Re: criss cross

If you've crossed out every second letter, how did you get from 'Tommy' to 'omy'?

Wouldn't be 'om' or 'Tmy' instead?

Re: criss cross

I agree with justlooking. If you cross out letters starting with the first one, then you'd go from Tommy to om. If you started crossing out at the second one then you'd get Tmy.

I'm not sure what your last name could be, but I know that it fits McGa?g?e?.


Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: criss cross

McCague? I’ve heard of a bowler called Martin McCague who used to play for Kent.

Re: criss cross

As a random guess I pick McGaughen, because you said your second name is 'strange'.

Jane, it could be McCague, but that doesn't fit the pattern ...
