A spot of logic...

I don't often post here, except stuff that is personal opinion that I don't want associated with my employers. Here's one.

Clare and I found on the street a folder of school/college course notes belonging to a student called Leigh Evans: no indication of the school. We want to return them.

Clare phoned the most likely, Exeter College, explained the situation, and asked if they had a Leigh Evans attending. The jobsworth who answered the phone said they couldn't possibly indicate a yes or no.

OK, this was slightly unexpected but understandable: Clare might be a weird stalker or a Terminator out to eliminate Leigh Evans, the future leader of the human resistance.

So what were we to do? They said we should send the folder to the college, and if the owner wasn't a student there, they'd send it back.

They appear not to have considered the logic of this. If they don't send it back, they'll have confirmed that Leigh Evans attends the college - exactly the information they said they couldn't indicate.

So how the hell do we get the folder back to its owner?
