Where do I end up? (Posted on 2005-03-04) Difficulty: 3 of 5
This riddle gives you examples of "journeys." Your job is to find the rule governing the journeys, or why you end up with a particular destination. I will list 5 examples below. If you figure out the key, please do not give away the solution, but instead, prove that you have figured it out by creating a journey of your own, as well as the Final Destination.

Journey #1:
Start in Denver.
Stay 4 nights.
Fly to Dover.
Fly to Georgia.
Stay 2 nights.
Drive to Raleigh.
Take the train to San Francisco.
Final Destination = Los Angeles

Journey #2:
Start in Delaware.
Stay 4 nights.
Go to Little Rock.
Go to Pensacola.
Go to Hawaii.
Stay there for 3 nights.
Go to New Jersey.
Go to San Diego.
Final Destination = Miami.

Journey #3:
Start in St. Louis.
Stay there for 5 nights.
Go to New Hampshire.
Fly all the way to Singapore.
Final Destination = Phoenix.

Journey #4:
Before you start, your flight is delayed 1 night.
You start in Nebraska.
Then off to Grand Forks.
Stay there for 2 nights.
Travel to Lubbock.
Drive to San Antonio.
Final Destination = Anaheim, CA.

Journey #5:
Start out in Cleveland.
Stay for 1 night.
Go to Richmond.
Go to Denver.
Stay for 3 nights.
Go to New York City.
Stay for 1 night.
Go to Lexington.
Go to Savannah.

The first step to solving this is spotting the sequence. The first letters of the cities travelled through, plus the nights stayed (1 night = A, 2 nights = E, 3 nights = I, 4 nights= O, 5 nights = U), spell out words. In this case, the words are: Dodgers, Dolphins, Suns, Angels, and Cardinals. If you didn't notice, those are all names of sports teams. The second step of solving the puzzle is realizing that the "Final Destination" is the home city of the sports team spelled out in the "journey."
