Teaser 2491: [Sharing sections]
From The Sunday Times, 20th June 2010 [link] [link]
One Sunday, 11 friends — Burchy, Chop, Grubs, Hobnob, Lanky, Mouldy, Ruffan, Shultz, Tufty, Wotfor and Zebedee — shared out The Sunday Times to read. They each got one of the following sections: Appointments, Business, Culture, Home, InGear, Magazine, Money, News Review, Sport, Style and Travel. For each person, the title of their section contained no letter of the alphabet that was also in their name.
Who read each of the sections? (With the sections in the above order, list the initials of their readers).
This puzzle was originally published with no title.
