"To put them to the test she concealed the addresses of 130 letters to herself in a series of increasingly complex puzzles and ciphers. Among the disguises she employed were dot-to-dot drawings, anagrams and cartoons. The answer, it seems, was very far indeed. Amazingly, only 10 failed to complete their journey back to her." :Very Happy Well, yes, but she might not realise that we've all got so much spare time for solving these puzzles since mail volumes have dropped so much. :Very Happy :crazy: :Very Happy

After the first few, they might have just worked out the common trend that was leading them back to her every time?

I must confess, i have actually tried this myself to test my postie/postal system. The address i wrote on the envelope (my own, obviously) had missing letters/numbers ala "hangman" that had to be filled...safe to say i never saw it again! To be honest i wouldn't mind a cryptic letter arriving on my walk frame, it would at least take my mind off all the s**t for a little while!

Don't give me that look...what else am i supposed to do with the free stamps we are given at Christmas?! :oops:
