This week's puzzler:
A fellow is
driving his car and gets pulled over by a cop. The cop says, "I happened to
notice as you were driving by, that your inspection sticker expired six months
ago. I'm going to have to give you a ticket."
The fellow replies,
"You're not going to believe this, but this is the first time that the car has
been driven in seven months. You see, I was let go from my last job and
while the security people were escorting me from the building I fell down a
flight of stairs and broke my hip. I've had a pretty rough go of it, what with
the surgery, the steel pins and the rehab. I've been home all these
months. I haven't gotten the inspection sticker because it expired while
I was convalescing. Just yesterday I got a job offer, and I'm heading for an
interview tomorrow. But I figured, I better go get my inspection sticker
because I knew it had expired."
The cop seems to be buying this whole
story. He says, "I do feel pretty bad for you. That's a sad story, and I hope
you get the job. But I'm going to have to see your driver's license to
make sure that that hasn't expired."
The fellow opens the door to the
car, undoes the seatbelt, gets out and reaches for his wallet to get his
driver's license.
And the cop says, "I'll definitely need to see that
license because I'm writing you a ticket."
His car had been driven
during the period of time that he said it wasn't being driven.
What did
the cop see?
Last week's puzzler:
A carpenter was hired
to build a cabin in the woods, 20 miles from civilization. After the
foundation was poured and the concrete had time to cure, he set off early one
morning before sunrise, to lag bolt the sills to the foundation. Because there
was no electricity at the site, he brought along his generator and an
extension cord. He also had his electric drill, drill bits and socket and
wrench set.
When he was finished for the day he tried to leave but he
found out that his battery was dead. Remember he had left before sunrise? He
had left the lights on!
He looked behind the driver�s seat and found
jumper cables, a roll of duct tape and a quart of Fillipo Berio Extra Virgin
Olive Oil.
By this time it was getting dark, and the coyotes were
howling and the buzzards were circling. He was done for. If only there was a
way to get power from that generator!
How could he do it with these few
items at his disposal?
Last week's puzzler answer:
With
his tool kit he slips the belt off the alternator. He then takes the electric
drill and the duct tape, and duct tapes the chuck of the drill to the pulley
of the alternator, so when he squeezes the trigger on the drill it turns the
alternator. Now putting the drill into the generator, he sits there for 15
minutes, holds the trigger. In fact if he was really lazy he could duct tape
the trigger. And as the alternator spins, It makes electricity to charge the
dead battery. A few minutes later he puts the belt back on, starts the thing,
and off he goes, leaving the generator and the drill and tools
behind.
