Let me introduce you to Ivan...
Ivan, a boy scout, is 13 and enjoys puzzles! Unfortunately, he is having a bad day and has got them all mixed up...
What is he going to do?
Initially, Ivan could always rely upon some courage and creativity having extra senses! But nowadays he finds it much easier just to knuckle down.
Years ago, when Ivan was about 6, he realised he had special powers. He could read peoples minds, make things invisible for roughly 24 minutes, memorise at least 2 encyclopaedias, and even fairly accurately predict the future for up to about 50 years.
Ivan has always loved puzzles and number sequences; his favourite primarily being 229,271,1987,5,11,5021 as he could sit for ages studying it.
What was that!!!? Did you see it? Could it possibly be of any help for Ivan?...
Anyway, Ivan grew up between Middle and Higher Crackington but a letter went missing so he moved, without nowt, to a Cornish farm situated between St Eval and St Ervan. Well, that's how the story by Derek Savage goes, and to think John Prine got kicked off Noah's Ark!
Onwards and upwards...
Before Ivan got his puzzles all in a muddle he was trying to work out where he had to go but he just could not make any sense of it!
Where can we eat salad with 1000 island dressing on it!? Especially as we have a perfectly good eTrex here, and the cuckoo spell is so strong! Perhaps it's a good place for King Philip of France to see the buzzard again? Could this be a sign?

So does that make you thirty something acrophonically speaking?
According to the International Journal of Solar System Studies, you must not fly too close to the sun!
