This is what we call a "situation puzzle."  A very long list of such
puzzles is in the rec.puzzles Archive, under the name "situation.puzzles."

To request a copy of the list, send a letter to
archive-request@questrel.com
containing the line:
send situation.puzzles

To request a copy of the index to the Archive, send a letter to
archive-request@questrel.com
containing the line:
send index

The index will be mailed via return email to the address in your
request's "From:" line.  If you are unsure of this address, and cannot
edit this line, then include in your message BEFORE the first "send" line
the line:

return_address <your_return_email_address>

The Archive has been posted to news.answers.  News.answers is archived in
the periodic posting archive on pit-manager.mit.edu [18.172.1.27].
Postings are located in the anonymous ftp directory
/pub/usenet/news.answers, and are archived by "Archive-name".  Other
subdirectories of /pub/usenet contain periodic postings that may not
appear in news.answers.

Other news.answers archives are:

	ftp.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.17] in the anonymous ftp
		directory /pub/NEWS.ANSWERS (also accessible via mail
		server requests to mail-server@cs.ruu.nl)
	cnam.cnam.fr [192.33.159.6] in the anonymous ftp directory /pub/FAQ
	ftp.uu.net [137.39.1.9 or 192.48.96.9] in the anonymous ftp
		directory /usenet
	ftp.win.tue.nl [131.155.70.100] in the anonymous ftp directory
		/pub/usenet/news.answers
	grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr [134.214.100.25] in the anonymous ftp
		directory /pub/faq (also accessible via mail server
		requests to listserv@grasp1.univ-lyon1.fr), which is
		best used by EASInet sites and sites in France that do
		not have better connectivity to cnam.cnam.fr (e.g.
		Lyon, Grenoble)

Note that the periodic posting archives on pit-manager.mit.edu are
also accessible via Prospero and WAIS (the database name is "usenet"
on port 210).
