Hi all,
I'm confused about the problem statement in the English version of The Road from Bethlehem
My Question:
The English text uses both "Mary" and "Maria":
1st paragraph: "he, his wife Mary and the baby Jesus must flee"
2nd paragraph: "Maria and Joseph start in Bethlehem (B on the map)"
5th paragraph: "Joseph and Mary arrive safely in Egypt"
Are Mary and Maria the same person (just translation variation), or are they two different people?
If they're different people:
I want to make sure I'm understanding the problem correctly before attempting to solve it. Can someone clarify?
Thanks!

If they're different people:
- Does Maria start from B but encounter checkpoints?
- Does Mary start from somewhere else and reach Egypt safely?
- Or if they're the same person, is this just a translation inconsistency and I should treat them as one couple starting from B who reaches Egypt safely?
I want to make sure I'm understanding the problem correctly before attempting to solve it. Can someone clarify?
Thanks!
