Puzzle 241 


I was travelling from Chesterton to Newcastle recently when I came across a sign which had fallen off its post at the crossroads.

It was marked to Newcastle, Chesterton, Knutton and Silverdale.

Unfortunately I didn't know which road to take to Newcastle and had hoped the sign would help.

Luckily I had a brainwave which helped me put the sign back pointing correctly to Newcastle.

What was my idea?
