TEN
TIMES A MINUTE
by Todd Radford
Solution: OTOWN
Each
of the sets of letters is an interlock of the names of the members of
a
boy band, with one letter missing.
For example:
ahknojibriceavwineik
a j - aj
h
o wi e - howie
k e v
i - kevi(n)
n
i c k - nick
bri a n - brian
being
the names of the Backstreet Boys with a missing letter "N"
Similarly:
bmceharparinkstuian
- ben mark pau(l) christian - A1
chmastrirksiean - chris(t)ian mark ste -
bbmak
jaredbustetaiven - justin abe (b)ret dave - Jericho Road
jdcomerquickhgrtedyy

jdonrjjdoondatehaynannyannie -
jonathan joey j(o)rdan donnie danny - NKOTB

lance jc justin chris - NSync
jgasamahorrorwbarbieokyn - jason gary
howar(d) mark robbie - Take That
jsimpemikeye - jimmy spike (l)ee -
911
jthkoeantenaayjweouohywonukn - jaewon kan(g)ta heejun tony woohyuk

- tony alfred deli(o)us jamie - all 4 one
tdarevkevoird - trevor david
ke(n) - soulDecision
washmiannachytawanelan - wanya shawn michael nat(h)an

Ordering the missing letters by band name, we
get:
ALLORNOTHINGBOYBAND, which obviously yields the answer OTOWN.
