The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

OK target, here are the clues for your 12 digit tracking number (2 boxes, coming via Fedex). Some of it is easy, some of it is hard. But you're the only one who can get it. If you can't figure it out, message me and I can either give you hints or tell you the number. Although people who ship via Fedex a lot may be able to figure out the first few digits independently.

First, you need to know that there are no zeroes in your tracking number.

The first digit is the first digit in your phone number (excluding the area code)

If you add up the 4 digits in your street address, you will get a two-digit number. The last digit in that two-digit number is also the second digit of the tracking number

If you add up the 5 digits in your zip code, you will get a two-digit number. That two digit number represents the third and fourth digits of the tracking number.

For the middle section, all I will tell you is that the fifth and sixth digits of your tracking number are equal to the seventh and eighth digits (another two digit number) multipled by the first digit in the tracking number (which you already figured out). There are only three different 4-digit combinations that are possible based on your first digit.

The ninth and tenth digits are the product you get if you multiple the first digit of the tracking number by the second digit of the tracking number

And now, the best part…
For the last two digits, add up the numerical value of all the letters in your name (A = 1, B = 2, etc), and remember (or write down) that number
Then do the same with your last name
The last two digits of your tracking number are the average of the two numbers you just figured out.

And content hint - you will be receiving 11 wants, from four different breweries, although I'm pretty sure you added one after guessing I was your sender. You will also be receiving a few other beers from those breweries, because a) some of your wants were unavailable,and b) based on my stalking of your untappd, you seem to like most of their stuff.

 

There's 4 of us, but Deren has a pretty good hunch

Edit: I'm drunk, disregard that. There's at least 2 of us. @rspauldi where do you reside?

 

Two guys from Houston, two guys from York Pennsylvania. Nobody with exactly the same zip code. And a few other pairs of folks VERY close to each other.

When I set up targets, I actually put all 35 addresses into Mapquest and moved stuff around until I liked all the distances. The multiple people from one location confused the heck out of me.

 

The box is packed, taped up, and ready to be sent out barring a shipping label. If anything breaks, I want to know what the fedex guys did with the box. I'm reusing a fortress of a box sent to me by a buddy that is lined with padding, the bottles are all individually wrapped in a fairly generous amount of bubble wrap, and the contents of the box are SNUG. NOTHING should be moving in this box.

Maybe I'm just paranoid since this is the 2nd box I'm sending out and the first one I ever sent had 2 of the 18 bottles break. Here's crossing my fingers.

 

There are 3 or 4 I believe. But my trusty fedex account alerted me about a 13.2 lb box from Milwaukee addressed to me.

 

I'm Dallas.

 

Well I guess they did not feel like waiting long!

Scheduled Delivery:

I might actually be more excited the my target!

 

Hint 1: Shipping south
Hint 2: there are more than one participants in my target's state
Hint 3: My target is in the original 13 colonies
Hint 4: Based on my target's Hads, he really likes IPAs
Hint 5: My target is out of Deschutes' distro. I hope he's ok with receiving some...


oh, and by my calculation, I'm down to two possible senders....

 

Welp, down to 4 possible senders!

 

I wouldn't bet on that!

 

Devilfluff is lucky I'm in Michigan and not camping out his neighborhood tomorrow.

 

Come on down, we can dig into the cellar.

 

We really should get together at some point. But I have a feeling that shipment from GA is going to be nuclear bomb going off.

 

Damn Are you sure you didn't order a big ass block of cheese or something?

 

I am hoping so!! There will be a couple smaller aftershocks as well, one that was shipped with the main group of beers, and one I will be sending out this weekend hopefully if I can get my hands on one more thing!

 

I live in a western suburb of Houston, Katy.

 

I almost lived in katy, was in missouri city/sugarland area instead. I remember a neighborhood in katy was so large it had its own school, and fire department!

 

I LOVE the Taj Mahal! Is it possible I have THREE senders?!?

 

Sugarland is nice, really growing and nice commercial areas.

That would be the master planned community of Cinco Ranch. Huge neighborhood that has a population higher than the entire town that I grew up in.

 

Who are the two?

CIF? Cheese it Forward? I'm IN!!!
