfect for his cong which was not used to meeting so late in the day.
    3.At the beginning of the year Harbor View's meeting was switched to 7 1/2 hours later than before; elderly Br. Nathaniel couldn't meet so late, so he switched to Green Hills to keep his old meeting time.
    4. Bro. Barnabas is giving talk #7 for the first time, though his host, Br. Mordecai, has given it dozens of times.
    5.Br. Elihu who works a 9 to 5 shift on the weekends, didn't have much time to spare to get to the Fair Havens congregation.
    6.Bro. Laban got to his meeting early just so he could catch Bro Aaron, whom he hadn't seen since Pioneer School, before he left.
    7. Bro Cornelius thinks he's already given talk #5 at Itchykoo Park, but it was actually at Jungle Terrace, which meets right before.

    I like the names, esp 'Bro Fuddled'. Reminds me of the 'Bro Worldly', 'Bro Sports' types etc...that we heard at assemblies.
    We had an elderly brother in our hall who would mis-pronounce names and not realise it. The introduction to the WatchTower study by 'Brother Mental' instead of Brother Melton was particular hit.
