Tesla only has 5 letters.Q: The name of the film director David Lynch conceals the word AVIDLY in consecutive letters, spanning his first and last names. Can you think of a famous film director whose first and last names conceal a 6-letter name of car, past or present, in consecutive letters?
Edit: Tesla has been naming their cars as the Model S, Model 3 and Model X.
A: GUILLERMO DEL TORO (MODEL T).
Alternate: DENIS SANDERS (NISSAN)
Here's my standard reminder... don't post the answer or any hints that could lead directly to the answer (e.g. via a chain of thought, or an internet search) before the deadline of Wednesday at 3pm ET. If you know the answer, click the link and submit it to NPR, but don't give it away here.
ReplyDeleteYou may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't give the answer away. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the Wednesday deadline. Thank you.
Yes, the deadline is a day earlier this week on Wednesday, September 5th at 3pm ET.

ReplyDeleteHint: I can remember going on hunting trips with my Dad in our Ford Ranchero.
The Chevrolet El Camino and the Ford Ranchero were similar vehicles. If I had solved the puzzle when I posted the above, I probably wouldn't have mentioned either Ford or anything Spanish.
DeleteDon't settle on Bradley Cooper. Both the answer and the director are better than that.
ReplyDeleteThe last part of the director's name is also a vehicle.

DeleteWait until Tuesday.
DeleteTheir security certificate expired yesterday.
DeleteIt raises a dilemma for NPR. As I noted below we believe they select the winner based on a time stamp of when the entry was received.
DeleteIF the random time selected is before they renew the security certificate, many would be excluded. On the other hand, if they change the parameter of the time selection to only include those times after the certificate is fixed, those who did a work around (e.g. having their browser ignore the certificate) are excluded.
I'm glad I never submit.

ReplyDeleteYes, my Galaxy won't let me go to the submit website. It cites a dangerous loss of privacy issue.
ReplyDeleteYes- using a Chromebook here and I cannot get to the NPR website to submit an answer. Oh, no!
DeleteApparently their security certificate expired yesterday. Firefox allows you to "add an exception" and visit the submit page. I don't know about other programs.
DeleteBut you may want to wait anyway - as discussed earlier they apparently don't put all entries into a virtual barrel, they choose a time during the week and the entry that is closest to that time is the winner.
NPR website is a total bust – I am having similar difficulties with trying to submit. By Tuesday, I may forget and be on to other things.
DeleteI was able to submit by setting the date on my PC to 9/1. It won't affect anything on the receiving end.
DeleteMonday: NPR website back up, submission sent.
DeleteIt’s slow going for me to solve this puzzle, maybe my age is catching up with me. More clues please.

Humm... maybe a kill sport?
DeleteI found angles ranging between 104.45 and 107.5 degrees. 105 is what I remembered from when I went to school. Whatever it is, it's "the shape of water."
DeleteOn closer examination, I think maybe the 107.5 figure is a typo. Let's say 104.5.

ReplyDeleteBased on the comments here, I think there are at least two answers from two different time frames.
ReplyDeleteNevermind. My original answer has the letters in order, left to right, but not consecutively.
DeleteBeing the optimist here, the security certificate snafu gave me time to look at the puzzle reading more carefully and discover the intended answer. Thanks, NPR!
So your "clues" are even more inscrutable than usual?
DeleteIndeed, eco. What’s life without an extra dose of mystery?
DeleteI was so sure one particular early clue referred to the answer I first discovered. . .
And then doubt crept in (on little cat feet ;-)).
My least favorite movie and its director was "The Mechanic", directed by "Benny Ugort".
ReplyDeleteThe car has appeared in at least one of the director's films.
ReplyDeleteThey must have been supporting rolls.
DeleteSupporting rolls or not, I hear the director is a real breadwinner, when he's not loafing around.
DeleteIt was a long circuitous route to my cookware.
ReplyDeleteI'll seize on any excuse.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of automobiles, last Thursday the local gas prices were $2.59 a gallon for regular. On Friday the day before the Labor Day weekend, they jumped to $2.81 a gallon. Maybe that's lower than some areas but it is still quite a jump. The local news tonight is raving about how the price dropped 5 cents today. Well whoopty doo! (Or however that is spelled!)
ReplyDelete$3.89 ish California Valley
DeleteWow! I am happy that around Kansas City we have lower gas prices but that .22 cents a gallon price jump was excessive. Over the Labor Day holiday we went down to Tulsa, OK. and the going rate was $2.59. I know that is an oil town but I don't think they had the price jump like we did.
DeleteStill can't over $3.89!!

ReplyDeleteAnother list sort puzzle.
ReplyDeleteI have been interested in automobiles for 60 years and know most of them (though SDB did come up with a rare one a few years back).
So the problem was trolling through a hundred +/- directors looking for a car.
My interest went dead before I found it.
At least I will discover the answer a day early this week.
I agree, Mendo...
DeleteTry THIS LIST of 300+ directors.
DeleteI think not.
DeleteThanks anyway.
I trolled a list of 100 directors and found the intended answer quick and easy. Nice puzzle!

ReplyDeleteGUILLERMO DEL TORO > MODEL T
ReplyDeleteMy Hint (Deleted by me):
"Finally a puzzle that suits me." It suits me to a T.
That varified my answer sdb.
DeleteI thought you meant that my post/hint had led you to the answer, not that it confirmed it. So I deleted it.
DeleteDidn’t want to give away too much.
DeleteGuillermo del Toro, Model T
ReplyDeleteI sort of solved this puzzle backwards. I began with the assumption that it was likely an older car because otherwise the phrase “past or present” wouldn’t have been necessary. I immediately thought of the Model T as a well-known older car. Then I started looking through a list of famous directors without any luck. So I quit. Woke up Monday morning and there the answer was – no looking through lists – just popped into my brain.
Movie Director: GUILLERMO DEL TORO → MODEL T (Ford).
ReplyDeleteGuillermo del Toro is #275 on this list of movie directors.
My hint: the 1-cylinder BRUSH Runabout came just before the 4-cylinder Model T.
GUILLERMO DEL TORO >>> MODEL T
ReplyDelete“Super Far Cast” refers to the Hungarian car designer, Eugene Farkas, who helped design the MODEL T.
My initial thought was Lorenzo's comment referred to Steven Spielberg's ex-wife, Amy Irving. So there appeared steVEn SPiElbeRg and VESPER. I missed the consecutive criterion until later on Sunday.
Then, I realized Lorenzo was referring to del Toro's ex-wife, Lorenza. The Lorenzo/Lorenza connection made more sense.
"ron, pat" can be anagrammed to patron. I learned that Director Del Toro has a line of Patron alcoholic beverages.
Guillermo del Toro --> Model T

Guillermo del Toro -> Model T
ReplyDelete> Translate the director's first name into another language, change one letter, and translate the result back to get the director's last name. [Deleted because my wife thought it too revealing.]
Guillermo -> William -> Bill -> Bull -> Toro
> PS3
From Wired, 5/22/09, "Q&A: Hobbit Director Guillermo del Toro on the Future of Film":
In the next 10 years, we're going to see all the forms of entertainment—film, television, video, games, and print—melding into a single-platform "story engine." The Model T of this new platform is the PS3. The moment you connect creative output with a public story engine, a narrative can continue over a period of months or years. It's going to rewrite the rules of fiction.
> The car has appeared in at least one of the director's films.
In Crimson Peak.
> Some avidly claim this photo reminds them of David Lynch's Twin Peaks.
Anne Pigalle is an anagram of Leaping Lena, a nickname of the Model T.
> What do Caroline Trentini and Channing Tatum have in common? [Deleted on the advice of ecoarchitect.]
They're both Ford Models "T".
With my two-part named cars, I alluded to the fact that del Toro is a two-part name.
ReplyDeleteI wrote, “The last part of the director’s name is also a vehicle.” The Toro is a truck made by Fiat.
ReplyDeleteI thought you meant a lawnmower.
DeleteI mentioned my first car came with the 30/30 guarantee. That warranty was good for 30 feet or 30 seconds, which ever came first. From what what I can tell, that's about all the warranty was good for on the Model T!
ReplyDeleteHow about an alternate answer: Henry Jablon - Henry J.
ReplyDeleteMade by Kaiser, of course. The Henry J had wonderful styling, and elegant lines. I've always wanted one...
Not consecutive letters.
DeleteWhich part of consecutive am I missing? H-e-n-r-y-J .... except it's Henry Jaglom not Jablon. And that is a pretty cool looking car.
Deletecorrection -- Jaglom. Oops.
ReplyDeleteA Model T. I said I’m slow to get an answer, referring to it’s speed, and I’m old, referring to the age of when the car was produced.

WW - I really liked your crawdad comment, assuming I interpreted it correctly.
ReplyDeleteLorenzo, thanks, but I gave that clue before I had the correct answer. I might reverse engineer a connection from crawdad to the creature in “The Shape of Water,” directed by del Toro. Was that your interpretation?
DeleteNo I thought you were combining model and Ford by hinting at Cindy Crawford!
DeleteI like it! It must have been in my subconscious brain. ;-)
DeleteThe White House mole has finally been revealed...
ReplyDeleteThe Brits are great: the NY Post (if the Times is the paper of record, the Post is the paper of CD's - crazy delusions) reports the British gambling houses have Pence as the odds on favorite to be the author. You can see the current betting line here.
DeleteVery interesting... I thought about Pence because he could have the easiest access to the Oval office. That "lodestar" observation is very telling, too! Pence just doesn't seem to have the chutzpah to do this stuff, though.
DeleteJust think of what will go down when this person is finally revealed.
I wonder when we'll ever know? These are sure crazy times.
It's kinda funny how Trump's reaction to all of this has been described as "volcanic". It brings to mind famous volcanic eruptions from the past.
DeleteI'm thinking either Mount Pinatubo or perhaps Mount St. Helens.
Pence and Pompeo have already denied writing the Op-Ed. Besides, Pence's job wouldn't be at risk if he were revealed as the author.
DeleteAll the more reason to check the cleaning lady's mop bucket for hidden compartments.
Deleteeco, what do the - and + on the betting lines mean?
DeleteCan we take bets on whether 45’s volcanic eruptions are explosive (gas-driven with tephra projectiles exploding) or effusive (oozy, hot lava)? Or both?
My money's on John Kelly.
Delete68C: I wish we could simply watch the volcano from a safe distance, but I fear we are all Harry R. Truman, about to be engulfed in the pyroclastic flow - the toxic gas has already spread across the nation.
DeleteWW: you beat me (just barely) on the continuing volcano metaphor, I was looking through my computer for photos of volcanoes I have seen, but I think I haven't scanned those.
DeleteI'm no expert on gambling, but I think the + and - is whether the the odds (and payout) are greater or less than 1:1. For example, if the odds are +200 (DeVos) the payout is £2 for every £1 bet. If the odds are -200 then you only get £1 for every £2 bet (plus your original £2. I think.
Yeah, pyroclastic flow is quite devastating but the explosive (gas and tephra-producing) kind looks more deadly initially.
DeleteReagan was the Teflon President, 45 can be the Tephra President (followed by the Pyroclastic Prez).
Thanks for the scoop on the odds. Odds are we all lose with The Volcano in the office.
Speaking of such things, I heard Jeffrey Lewis, author of "The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States: A Speculative Novel", interviewed on "On The Media " a couple of weeks ago, so I bought a copy. Interesting, quick read. Not as good as General Sir John Hackett's 1978's "The Third World War, August, 1985", but more relevant today. I like what he did with victim interviews in Chapter 10.
Deletejan, might you expand on what he did with victim interviews?
DeleteNo spoilers, but they sounded familiar, and the reference notes confirmed my hunch.
DeleteWithout giving anything away, the author explains that everything in the book that happens before 8/6/18 is true, and documented in the notes, while everything after that is speculative fiction.
Intriguing, thanks.
