The Series

Time for the new puzzler already. This one is very straightforward. Very concise puzzler, this one.

Quick too. Here we go. This one is really hard.

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.

Answer the Puzzler »

Remember last week's puzzler?

Hawaii

Many, many, many years ago the United States Mint made money, paper currency, you know 10s, 20s, dollar bills... with the word 'Hawaii' printed on the back of the bill. Big letters over all the other printing, as if someone had taken a rubber stamp and just added it to each bill.

Now, this was done before Hawaii became a state, so it was a long time ago. Hawaii became a state in 1959, so this was happening before that time. So when this was happening, Hawaii was a territory and they were using American currency. And these bills were in circulation before Hawaii became a state.

And the question is, why was this done?

No cheating and using Google now. Honest answers only!

Good luck.
