What do Nicholas Stern and Peter Brent have in common with me?

    A five-letter surname containing e,r and n. Astounding!

  2. Nicholas Gruen

    I hadn't thought of that - but it's not what I had in mind.

    Is this a guessing game, or is it a proper puzzle, with the linked pages containing the clues? If the latter, I'll work on it, but only if you promise not to put up the answer within a week (unlike last time, which I'm still bitter about).

  4. Nicholas Gruen

    James,

    The links are just there for ID's sake. And if you want me not to answer for a week I'm happy to do so. Sorry about the chess puzzle - I thought people wanted the answer up and were getting bored and crotchety.

    OK, I finally got around to it. Assuming that Bern Brent is Peter's father, you are all sons of Dunera boys.

    I didn't know Stern had an Australian connection. Did know about Stern senior and his distinguished son before the latter came to fame with his report?

    Yep - too right. How do you know of Bern?

    I think Max Corden told me that Nicholas Stern was a second generation Dunera Boy (Max isn't a Dunera Boy by the way).

    I googled 'Brent Dunera'!
