Mystery Postal #414 was posted today. Check out the tracker at https://www.atlasquest.com/showinfo.html?gTrackerId=9850

For those who are new to mystery postals and for those who need a refresher the rules follow.

To get this postal you will have to guess the theme/name/subject of the stamp. Clues will be posted on the postal boards and on this tracker. I will try and post one per day. For each clue posted each person may make one guess prior to the next clue being posted.

Guesses should be sent to IrishRef via AQMail, not posted on the boards! Guesses will only be accepted from AQ members through AQMail.

Even if you have no clue take a guess anyway. Half the enjoyment is seeing the range of incorrect answers and how people connected clues for those guesses. You will only get a response from IR if you: A. Have the correct answer, B. Are very close or I need to clarify your guess, or C. Your guess peaks my fancy.

The first 10 members correctly guessing will be notified by AQMail. Tracker order will typically be determined by order correct answer receipt (Exception to this are international winners who will be at the end of the tracker). The correct answer with how each clue is related will be posted once the postal is full.

Warning - A few of the clues may give people pause. Trust me the clues will work and the correct answer will be tamer than some of the clues allude. Also promised this one is not directly about Pittsburgh or local sports team. Nineteen people requested that this continues through the summer. So don your thinking caps and fire up google.

Clues:
1. Denver - Dallas

Good responses but not a correct one yet.

Clue 2 = Nashville - Newark, NJ

Clue 3 = 1574

Clue 4 = drones?

Clue 5 = Philadelphia - Pittsburgh

Only 1 spot left.

Clue 6 = Toronto - Los Angeles

Mystery Postal #414 is now closed. The correct answer is Amazon. Congratulations to the winners and thanks to all that participated with guesses.

The clues included pairs of cities on the short list of 20 North American candidates for the second Amazon headquarters HQ2. Made most alliterative pairs but no one went that direction.

The other two clues included drones which Amazon is contemplating on using for some Prime deliveries and the number 1574. The number is the closing stock price as of 5.18.18 rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Pulling for Columbus, OH and Pittsburgh for HQ2 since both are closest to our home and my son's current location. He is a senior analyst for their virtual division working from home. Started out in the Barboursville, WV call center. The box will eventually be planted near that facility.

The next mystery will most likely not occur until the first week of June.
