    Are the men doctors?
    Have they done something illegal before receiving the arm?
    ha... okay. Now we're getting somewhere...

    Nothing illegal was done. But one of the men is a doctor.

    The arm has some sort of disease?

    Or its involved in some kind of weird transplant?
    Who's seen that crazy movie where the guy gets a hand transplant and the hand turns out to be really evil? Can't remember what its called though.

    No. Other than the fact that it has been severed, it's a perfectly healthy arm.

    Somebody needed an arm but they got sent the wrong one (e.g. needed a leftie but got a rightie).

    With a useless arm in his posession the 2nd man buries it. The 1st man is the doctor - he obtains the arm off some patient.

    Nope. The arm was buried in the woods. It has nothing to do with a transplant.

    You may have to try and delve more into the background. It will take alot of questions before you'll be able to work this one out.

    Lucky I've got a lot of time on my hands.

    Ok - were both the men expecting an arm in the post?

    And elaborating further on that question - was the 2nd man always expecting the arm? Or was it originally unplanned that he should receive it by post?

    It was the correct arm.

    By 1st man do you mean the first man to receive the arm? He wasn't the doctor. And the arm didn't come from a patient.

    One of the men did amputate the arm.

    And it isn't a mafia stlye message. sorry... ha.

    And both men were expecting the arm in the post.

    Did the arm belong to someone else or either man?

    My pitch:

    The second man is doctor.
    First man is huband of woman with cancer in left arm.
    Doctor amputates wrong arm.
    Woman dies, husband sends arm to doctor.
    Doctor can't live with it, buries arm.

    Ok - man #2 is the doctor.

    When the man#1 examines the arm is it in a professional capacity?
    And does man#1 know that the doctor will bury the arm in the woods?

    Right so, they KNOW who the arm belongs to, it's a mess up between a left/right arm thing...

    Are both men fully limbed?

    The arm didn't belong to either of the two men who received it in the post.

    Modified. > Sorry... It doesn't have anything to do with cancer or wrong arms being amputated.

    Neither of the men who received the arm are fully limbed.

    Monomaniac.> Sorry... I may have confused you a little. There are the two men who received the arm in the post. And there is also the person who sent the arm originally. Neither of the men who received the arm in the post are doctors.

    ha.. okay... I'll save my responce...

    Lets look at it again anyway.

    One day a man received a parcel in the post. Carefully packed inside was a human arm. He examined it, repacked it and then sent it on to another man. The second man also carefully examined the arm before taking it to the woods and burying it. Why did they do this?

    So, you should know by this stage the person who originally sent the arm was a doctor. And you know that neither of the men who received the arm in the post were 'fully limbed'

    No. The arm did not belong to either of the men who received it in the post.

    And there was no need for a note with the arm. It's meaning was understood.

    It was a left arm that was sent in the post. But it wasn't intended to be a replacement limb for them or anything like that.

    And there were no notes.. no with the arm or written on the arm.
