Okay. This is a stretch, but if anything it's a neat fact. Last October, the month started on Sunday. This coming June starts on a Friday. Unfortuately, this doesn't prove the uniqueness of the answer so I still need to think... If I'm going down the wrong path, please correct me.

Okay. Umm... Mr. Robinson's the guy that they said lives in Detroit. The brakeman's nearest neighbor gets paid three times as much as the brakeman. Mr. Smith has to be the nearest neighbor, since neither Mr. Robinson nor Mr. Jones can be. The guy who shares the same name as the brakeman lives in Chicago. We already know that Mr. Robinson lives in Detroit, and that Mr. Smith lives between Chicago and Detroit. So, Mr. Jones must live in Detroit since he's the only one left over. Mr. Smith isn't the brakeman or the fireman, so he's the engineer.
Is... that right?

That's interesting, but wrong. The trick is not in the actual meaning of the words, but in the words themselves. I'll give you one more guess before I tell you.

Omg, I was actually right?! Where's Mike at a time like this? xd
Okay, now here's a riddle I heard-- it's one of those "What Am I" riddles. It'll probably be easy for you though.
-I am not alive.
-I have two bodies.
-I run faster when I am standing still.
EDIT: HAPPY NOT-QUITE-BIRTHDAY YET, ANYA!

Lol, here's another stretch. I'm taking the first letters of each
October, Sunday, Letters in between: PQR
Friday, June, Letters in between: GHI
Each share: 3 letters
Difference between months: 4
Difference between days: 5
3,4,5 is the first Pythagorean triple.
This is totally not the right answer, but OMG it was cool to find.
As you can see, I think way too much.

The answear is this. None of the letters that spell Friday can be found in June, every other month has at least one letter from Friday. The same goes for Sunday and October. These are the only two days because every other day of the week has at least one letter that can be found in every month.
This riddle has me thinking...hmmm...I was sure it was river. What could it be? A hint maybe sweatdrop
