Anyone remember Bumper Stumpers? If you weren't watching TV in the 1980's, you can see what you missed here. I didn't watch it religiously, but when it was on I enjoyed trying to solve the puzzles before the contestants did.
I recently gave myself a fun challenge: make up a Bumper Stumpers style license plate puzzle based on each of the 50 states and Washington DC. I limited myself to 7 characters, the maximum number of letters and numbers allowed on a license plate in California. I tried to make it so each plate could only be one state. For example, PACIFIC is 7 characters long, but it could refer to California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, or Hawaii. Likewise, MIDWEST or POPULAR or BEACHES would not work for my challenge because the answer could be multiple states.
I've divided the challenge into three parts, each with 17 license plates. See how you do with today's batch.
