RAY: Here's the answer to last week's puzzler.

TOM: You can't give the answer until you tell us the question.

RAY: Well, I'm going to give you the -- I always give the question.

TOM: Oh, OK.

RAY: I give the question, and --

TOM: And then the answer.

RAY: How long you've been here? Here it is. It was brief. It was really quick. I mean it was beautiful because it was succinct, to the point, it was interesting, and it just had all the elements of a great puzzler, I thought.

TOM: Yeah. Go on. Just give me the first couple of words and I'll know it.

RAY: A man. Goes.

TOM: Goes to a hardware store.

RAY: To purchase something for his house.

TOM: I'm proud of myself.

RAY: You peeked.

TOM: I didn't.

RAY: He asked the clerk, "How much is one?" The clerk says, "60 cents." The guy says, "OK. How bout twelve?" The clerk says, "Well, a dollar twenty." The guys says, "OK, in that case I'll take 200." And the clerk says, "That'll be a dollar eighty." So what's he buying. So one costs 60 cents. Twelve costs a $1.20, and he got 200 for a $1.80.

TOM: The quality must have gone down though.

RAY: Well, he's getting a quantity discount.

TOM: You talk about quantity discounts. That's a quantity discount.

RAY: Pretty good, huh. We could have gotten 900 for a $1.80. Or 999.

TOM: But not a thousand.

RAY: But not a thousand. That's right. So what he was buying was house numbers. And who's our winner this week, Tommy?

TOM: Wow, that's a good one. I mean there are millions of high school and grammar school students at this moment saying how come I didn't get that. Or they're saying those guys are jerks. And the winner, and one of the people who said we were jerks, is Dianne Weaver from Houston, Texas.
