find current and previous profession...
Messrs Butcher, Baker, Carpenter and Plumber are currently attending an annual convention. No-one is currently, nor ever has been in the same profession as their name and no-one has had the same profession twice. Charlie has never been a carpenter and Mr Butcher is now a plumber. Dave used to be a butcher, whereas Mr Brian Baker never has. Mr Plumber is not called Eddie and Mr Carpenter did not used to be a butcher. Can you determine the full names of each of the attendees, along with their current and previous profession?

Click which forum you want to add new thread
(Don't click the thread. Click main or sub forums like Brainteasers, Networking...).
Now click the "Ask" button on top and then type your post and click "submit" button on the bottom.
For example, the following link for Brainteaser forum..

If u ve still probs in getting., can u plz tell as to where u got confused??
Re: find current and previous profession...
Raju, every person have a name with profession...it means mr brain baker means mr brain was his name and baker was main profession...so mr brain baker never has a profession "baker"....look at barbie's reply....every person have profession with their name and then have current and previous profession...
I think you got my point....if you have doubt then post here...

Every persons last name is also a profession. you should mentioned that too along with their first name.
you have to find out their name and then their present and previous profession.

But charlie has never been a carpenter.Will that imply that his name can contain the profession of a carpenter??
Re: find current and previous profession...
Nothing to do with the name.
It means he is never been a carpenter by profession.
