Can you solve this week's puzzler?

View in browser » Pages Puzzler time. This is an old one. And you have to be old to even try to get this one.  Back in the day, there was a TV series called Perry Mason. And there was a detective on that show named Paul Drake.  So, if you remember that, you can do this puzzler.  Many years ago, Paul Drake had to hire a new assistant and he had three candidates in his office. He decided to interview them and give them a little quiz.  So he said, "Look, guys, there's a crime that needs to be solved. And there's a clue in one of the public libraries in Bakersfield. The clue is stuck inside a book between pages 165 and 166. This is a book about cars that's written by two famous brothers." Two of the guys jump up and bolt out the door. The third guy doesn't move. He just sits there. Drake says, "You've got the job." Why did the third guy get the job? What did he know that the other two applicants did not know? Good luck. Answer the Puzzler » Remember last week's puzzler? Something Borrowed Some years ago when my son Louis got his driver's license, he asked to use my truck. He was going to take a little trip to the next town over to visit a friend of his and I gave him the keys. But I gave him this stipulation, "Don't drive very far, because you're not an experienced driver and I certainly don't want you driving on the highway or out of state or anything like that." And he said, "Don't worry, Dad." Now being the trusting soul that I am, I didn't bother to write down what the mileage was or anything like that. He takes the truck. That night he returns and hands me the key. And I go out to the truck. It was dark. I got inside and I didn't see anything on the seat or anything. I didn't know what the level of gas had been when he took the truck or the odometer reading, and I hadn't written down the mileage or anything like that.  I started the engine. I sat in the truck for about maybe half a minute with the engine running. And I knew in an instant that he had gone much further. How did I know he had gone much further than he said he would?

They had a highly successful semester in an introductory chemistry class that they were taking. So their confidence is high. So high in fact that they decide to blow off the entire week before exams.  So, instead of studying that week, they take a trip. They go to a fraternity party in a town quite a distance away and they have a pretty good time. So these guys spend the entire week partying. And they have such a good time, that they don't make it back in time for their final exam. They miss it entirely.  In a panic, they devise a plan. They agreed to tell the professor that they had a flat tire, and this prevented them from returning on time to take the exam. (This was before cell phones, obviously...) So, they tell the professor this. And they beg and they plead with him to allow them to take the exam again. They say this will never happen again.  The professor agrees and tells them to return the next morning.  So, they do. They come back the next morning and the professor give them their exam. He has them leave their backpacks and books in the office and sends them to different rooms to take the exam. The test consists of one 5 point question, some molarity problem. Something easy. And smiling confidently, each student answers the question.  Then they turn the page. The next question is the 95 point question.  And the puzzler question is, what is the 95 point question that the professor put on the make up exam?
