Car Talk

Every week on Car Talk®, Click and Clack present listeners with a curious little conundrum. Sometimes it has to do with the inner workings of cars. Sometimes it has to do with language, algebra, or something else you should have learned in the seventh grade (at least the second time through). But more often than not, the Puzzler has to do with more esoteric things like the bubonic plague, electric trolleys in Brooklyn, or the urgent need for a haircut.
