Riddle Twenty-One: The County Code Conundrum
Gather a list, let the puzzle unfold—
Every county within your area code.
Now, for each county, dig deeper still:
Every zip code within, if you will.
Do a little math, group and compare,
Solve for skewness—patterns laid bare.
You'll see what emerges is anything but cute,
A string of oddities, hard to refute.
Name them one by one, don't skip a beat,
And if you reach the end, just repeat.
Turn around, run the list twice—
The answer's hidden, but the pattern is nice.
Now, play an acronym game with the names you find,
Arrange their first letters—see what comes to mind.
If you're clever and patient, you'll soon understand why
This riddle's a cipher, not just a sly lie.
