trikster Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 My friend approached me the other day with a riddle. He said that if I solved it correctly, he'd give me $10. Obviously I was interested, so I agreed to partake in this challenge. Here are the clues he gave me: 1. You must figure out the letters of a 12 character string. 2. The string forms the name of a store. 3. In the middle of the string is a mailing indicator used in postal mail. 4. The string has no spaces. Later, he revealed to me that the mailing indicator was zipcode. So basically I'm looking for the name of a store that's 12 letters long and has the word zipcode in the middle. Any ideas?

Hum Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 :o There are no businesses with 'zipcode' in the middle. Did he mean a particular zipcode, like 90210 ? And a 'character string' can contain letters, numbers, or punctuation symbols. ex. JACK-IN-THE-BOX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widdowmaker Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Your freind is tryin to dupe you. There is NO store (anywhere within 250 miles of michigan) that has that criteria. As for elsewhere i have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trikster Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Yeah, there's something fishy about this riddle. I'll ask him today if there really is a store with this name, and possibly for another hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
