Mental Challenge
Exercise your brain with this puzzle that forces you to use your powers of deduction to find the answer.

Adam was going through some old family photos in the attic when he stumbled upon his family tree. He studied it for a couple minutes then went back down stairs to tell his wife about the family tree. The problem is, Adam didn't study it long enough to remember the whole thing. He only remembered a couple of things about it, as well as recent memories.

Can you help Adam figure out his family tree?

Clues: There are two grandparents who had two children, who both got married and had 2 more children each, for a total of 10 people (Alex, David, Jamie, Jessica, John, Justin, Lincoln, Martha, Mary and Tina).

1. One of Jamie's ancestors was David.

2. John's sister gave birth to Tina.

3. Mary went bowling with her nephew last Saturday.

4. Alex is cousins with one of the girls.

5. Justin married Mary.

6. Jessica is not an ancestor, nor cousin of Tina.

7. Lincoln's brother showed Justin's son his baseball cards.
