Hello Puzzlers, Welcome to the Puzzler Podcast the Essential Vitamins
and Minerals as part of a Complete Puzzle Breakfast. I
am your host, A J. Jacobs, and I am here
with Chief Puzzle Officer Greg Plisko.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Welcome Greg, Well, thank you Aj, and Happy Pie Day.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Happy Pie Day to you. March fourteenth, three point one four.
So yes, it's very exciting. And Albert Einstein's birthday, which
I didn't know until this year, but it.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Kind of works out right, kind of fitting that he
is birthday would be on Hi Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
I think you would like pie as a constant. I
looked into this just before the show because Pie Day,
I feel, is a great nerdy holiday. But there are
two others that are just slightly nerdier, which is Pie
Approximation Day, which is the twenty second of July because
twenty two over seven is the fraction that approximates pie.
(01:07):
So that's pretty nerdy like.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That, that's even nerdier. Yeah, and let me give you.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
One last one before we get to the puzzle, which
is Mole Day. And Mole is some crazy big number
related to Avigrado's number. I don't even understand how they're related,
but it occurs on October twenty third at six oh
two am. Because that's ten twenty three, six oh two
(01:33):
and and avocado's number is six point zero two times
ten to the twenty third. So that's hardcore.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
There you go. And that's that's not avocado's number, that's
avogadro's number.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Right, right, did I say avocado's number?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You did say it could be the number of avocados
you have in your house too.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, I feel that like you make pies on pie day,
so you would make avocado dip or guacamole on avocado agudros.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It could be molay a day and then you would
make it nice.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Oh, I like it, Molly and avocado. That's great.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Every day is about food or irrational numbers. Well, I
wish I had a puzzle that was about pie the food.
But today it's about pie the number. It's about adding
pie helped to various things.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
All right, I'm getting out my calculator.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Don't worry, there's no math involved, just the two letters pi.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Excellent. Thank god, you had me scared for a moment.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay, don't be scared this. I'm going to give you
clues to two words where you stick pie inside the
first word to get the second word.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Oh, I love it. Do you have an example?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
I do have an example. Start with a part of
your face, insert pie inside of it, and you end
up with a two word term meaning to contribute your
share of the cost of something.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Uh okay, I was going no pies for nose, but
now I got chip in for chin. You add the
pi and it goes chip in.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
You got it exactly, all right.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
It was my second It was the second part of
my face that I thought of. So there you go.
I thought of.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
The next week, we'll do part of the face day
and it'll be ready. All right, here's your first one.
Start with a satirical news site and end up with
the kind of column often appearing on a newspaper's editorial page.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Oh my goodness, all right, I'm already lost. Oh wait
wait wait, no, no, okay, Well I know that opinion
pages often and.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Oh that's it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I got it. I work backwards, yes opinion, yes, onion
is yep, the onion sasterical news. And you put a
pie right in between two of the letters, which my
brain is too foggy to figure out which, and you
got opinion.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You got it, You got it very good.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
All right. I've got a little bit of a cold,
so I'm not working on all eight cylinders. Or is
it eight cylinders or six? See, I'm it depends on you.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You know. If you've got a twelve cylinder brain, then
it's twelve cylinders. If you've got a Mazda, you've got
kind of a rotary brain that just spins around in it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Right now, I feel I'm working with the Mazda brain.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay, you're doing great, you're doing great. All right. Start
with a term for a guy with a lot of braun. Okay,
end up with a term for a guy with not
much brains. Oh wow, Okay, a guy with a lot
of braun. So I'm thinking, I guess someone not a bully,
a at list.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
No, that wouldn't work.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That's a four letter word.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
He's a real, he's a real. All right. Let me
try going the other way.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Okay, what's an adjective meaning not having much brain?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
And it's got to have the letters pie in it. So,
oh man, I am not smart but dumb dumb?
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, another word for dumb. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
I am living out the second part of this. I
am the person with not many brains.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But you're looking very brownish.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, okay, I blame the cold mitigation. All right, So
someone who is not wait he said, as someone who's
not smart is or not slow? Yeah, stupid, stupid? Ah,
a stud and stupid, all right, exactly feel.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Brawnny guy is a stud. The guy with not much
brain power is stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I am certainly the second, right now, feeling the second.
Let's let me try to get back to the first.
Let me try to get back to studley.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Back to Studley and the puzzle. Realm sure, all right?
Start with red, yellow or black. End up with the
color of an old photograph.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh thank god, I feel okay about this one. All right,
so yes, I work backwards because the answer I'll just
start with the answer is c se A and Sepia.
But it was the Sepia that got it for me
because I happen to know Sepia is like that brown
colored photograph. And then I really, oh black sea, yellow sea.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, that's exactly very tricky there, Well done. Now you
say Sepia, I say cepia.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Interesting. Maybe it's a British American thing like era and
era could be Probably I'm just mister.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
One of us is clearly Andrea, you.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Our puzzle associate. Puzzler has to weigh in and tell us,
so let.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Us know who's right. But let's continue with puzzles while
she does that. Start with a gunman who shoots from
a rooftop and end up with an adjective meaning more
short tempered.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Oh. Interesting, Well I thought I had it because I
thought the gunman from the rooftop. Oh, I think I
do have it. I think I do have it. Okay,
show yes, So the gunman from a rooftop is sniper,
and then you add a PI to sniper, and you've
got snippier, snippier.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
All right, I should we should have done it. The
other wise it's just the snipier sniper, the snippier sniper.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
They're all pretty snippy. I don't I don't think you
can have like a zen come. I mean they seem
that maybe not, maybe that that's the whole thing. You
want to be zen in calm. If you're a sniper who.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You're truly zen, you're not going to be shooting things
from a roof I hope. All right, let's let's get
away from the violence and go for this one. Start
with a word for your stockholdings, and end up with
the types of markers used in space. Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Wow, okay, Well, the things that come to me immediately
are not working out at all. One is anti gravity.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Pen that yeah, that has no pi in it?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I mean portfolio was the part that I as you.
It's where you keep your stock holdings? Is what you said?
Speaker 2 (07:54):
No, a word for your stockholdings. You have a bunch
of blank of stock. You have a you're gonna buy
some stock blank stock.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Uh, you're gonna come back to being the non stud. Uh. Uh,
You're gonna buy a stock portfolio. You're gonna buy some
stock picks. You're gonna buy some stock.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
How many blank of apple stock do you own? How many?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Share?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Ye? There you go? All right? And then what was
the clue?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And the marker? It's a type of marker that happens
to be used in space because it can write in
zero gravity.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh goode.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Popular for signing autographs.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, I have used sharpies, So yes, sharpies. Very well done?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Right, let's do two more?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
All right? You want to humiliate me? Two more done?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Sure? One start with the nose of a pig and
end up with a possible result of losing control of
your car.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
All right, well, I thought I had it. I thought
the nose of a pig was a snout. It is okay, good,
So then, oh, okay, I see the p I goes
earlier in the word than I thought. So you do
spout snout to spin out snack exactly, exactly, exactly, okay.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And our last one start with the kinds of boats
you might row down a river and end up with
the kinds of shelters you might erect alongside your house
to protect you from the sun.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh okay, now that is good. I mean, I it's funny.
I actually do feel my neurons firing at a lower
rate because there's a word that I know, that I know,
and it is not coming to me. Okay, but wait, word,
it's a ship you would row by the river, A boat,
I'm sorry, A boat? Which would be it could be
(09:52):
a canoe, It could be a kayak, could be a
It wouldn't be a rower.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
You named canoe?
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Canoes?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Canoes?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:01):
So, and then kinds of shelters that protect you from
the sun.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Oh okay, canopies, canes, the canopy very good? Well, I
don't know about the very I'd say.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You got them all. It's pie Day, you got them all.
How many digits of pie can you name?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Oh? Man, I think I can go for like five
and that's it. And I give up three point one
four one five. He is nine two seven. Hey, I
surprised myself. I think that that's pretty good. What do
you got?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I got three point one four one five nine two?
So you're a.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You are a sud you're trying to be nice? All right?
Well that was fantastic, Greg, Do you have a uh
an extra credit for the folks at home?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I do?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I do.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I picked a tough one. You start with a six
letter term used in science fiction for inhabitants of or
for an inhabitant of Earth, okay, and end up with
the species of small turtle that is the mascot for
the University of Maryland. Oh I love it.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Okay. I did happen to get that one reverse engineering
it because I have a friend who's a big fan.
Well that was fantastic. Happy pie Day. Everyone, go eat
some pie, or go calculate some irrational numbers, and don't
forget to come back tomorrow for the answer and subscribe
and write a review. By the way, breaking news. I
(11:33):
sort of got pie right and I sort of got
it wrong, So full disclosure three point one four one
five nine two six five. But if you round that up,
it's three point one four one five nine two seven.
So yes, I will take the W even though I
got the y L. Thank you and right in. If
(11:55):
you're still angry, all right, that was fun. Tell your
friends if you want, we're here. We'd love to keep
puzzling you, and we will. We will meet you here
tomorrow for more puzzling puzzles. I will puzzle you puzzlingly.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Hello puzzlers. Greg Pliska here up from the Puzzle Lab
with the answers to the extra credit from our previous episode,
we played sports sounds with Charlotte Wilder, where we gave
her a number of different sounds that she had to
identify what sport they came from. For the extra credit,
we played you this sound. Ras up what many of
(12:45):
you probably recognize that as the sound of curling, But
did you know that's the Swedish women's curling team and
it's the final match at the Vancouver twenty ten Olympics.
And bonus credit if you could name the player. He's
Anna LaMonte, Catherine Lindahl, Ava Lunde and Annette Norberg and
(13:05):
they won gold, and your gold to us for listening
to the Puzzler every day. We'll catch you next time.

Approximation Day, which is the twenty second of July because
twenty two over seven is the fraction that approximates pie.

So that's pretty nerdy like.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
That, that's even nerdier. Yeah, and let me give you.
Speaker 1 (01:10):

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Well, I feel that like you make pies on pie day,

The next week, we'll do part of the face day
and it'll be ready. All right, here's your first one.
Start with a satirical news site and end up with
the kind of column often appearing on a newspaper's editorial page.

wait wait, no, no, okay, Well I know that opinion
pages often and.

I got it. I work backwards, yes opinion, yes, onion
is yep, the onion sasterical news. And you put a
pie right in between two of the letters, which my
brain is too foggy to figure out which, and you
got opinion.
Speaker 2 (03:49):

Yeah, that's exactly very tricky there, Well done. Now you
say Sepia, I say cepia.

Interesting. Maybe it's a British American thing like era and
era could be Probably I'm just mister.

the clue?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
And the marker? It's a type of marker that happens
to be used in space because it can write in
zero gravity.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh goode.

Popular for signing autographs.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yes, I have used sharpies, So yes, sharpies. Very well done?
