      You're wondering about Mr. Shin.

    6. And, indeed, a clamp and change figured into the solution to the Car Talk Puzzler. Ka-ching!

      Why would a motel owner be predisposed to assigning a traveling salesman to a second-floor room, and does the fact that he's driving a Volkswagen have anything to do with it?

      Oh, Mr. Shin was the Camp Clamp Champ, obviously.

  46. SCREWDRIVERS > DRIVER’S CREW

    My hint:

    “I don't know why I keep thinking of a crankshaft when the answer has to be a BROKE PISTON.”

    A screwdriver is also a crankshaft. Pissed ‘n’ broke also works if you permit the answer being a homophone.

    1. Pardon my typo. That should read:

      SCREWDRIVER > DRIVER’S CREW

      My hint:

      “I don't know why I keep thinking of a crankshaft when the answer has to be a BROKE PISTON.”

      A screwdriver is also a crankshaft. Pissed ‘n’ broke also works if you permit the answer being a homophone.

  47. screwdriver, driver’s crew

    Last Sunday I said, “Think NASCAR.” At NASCAR races each driver has his own pit crew full of mechanics.

  48. SCREWDRIVER – DRIVER'S CREW.
    This puzzle reminded me of a riddle from High School Chemistry.
    Q - What do you get if you mix vodka and milk of magnesia?
    A - A Phillips Screwdriver.
    I considered posting the question as a clue, but thought it might be too revealing, so I stuck to the rhymes. Speaking of which.

    N S C – updated hint to this week's puzzle.

  49. Dwight Eisenhower (is alleged to have) had an affair with his chauffeur during the during the World War II.

    1. It is not simply "alleged" but substantiated. President Truman ordered him to end it. It is the rare U.S. president who did not have extramarital affairs, including Abraham Lincoln.

  50. SCREWDRIVER >>> DRIVER'S CREW

    "I keep thinking of Mini Coopers for some reason." as in Minnie Driver >>> DRIVER'S crew.


    "Ha! Yes, SuperZee, on a week when Blaine's Blog is mentioned on NPR, perhaps we ought to drop an actual clue or two to the Sunday Puzzle. That's the long and short of it." As in long and short SCREWDRIVERS. If your mechanic doesn't have at least one screwdriver, I'd get a new mechanic.

  51. SCREWDRIVER

    DRIVERS, (DRIVER'S, or best, DRIVERS') CREW

    My hint: “Scarecrow” anagrams to “o! car's crew.”

    ReplyDelete
  52. SCREWDRIVER DRIVER'S CREW
    "OJ did it" refers to orange juice going into making a screwdriver(with vodka). Also, Archie Bell and the Drells had a hit called "Tighten Up". Wilson Phillips only really meant as in Phillips SCREWDRIVER.

  56. Okay, Blainesvillians, we are once again creeping ineluctably toward the 200-comment mark. If you need a little break from the triple-rhymefest, check out Puzzleria!. I just uploaded this week’s edition: Four fresh puzzles (including one by skydive boy!) plus one puzzle appetizer.

  60. Next week's challenge: This challenge comes from listener Joe Krozel of Creve Coeur, Mo., and it involves a spoonerism. (To recap, that's where you exchange the initial consonant sounds of two words to get two new words. For example, a spoonerism of "light rain" is "right lane.")

    Name two animals. Exchange their initial consonant sounds, and the result in two words will be the name of a third animal. What is it?

  61. I have an answer.
    I hope I'm wrong.
    That would be quite a relief.

    1. But, if I'm right, there was a big hint in the on-air program.

For NPR puzzle posts, don't post the answer or any hints that could lead to the answer before the deadline (usually Thursday at 3pm ET). If you know the answer, submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.

You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
