It's not a clue so it must be the latter although I'm usually pretty sober at 3.24 in the afternoon (Well most days anyway) | ||

Did you search the name? Some details? Relevant how this person was famous? Media? Could this have been a Yahoo! search? Was some information fake? Did some information mislead you? Did you actually go into one of the results? Did the company manufacture things? Did you go into their website? Did you know individual members of the company? Did the company know you? Were you part of the company? Was the dead person part of the company? Were they HAM? HAF? Name of the newspaper relevant? Did something you saw in the obituary mislead you? | ||

YES this is very relevant Was some information fake? No Did some information mislead you? No Did you actually go into one of the results? Yes but I didn't have to for the puzzle to work Did the company manufacture things? No Did you go into their website? Yes Did you know individual members of the company? No Did the company know you? No Were you part of the company? No Was the dead person part of the company? No Were they HAM? HAF? HAM but it's not hugely relevant who the dead person was so I'll tell you that it was ludovic Kennedy the broadcaster and writer Name of the newspaper relevant?

Is the word "yahoo" the key? Just that "yahoo" is very joyous (particularly with the exclamation point at the end!)? And some of the results pointed towards a yahoo site? Or is there more to it than that? | ||

Or is there more to it than that? No nothing more than that. *********** Spoiler**************** After reading an obituary of writer and broadcaster Ludovic Kennedy a man I had great admiration for I googled him to read more about him. I was struck by this rather unfortunate google result . http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=ludovic+kennedy+yahoo&meta=&aq=f&oq= Apparently his death did not cause sadness with everybody.

NO i just googled Ludovic kennedy and that was the first hit I got. Strange that Google had a Yahoo site first on their list but there you are. |
