The first names of six people are hiddenin the sentence below. Can you find them? The letters are in consecutive order.

Was the man an artist of a patron?

[Dracos]

Ana
Pat
Ron
'he-man'!

Hum, that's all I see at the moment.  Oh well.

Dracos

[Ragnar]

Ana
Pat
Ron

I would like to add

Art
Nana (Or possibly just 'Nan')
Eman (Google says it's Arabic)

[Edward]

Heman - an ancient Jewish name
Mana - a Japanese name, one of the characters in the Mermaid series.
Ana
Nan
Nana
Art
Pat
Ron

[Bjorn]

Assuming the names are in sequence, with no repeats, I can find five (or six, depending on how lenient we are):

Ash
Em (short for Emily)
Ann (or Ana)
Art
Pat
Ron

I don't think Em really counts, though, so I'm still short the sixth.

[Rakhal]

The antique dealer bought two glass lampsfor $50 each. She sold one for 20% more than she paid, but was forced to sell the other for 20% less than she paid.

Did she make money or lose money?

[Caliban]

How ambiguous :P. If both lamps were sold at +-20% of the price of each lamp, then she neither made nor lost money. If both lamps were *each* sold for +-20% of the *entire* sum, then she made money.
