At Viking Auto Salvage we like to have a little bit of fun each month by including a quiz with our monthly statement.  Each month a riddle, conundrum, puzzle, or trivia question is posed and a prize offered to solve it.

 

Now, it isn't the first person to answer it correctly that wins. What we do is to take all the correct answers and draw a winner.  We do this on the 15th of each month. So, if you think you know the answer, write it down on the area provided and send it in with your payment. We will announce the winner in the next month's statement, as well as posting the correct answer here on our web site.

 

To all of you who participate, we would like to say "Thank You!" for choosing us as your recycled parts provider.

 

 

APRIL 2008 STATEMENT ANSWER AND WINNER:

The winner:   Dawn from B & M Auto Parts of Waukesha, WI wins:

 

a $50 gift card to Outback Steakhouse!

 

We asked you to identify what all these words have in common:

 

Banana

Dresser

Grammar

Potato

Uneven

 

The technical term, as many of you correctly identified, is “Palindrome”.  If you take the first letter off the front and put it onto the end, the word spelled backwards is the same as when you started.  Kind of cool, don’t you think?

 

There were many more explanations as to what these words have in common, some so convoluted as to defy explanation here.  But, since many of you were correct, and since we drew a winner, all we can say is:

 

Thanks to all who entered.  Congratulations to Dawn for winning.  Those of you who entered, but didn’t win, don’t forget to try again next month. 

 

There’s a winner every month; it might as well be you!
