Can you solve this week's puzzler?

View in browser » Flickering Oil Light Time for the new puzzler. This one was inspired by a fan who wrote in with a problem in her minivan. And it just sounded like it would make a great puzzler, so here we go.  She wrote to us, years ago, and said this.  "I recently had a problem with my Chevrolet van. Anytime I stopped the van at a stop light if it was warmed up, the oil light would flicker on and off.  So I checked the oil and discovered I had plenty of oil in there. I'm becoming concerned about this happening, that I might have low oil pressure. Oh, and by the way, I don't know if this has any bearing on the situation, but I have very little heat as well." Okay to recap, her oil light flickers on when she comes to a traffic light, and she thinks she has low oil pressure. So, why is her oil light coming on, and what does the heat have to do with it? Good luck. Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Out To Lunch This one was my brother's puzzler.  You could easily find the answer to this if you looked it up online. So, don't do that. That is cheating.  Here goes.  A while back, we all went out for lunch. Me, Tommy, and our producer, Dougie. It was a long day at the studio, so we went out for a bit. We finished a magnificent lunch.  So, I paid the bill and we left. When we were headed back to the studio, Tommy asked me if I left a tip for the waiter. And I said, "Yes of course. But I wonder why it is called a tip?" So, that is the puzzler. Why is the customary practice of leaving money on the table after a meal called a 'tip'?

Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Frequency Hopping Today's puzzler is rooted in some deep history.  Here we go. This one involves the name Hedwig.  During World War II, many of our stars in Hollywood contributed to the war effort. You know, Bob Hope traveled the world entertaining troops and brought along his entourage. Betty Grable, Jane Russell... Many others too. Everyone at that time did their part.  But one Hollywood star contributed in a different kind of way. Instead of going to the front lines and entertaining the troops, this star actually invented something that is still in use today. And what the star invented was a device that would not allow the enemy to jam our radio transmissions. It was a frequency hopping device.  So for instance, you could transmit on one frequency talking to one of your commanders, and then the frequency would hop to another, and then another on down the line, and the enemy couldn't jam the transmission because it was hopping like that. So you'd always be able to broadcast on some frequencies that were transmittable and receivable.  This person invented a device to do that. This person has a patent on it. And the question very simply is, 'Who is this person?' And I'm going to give you this person's first name. The first name is Hedwig.  But what was this person known as in Hollywood?
