How to make insurance so fascinating, it's criminal. Nice one, Scott!

Well they do call it casualty! And loss!

Hah! I can often see the clues in your twisted little stories. You have trained me to be on the look out for them. But you got me this time. I skipped right past this line: "The challenge was to solve them all." You are so clever, Scott, if slightly tweaked.

Ha thank you as always. I gotta leave some breadcrumbs. I was afraid somebody might guess a police exam!

Those questions weren't on the life insurance license exam I took in 1974. I think you made that up, Scott.😁 Oh, yeah, fiction. You sure know how to take a reader on a ride. We love it!

Yes there was some “license” involved lol
