Can you solve this week's puzzler?

View in browser » The Derelict Chevy Our puzzler today came from an avid car restorer.  He was driving across the country one day years ago and he was delighted to rescue an old derelict car from a farmer's field. Anyway, he finds this '42 Chevrolet sedan in this field, and a quick check of the car's serial number reveals to him that this was one of the last Chevrolet's built before production at the Chevrolet plant switched over to building B-24s for the war effort. He can't believe it. He is so happy. He takes the car home and begins to disassemble and refurbished every nut, bolt and everything on the old Chevy. About 15 months later after all that work, this car was glistening in it's new original color paint. The interior was spotlessly restored and the chrome sparkled in the engine rim like new. However, when he entered the car into a competition for classic cars, it failed to beat several cars which were clearly not as carefully restored as this one. In the act, he was almost disqualified from the entire competition.  Why did this happen? Good luck. Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Two Numbers This is not automotive. Here we go.  Our producer and our bookkeeper are sitting down right around tax time. They were looking over the books. Our producer is balancing the checkbook. And our bookkeeper is looking over all the financial statements. The bookkeeper asks the producer what numbers he came up with on his end. The producer gives him a number. And the bookkeeper says, "That's not right." So basically, the checkbook doesn't match the bank statements. So our producer says, "Oh no. I guess I will have to do this all over again then..." And the bookkeeper says, "Well, wait a minute, how much were you off by?" And the producer says, "Let me see. We were off by $27 bucks." Then the bookkeeper says, "Oh okay. You don't have to go add it all over again. I know what you did. You transposed two numbers." So, the producer goes back and checks this, and sure enough, he had transposed two numbers. Where there was supposed to be a 74, he had written 47.  So the puzzler question is, what did the bookkeeper know that the producer didn't know?

Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Mumblings This one is automotive and folkloric and all the things we like.  Here we go. This one comes from the days when Krusty first came on to work for us.  So Krusty had an old 55 Chevy pickup truck, or something like that. A real beast of a truck. This thing was beautiful.  One day after our work day was finished, Krusty was outside on the street with his pickup truck. He's got the right rear wheel jacked up. He's got a little hydraulic jack and he has the right rear wheel off the ground.  I'm ready to go home for the night. So I am on my way out and I see him. So I ask him what's wrong. I ask him if he has a flat tire or something and did he need help? And he says, "No, I don't..." and then he grumbles a bunch of words under his breath, he mumbles something about "starter, motor, battery, late for dinner..." I couldn't quite understand him. And I was late for dinner too, so I got in my car and drove away.  And as I drove away, I saw him let the truck down. And I saw him drive away in the opposite direction. So, what was he doing? And what were these mumblings all about?
