Update: The "William Kitts" series was nominated for "Best
Series" in the 2010 Metro GC Awards! Thanks everyone!
Last week Sam Kitts sent me another message. It seems that he's
discovered another puzzle from his late Great-Uncle William:
My Great-Uncle had his share of odd habits. One was his address
book. Even though he had made his fortune in software, he refused
to use a computer to keep track of his contacts. "I wouldn't know
which of my friends were ones and which were zeroes," he'd joke. He
kept a handwritten address book, and once a month he would copy the
entire thing over again, so the new entries would be properly
alphabatized. Keeping things in alphabetical order was another odd
habit. He even kept his refrigerator contents in alphabetical
order, which meant he couldn't drink milk because the bottle
wouldn't fit on the middle shelf between the mayonnaise and the
mozzarella.
Apparently his executors are still sorting through his things,
because they found this list of addresses tucked inside his last
address book. It said "For S.K." on top, so they sent it to me.
I'm sure this leads to another location, but there are so many
numbers I don't even know where to start. None of the names look
familiar to me. Here's the list:
- Sebastian Whelihan, 974 Dahill Road, Brooklyn NY 11204, (788)
843-5478
- Salvatore Lombardi, 222 Willis Ave, Bronx, NY 10454, (468)
667-3371
- Olivia Haven, 776 4th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11232, (843)
673-2724
- Chaya Beregovich, 739 Second Ave, New York, NY 10016, (367)
843-2583
- Stanley Quinn, 889 10th Ave, New York NY 10019, (462)
276-7733
- Rosalie Figueroa, 1431 Broadway, New York, NY 10018, (784)
251-5665
- Tania Vanscyoc, 1019 8th Ave, Brooklyn NY 11215, (462)
368-3763
- Sheila Nieves, 276 Columbus Ave, New York NY 10023, (843)
236-8371
Let's get together soon to discuss. Drinks are on me.
