A Puzzler of Olympic Proportions
The long jump was a hint, because that's one of the events in the decathlon.
Do we have a winner?
TOM: Yeah, we do. The winner is John Spaulding from Prospect, Kentucky. And for having his answer selected at random from among all those correct answers that we got, John gets a 26-dollar gift certificate to the Shameless Commerce Division at cartalk.com with which he can pick up a brand-new Car Talk baseball jersey. It's black and gray with three-quarter-length sleeves, and Car Talk Plaza written in baseball-type script. It's actually a very, very nice shirt.
RAY: Really? How did that happen?
TOM: They cut us completely out of the approval loop.
