ANSWERS

Answers are sometimes hard to get hold of - nebulous, ethereal, intangable, diaphanous, vaporous, or metaphysical.  Well, except for basic math which only allows one answer.  Enough of this crap.

The answer to Monday's quiz is so easy that my son, Andrew, had it to me just hours after it was published.  It is very logical.  If that didn't convince you that it was easy, Amy sent me the answer the next day.  Who would have guessed?

Here's the method behind the madness.  1.  Write all the numbers on a piece of paper.  2. Look up the zip code for Indian Hill which is 45243.  This tells you that none of these numbers are correct - cross them all off.  3.  Look at the 4th clue - since two are correct, 0 and 6 are in the answer.  4.  Look at the 3rd clue - two of 1, 8, or 9 are in the answer.  This rules out 7 as a possiblility since we already have the four digits.  Cross all 7s out.  5. Look at the 5th clue - 1 has to be in the answer and in the third place.  6.  Look at the 1st clue, 6 and 8 are in the answer and one is in the correct place.  7.  Look at the 6th clue - 8 must be in the answer and in the 1st spot.   That puts 6 in the fourth spot.  Voila!  8*0*1*6

Congratulations, Winners!
