I don’t know who these people are. But if you think of the last name of a famous person with the first name shown, and the first name of a famous person with the last name shown, the result will be the name of a U. S. president . . . if you think of the correct famous people. (In our solution, there are no duplicate first or last names, but one first name is the nickname of another.)
Example:
| Blind Lemon Edison |
Blind Lemon Jefferson yields the last name Jefferson, while Thomas Edison yields the first name Thomas, giving us the name Jefferson, Thomas. |
