can you count the letter "n" in:
q: short science fiction story where lititz was east of king of prussia instead of west i remember a science fiction short story published a few decades ago, probably in analog, probably in the previous millennium, about a scientific detective type character, which had scenes set in lancaster county, pennsylvania.
the detective's office was in king of prussia, pa, and he said that lititz in lancaster county was 60 miles east of king of prussia.  sixty miles east of king of prussia should be in new jersey - according to google maps, near howell township and a few miles inland.
lititz is about 50 miles west of king of prussia.  there was also an assay office in lititz.  i associate assay offices with old west prospectors and ore samples.  would there be one in a modern small town like lititz?
