Maury Maille Puzzler Tower Car Talk Plaza Hahvahd Squayah Our Fair City This Week's Car Talk Puzzler: Ray's Chicken-and-Egg Series RAY: This is from my chicken-egg series. TOM: Wait a minute. Can you name any other puzzler that was from the chicken-egg series? RAY: Uh... no. This is the first. There may have been others. I don't remember. Here it is. It's very simple: A chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half. How long will it take for two chickens to lay 32 eggs? TOM: I want to see that half egg! RAY: I want to see that half chicken! Here's the question: How long will it take two chickens to lay thirty-two eggs? Think you know the answer? Drop Ray a note via http://www.cartalk.com/email/email.html If you're right and we select your answer, we'll ship you a $26 Shameless Commerce gift certificate. Want to listen to Ray obfuscate the puzzler in person? Listen anytime, at http://www.cartalk.com/content/puzzler/ ************ Remember last week's puzzler? The License Plate Series, Part III. RAY: This next puzzler is from my license plate series. TOM: Over the years you've had a puzzler from just about every possible series you could imagine! RAY: I would credit somebody with this, but I lost his e-mail. If he catches us, we'll send him a shirt. In the past, we've asked people to identify the kind of car that would be sporting a particular license plate. I'll give you some examples that we've already used: One was "tan 270" and the car that was affixed to was an Infiniti: the tangent of 270 is infinity. Here's another one: 4x4x8. It was an Accord. A cord of wood is 4 feet by 4 feet by 8 feet. So here's today's puzzler: the license plate has four letters on it: "i-n-m-y." "I" like in India, "N" as in November, "M" as in Mike, and "Y" as in Yankee. What's the car to which it's attached? Here's the answer: http://www.cartalk.com/content/puzzler/ So, did you figure it out?
