Next Week’s Challenge
From listener Tom Denk of Ann Arbor, Mich.: Take the two-letter postal abbreviations for three U.S. states. Add the letter A. Then add the two-letter postal abbreviations from three more states. You’ll have 13 letters in all. Reading from left to right, you’ll get a familiar three-word phrase that’s seen on many products. (Hint: The three words in the answer phrase have four, two and seven letters respectively.) What’s the phrase?
HINT: A is the 7th letter, and starts the last word of the product phrase. The second word is the same as one of the states.
Next Week’s Challenge: Think of a familiar brand name ending in the letters G-S. Change the G-S to an O and you’ll get the brand name of a different product. What is it? Hint: The first word has five letters, and the second has four.
Hint: Brand 1 had an iconic plastic package, which has long since been changed out for cardboard. Brand 2 is familiar to anyone with children of A Certain Age (or those who were A Certain Age in the last 40 years).
