It's probably nothing, but could there be any significance to the spelling here? I think "topsy-turvy" is more commonly spelled without the extra E.

I thought about that also. I figured maybe "turvey" was a word by itself or something. Dictionary.com says no. I got nothin'.

I thought about it, but turvey seems to be an alternate spelling of some kind. I got some 7,000 odd search results in google with the extra 'e'.

As usual, all solved while I had lunch. Sniff.
Ah well, at least I got to help a little on the detective story puzzle. Nice puzzle, that.
Congrats to all the solvers! Nice job, all!

actual thought process when i googled for 02118 about 5 minutes ago:
"hmm, the zip code of boston... yeah... that doesn't tell me anything, that must not be it"
D'OH!

That's what brain storming is for. All ideas are valid. If you have it, post it.
