A Famaous (?) One For You...

[Pybob]

<font color=006600>I got this one from a Bill Bryson book, he ain't a Puzzler but a Iowa born travel writer who's spent a long time in Yorkshire (good man!)...

This is a genuine address put on an envelope in the US some time ago... Where was it sent to?
<font color=FF0000>
Wood
John
Mass
</font><font color=006600>
That's all you get...</font>

[Pybob]

<font color=660066>One clue only...</font>

<font color=660000>There are 3 lines to the address...
<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>First name & Surname
<LI>Town (city, whatever)
<LI>State (Yes, Massachcetts - my spelling's off!)
[/list]

Have fun!</font>

Was it sent to a Mr.Wood in Johnsville, Massechutas? Just a wild guess, I've never been known to be very good at word games.

Sorry Pzartal, everything you need is in the three lines...
<font color=660000><UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>Wood
<LI>John
<LI>Mass
[/list]</font>
Anything else is a lateral leap from that...

<font color=660066>Still no takers!?! Well then a clue...

John is under Wood & it is over Mass... Any more and I may as well tell you!!!

Have fun!</font>

I figured out the name, it's John Underwood (DOH http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif ) *lol*

But, still being a thrall the rest eludes me!

[Pybob]

Yep, Dracul, just extend that logic and see what it's over...

[Krynus]

Aha!

Could it have been sent to...

John Underwood (thanks to whoever got that bit) in Andover, Mass?

Did I finally get one of these riddles right? Could it be?

[dracul]

Krynus, I did get the John Underwood part. please give me a little credit! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif

<font color=440066>Woohoo! It's only taken a month and a bit of help ( http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/eek.gif )... but it's finally been solved!

*sighs in relief*

Until next time...</font> http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/wink.gif
