Namaste Tim,

I have some instructions for how to figure out where to pick up the message I had an agent drop off. I'll phone tomorrow with the number you'll need. I'll be giving you a 4 digit number and here is what you'll do.

Arrange the digits to get the largest and smallest numbers these digits can make. Subtract the smallest number from the largest to get a new number, and carry on repeating the operation for each new number. Stop when it becomes obvious that you should and use the number you generated as follows. (It should be apparent that the starting number must have at least two different digits else the first operation would give you 4 zeros.)

ABCD
Take AB divided by 100 and add it to N 43° 42.194
Take CD divided by 100 and add it to W 79° 42.769

My man left a Twoney for you, if it is gone you can expect someone beat you there. Talk to you soon, namaste!


Brnnnng!

Hello?

Hi Tim, it's Penelope.
Chris is in the hospital, he had a car accident and is in surgery. Before they put him under he asked me to call you with a number. Trouble is he doesn't have the number with him but he said that if you read the bottom of an Ontario license plate you will figure it out. Does that make any sense to you?

Yes Pen, I'll get to that, how is Chris?

Well, his left arm has a compound fracture but that is all that is wrong, so far as we know.

Oww, hard on a lefty, that. I had better get working on this, it may take me a while. Is there anything I can do for you and Chris?

I don't see what Tim, but thanks.

Ok, I better get busy, phone me if you think of something and thanks for the call!

You're welcome, bye Tim. -Click-
