This is a long shot: Many years ago, probably early nineties, I attended a 1 week IBM course with the title “MVS Advanced Capacity Planning” (or similar). It was given by a Canadian IBMer. At the start of the course he gave out, without further explanation, copies of some articles. One was a story about a student who used a Chinese laundry. The proprietor used the laundry items to make deductions about the student’s life, eventually concluding that the student had committed a murder. (All wrong of course - hence the link to capacity planning).
I think the story was from one of the Stephen Potter books (who wrote about “Gamesmanship etc in the 1950’s). Does anyone else remember this and have details of the source ?
