    Can't tell you the country or 2 of the auto makers, but I'm thinking the 3rd must be Kia.

    Gonna play a little bit of catch up this week, so I'll post two :).

    Think of a word that can follow the word "peanut" to form a familiar two-word phrase. If you take the first letter and move it to the next-to-the-last position, you get another word that can also follow "peanut" to form another familiar two-word phrase. What are the words?

    LOL. yea it was too easy :p

    Part 2: Name something you might wear in the summer. The answer will have two words, with five letters in the first word and three letters in the second. Remove the next-to-last letter and read the result backward and you'll get a word that means "blocks." What words are these?

    This Week's Challenge: Take a common three-letter word, move each letter three places later in the alphabet, the resulting letters can be re-arranged to spell a new word that is a synonym of the original. What are the two words? And here's a hint: all three letters in both words are in the first half of the alphabet.

    Answer: See Post Below :p

    What can I say I can't help it :p.
    Actually, I tend to only sit and do puzzles when I'm procrastinating. Today I needed distracting from cleaning.
