Prof. Templeton Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Prof. Templeton wrote a very touching letter to his sweetheart. He was in quite a hurry that day so he wrote Wood S Carrie Mass on the envelope and dropped it in the mail. Strangely enough it was delivered to the correct address. What is the full proper address of his sweetheart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prof. Templeton Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 P.O. Box 8639 Emeryville, CA 94662-0639 ?????? Sorry, no it's not correct. The address is somewhere in Massachusetts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Maybe Templeton, Massachusetts - Because they took the senders name to be the city? Or Maybe Reading, Massachusetts – Because that’s what I’m doing? Wow, This is difficult! Good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 How about a hint or 2? I think you have people stumped. Does the S next to Wood have something to do with the city or street? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Prof. Templeton Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 How about a hint or 2? I think you have people stumped. Does the S next to Wood have something to do with the city or street? The "S" has to do with the street. The city can be found much like the last name was found.

0 Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) So, it wasn't one of the 2 cities I thought of (in post #29)? Imagine that. Maybe this will help somebody, It's not helping me. I'm kinda lost. http://massachusetts.hometownlocator.com/cities/ EDIT: Clarification Edited September 10, 2008 by Alyanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I know everyone forgot about this one, but it's been driving me crazy. Can we please figure out what the S is for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Um, well, I'm taking a stab at it... 1st street? Since S is on the first line or S is the first letter of "street"? I have no idea how to get the street number, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how to get the street number, though. Maybe it's the 19-th street because 'S' is the 19-th letter of the alphabet. Man, those postal workers are smart!!!

What is the letter S's relation to the word street, beside just being the first letter. I can't say much more without giving it away.

0 Guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Both a name and number can be derived from the single letter S how many letters are in the word street? 5th street? Since there are 5 letters in the word street and a 5 looks like an S anyways... But when you say a full address, do you mean like house number, cross street, city, state?

0 Prof. Templeton Posted September 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 So putting it all together. The original address was... Wood S Carrie Mass The Professor obviously knew that there was a genius working at the postoffice who would decipher the cryptic address and put on the correct one. Which is... Carrie Underwood 1 sixth street Andover, MA 01810 Good job, everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
