| When the country rock group Fillmore Dirigible flew to Los Angeles last month
for an appearance on "The Tonight Show," the band's seven members arranged to
sit in their lucky row 13 on the flight west. The airplane on which they
flew has a 2-3-2 seating arrangement, with two seats on each wing across
an aisle from three seats in the middle; the seats are numbered 13A through
13G from left to right facing the cockpit. Given the flight plan below, can
you decide the full name of each Fillmore Dirigible member (last names are
Collins, Mercury, Petty, Rose, Springsteen, Tyler, and Van Halen), his role
in the band (one plays keyboards), and in which seat he sat on the
flight? (Note: "next to" and "adjacent" mean with no other seat or aisle
between them; "across the aisle" means in seats immediately next to the
same aisle.)
- Slash and Flea, who sat next to each other on the flight, passed the
time in the air by playing games on their Gameboys.
- The lead and bass guitar players sat in seats next to each other.
- Tyler and the saxophone player were in adjacent seats on the flight west.
