The Puzzler

How the dispatcher saved the day

RAY: Now, this isn't guaranteed that it's going to work, but it's the only thing that would work.

What she asked him to do was to give her the plate number of the car that he is parked behind, thinking that whose ever car it is lives right there.


TOM: It's a residential neighborhood, and it's late at night. I remember you said that.


RAY: All the hints were there. This puzzler was ripe with hints. So who's our winner?


TOM: The winner is Ann Petty from Anchorage, Kentucky. Kentucky? Really?


RAY: Just go with it.
