    Well you could always send your package to New Zealand first with a redirect notice to target. Couldnt be that much more expensive!?!?

    Alright, starting to put together a string of clues to either help (or distract) my target. The first one will be released later today. Buckle up.

    My figure's slightly different from yours (23.70%), but pretty close. Doesn't mean I'm right, by any stretch of the imagination.

    My number is 6.49%.

    Incidentally, I am not leading in any category. Though it would take further analysis to verify, it seems possible that I lead in the number of categories in which I have second place.

    I personally favor misdirection over lies.

    For example, depending on your local shipping center, your package could be East Coast bound, but actually spend a few miles shipped west. Your hint would therefore not be a lie, but very misleading. :wink:

    If I ship through UPS for example, my package will travel North from my local affiliate to the nearest UPS center.

    And, well yeah, you can just lie in your hints if you want. :wink:

    In this case I choose subterfuge!

    HINT #1 - at least one of my hints is a LIE!!!! It is up to you to decide If this hint is the truth or an actual lie itself

    I think you’ve laid to rest any possible doubt as to the veracity of my “stouts and barleywines all day” disposition. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Well I know I'm definitely NOT shipping outside the US.

    I think a secondary goal of this BIF should be to help @Bishop pick an avatar :stuck_out_tongue:.

    Yeah, it's too bad that @Coronaeus couldn't join us from the Great White North.

    What does a Snaotheus look like? Or, a WunderLlama? Or an updated russpowell or beer snake?
