‘Logistico 4’ solution
Many thanks to all those ingenious readers who entered our last
competition. It was no easy task, transforming TIBBETT into
BRITTEN by changing a maximum of two letters at a time and
making a new word at each stage. In fact, the Editor and Inquisitorin-Chief
was quietly confident that no-one would equal his own
seven-move solution (see below left).

However, he reckoned without Tony Smithurst, a Technical
Manager with Tibbett & Britten Africa, who likewise manages the
trick in just seven moves (see above right). Well done, Tony, a bottle
of champagne is on its way to you.
New competition
At 7.30am a Tibbett & Britten consignment leaves Ayville for
Zeeton for a timed delivery in six hours. By coincidence at the
same moment another consignment is sent from Zeeton destined
for Ayville for delivery in exactly ten hours. If the two
consignments travel via the most direct route and arrive precisely
on schedule, at what time do the drivers pass one another?
(Assume they travel at constant speed, without rest breaks.)
A lovely bottle of bubbly awaits the sender of the first correct
solution out of our hat. Please send your answer to Logistico 5,
Tibbett & Britten Times, at the Worldwide Headquarters address
opposite, by no later than 31 July 2002. Entry is open to all.
What’s in a name?
By every post they come... those bizarre attempts at our name and
address. Among the good, the bad and the ugly this time was a
letter from a Swiss transport journal to a Mr Hoe Ross of
Windmill Hill, GB-Enfield. A Scottish gardener, perhaps?
Rather more sinister was a letter from the Inland Revenue
addressed to Tibbett & Britten Group at Rough House. This was
passed to us by Jennie Taylor, who wondered if the taxman was
trying to tell us something.
Regular contributor Caroline Burrell was bemused to receive a
mailer from a catering firm that believes Burleigh House to be the
home of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
However, the worthy winner of a £25 Marks & Spencer voucher
has to be Bill Somerton, who received a packet from an overseas
office of a top computer company addressed in bold, confident
type to Halth Business Park, Bill Saunerton, Tabbit Graty
Newnhim Drive, Northhamptonshire, Daventry.
Thank you, Bill, and all who sent contributions. More please!
