Competitions
Logistico 5 solution
There was a record response to our ‘Ayville to Zeeton’ brainteaser.
Thanks to all who submitted entries – including the rather surprising
number of you who came up with the wrong solution! The right
answer was, of course, that the trucks pass each other at 11.15am.
(Still puzzled? Then log on to www.tibbett-britten.com/logistico and
all will be revealed.)
The first correct solution drawn from our hat was sent in by Mary
Franceus of TBGNA, based at Warren, New Jersey, USA. Well done,
Mary, you win the champagne prize.
New competition –
Logistico 6
A supervisor asks Audrey to carry out a manual stock check in the
warehouse. She returns saying she has found 14 stock errors. The
supervisor then asks Brian to double-check, and he returns having
found 15 errors. The supervisor notes that they have identified only
10 errors in common. Realising the implications of this, he asks them
to check again, saying he is sure that they have probably missed a
certain number of errors. How many mistakes on average would still
remain unidentified?
This new Logistico challenge looks simple enough, but appearances
can deceive. If yours is the first correct solution out of the hat, a bottle
of champagne will be popping your way. Answers please to: Logistico
6, Tibbett & Britten Times, at the new Group headquarters address
opposite, by 30 April 2003. Entry is open to all.
What’s in a name?
Lazy, hazy, crazy – our postbag is still producing weird variations on
our name and address. For starters, Caroline Burrell of Fashion
Europe, Burleigh House, Enfield, UK, was bemused to find she
works for a company called Tiburton Britain.
Meanwhile, Phil Read at Judd House, Barking, received
documents from a leading computer company addressed to Turbet
and Brittle – which makes us sound a somewhat fishy outfit!
However, the craziest communication for quite a while was
from a trade magazine publisher intended for the Business
Development Director at Heartlands, Daventry, UK. It was sent to
Daventry International Railport Dirft South in – wait for it –
Shetland, Shetland Isles. Imagine, a rail freight terminal on a
railway-less island halfway between Edinburgh and Norway!
Development Assistant Debbie Williams wins a £25 Marks &
Spencer voucher for this geographically challenged entry.
Thanks to all who sent contributions. Keep them coming!
