Can you solve this week's puzzler?

View in browser » The Last Carburetor Puzzler time. It is about time for an automotive puzzler, I think. This one is an easy automotive puzzler. Nothing too difficult.  This is about automotive history, sort of.  There have been a lot of changes recently in the ways cars are built. These days, there are so many changes! Onboard computers and cameras, advanced safety technology, and EV engines... So many changes.  But there have been many changes throughout history too. Back in the 1990s, the new cars then had many changes from the cars of the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Advancements in the industry are ongoing, of course. But back then, new cars in the 90s were beginning to be made without something that the cars in the years before then all had. And that was a carburetor. Right about the early 1990s the car companies started moving away from carburetors. They stopped putting them in new cars at that time.  So here is the historical automotive puzzler question.  Which car company is the last manufacturer to use carburetors? Who was the last hold out, and who took the longest to abandon the use of the carburetor? Good luck. Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Puzzlets This is about the time kids have spring break I think. So this is for them. For kids, or for people who are just not very good at regular puzzlers.  Here we go.  Puzzler #1. A man, a wanderer, is walking along the railroad tracks. He is a bit of a scamp. Doesn't have anywhere to go. He has his backpack on his back. He sees a passenger train speeding towards him at a very high speed. Now, he is walking on the track, between the two rails. And he realized that he is going to be hit by this train. So, he jumps off the track, as anyone would do. But before he jumps off the track, he runs 10 feet forward, toward the train. Now, why would he do this?  Puzzler #2. Okay, here it is. Two mechanics are standing in front of a repair shop. They are just standing there, waiting around. One is a very large, husky mechanic. And the other one is a very small, skinny mechanic. Now, the little skinny one is the big husky one's son. But the big husky one is not the little skinny one's father. How can that be?  Very simple, easy ones this week! So, I won't say good luck, because you don't need any.

The Series I'm going to give a series of names, a series of words, okay? And I want you to tell me what it is. Meaning, you can tell me what it is by telling me what the other terms are, either before or after the series of names. So in other words, I'm going to give you a piece of the series, a sub-set of words, and your task will be to give me the rest of the series and tell me what the series is.  And here they are.  Juliet. Kilo. Lima. Mike. November. And that is it. That is all I can give you. Pretty rough one huh?  Good luck. Find out here » Congratulations to this week's puzzler winner:  Paul Collen Congratulations!
