Canoe Capers

Racers:• Abby, Ben, Craig, Danny, Jim,

Who were the two people in each canoe? What was the position of each canoe in the race?

Hint #1

• Abby = A • Ben = B • Craig = C • Danny = D • Jim = J

• Lindsay = L • Mindy = M • Nicole = N • Paul = P• Rob = R

HINT

Hint #2

• There were 2 pairs of boys• There was just 1 pair of girls • (We need 2 more girls & 2 more

boys)• Abby was with Rob's brother
