This Week's Puzzler

Dead Men In The Cabin

Puzzler time. 

This one is very, very short. 

Not automotive at all.

Here we go.

Two men are found dead in a cabin in the woods. 

There is no evidence of them being shot, stabbed, poisoned, burnt, strangled, drowned, starved or bored to death from listening to Car Talk.

The cabin did not burn down, a tree did not fall on it.

They were not attacked by animals, and they did not die of old age or natural causes.

Both men had been healthy in their late early 30s, and both were married.

Their wives were hundreds of miles away at the time.

The question, very simply is, how did the two men die?

Good luck.

The Two Kids

Time for the new puzzler. 

This one is short. 

Here we go. This one is a two-part puzzler.

First part.

If a mother has two kids and the older one is a boy. What are the chances the younger is a boy? 

The answer to this is 50/50.

Okay now, here is the second part.

A completely different mother has two kids, and one of them is a boy.

What are the chances that the other one is a boy?

The Colorful Henry Ford


This one is historic and automotive. Here we go. 

As we all know, Henry Ford was falsely credited with inventing the automobile.

He was also falsely credited with inventing mass production. That guy had the best PR people, I swear. 

He did do one thing that he is credited for. He created the Model T.

And he was responsible for the following statement, "You can get a Model T in any color you want, as long as it's black."

He did say that. 

And the puzzler question is this. 

Why did Henry Ford choose the color black?
