   for passengers under 16 years.

 ? Indicates a word or letters that could not be read. 

Reviewer's Note:
 
All passengers have numbers, such as 5-624 or 5-1627, written in the language coloumn. 
This means that they were tested for their reading ability. The first number represents a 
number for a certain language, the other numbers are a number for a certain sentence.
