Humor me. Play a little game. Give me a single digit number (0-9)

Tim

Ian

I have one more

Emma

these are coworkers, not relatives

Crystal

Kelley

To summarize the thread thus far, we have:

surnames

Cooley
Harris
Benfield
Foster
Ellender

first names

Dennis
Glenn
Tim
Ian
Emma
Crystal
Kelley

Please continue to supply surnames from the reverse phone lookup in your area code for phone numbers with these digits (in order):

4 6 1(or 2) 7 9 4 8 5 0

working left to right, 7 digits at a whack, until you find a surname/phone number match.

Then look over the surnames list and supply the first name match to one (or more) of your non-relative acquaintances with that surname.

Then look over the surnames and first names lists and see if you can match one of your relatives’ first and last names.

If you can make such a match, post the nature of the relationship to that relative. Don’t supply the relative’s NAME.

Yes! Of course this is an honor system game! But I think it would be terrific if this random process actually worked.

Carry on. And thanks for playing!

I have an uncle with one of those first names.

Okay! But for this thing to work right, we’re going to need matches (for the same relative) from both lists. That work for you yet?

Last name: Martinez

Oh, I didn’t realize we were trying for both. No, I don’t have any relatives at all with any of those last names.
