I could tell you ...
Original premise: Brown, Jones and Smith are a doctor, a lawyer, and a teacher. The teacher, who is an only child, earns the least money. Smith, who married Brown's sister, earns more than the lawyer. What is each man's job?
We know that Brown has a sister, so he cannot be the teacher, so he is either the doctor or the lawyer. Smith makes 'more money than the lawyer', so he is either the teacher or the doctor. We aren't told anything about Jones directly, but as he's the odd man out in both propositions, he's most likely the teacher.
Anyhow, my vote is Brown is the lawyer, Jones is the teacher and Smith is the doctor.
Naw, Sparky ... The teacher is an only child & Smith married Brown's sister. Here's my vote:Brown teacher
Smith doctor
Jones lawyer
