Thirteen at Dinner
by Andrew Bradburn
ANSWER: HURT
The names on the list are the surnames of actors / actresses from movies and TV shows with numbers in their titles, like the title of the puzzle. In fact, the numbers within the titles refer to a specific person or group of people from that movie or TV show.
Seating them alphabetically by surname clockwise around the tables so that each group starts at a big chair gives the following seating:
Four Brothers
|
My Two Dads
|
Henry VIII and his Six Wives
|
Mickey One
|
The Three Musketeers
|
Party of Five
|
Starting at the big chair on top and proceeding clockwise around each table, the numbers can be used as indexes into the surnames and spell the sets: IDENT / ILLIAM / OURIST / ACTORW / FROMACC / ALT. Arranging these in numerical order by the group at the head of the table spells ACTOR WILLIAM FROM ACCIDENTAL TOURIST, which leads to the answer HURT.
