I got the Sunday puzzle! I got the Sunday puzzle!
So, I was listening to NPR this morning, because I'm an insufferable prick, and the Sunday puzzle (with Will Shortz!) came on. As usual, I had not solved the puzzle from the week before, and also as usual, I missed the part where he explained the "rules" of this week's on-air puzzle, meaning I have no idea what the connection is between "witness tampering" and "cross talk". However! Then it came time for next week's puzzle, and I prepared to listen to the question and then go "durrrrrrrrr", but
I GOT IT! I GOT THE ANSWER!
Granted, the puzzle this week was riDIculously easy, but still! I got it!
Wanna try?
Name a product with the initials NPR. This product is usually purchased by women.
Go!

oooh I totally know that!
not going to put it in here because I don't want to spoil others who read the comments.
Congrats, spiffi!
Got it. (I'm like you. I never get the Sunday puzzler.) - bridgett
Yay, Bridgett!
One time I actually got the answer to the Car Talk puzzler. And another time or two, I got the Final Jeopardy answer when none of the on-air contestants did.
Once every fifteen years or so, I'm suddenly brilliant.
Sigh. I was hoping someone would tell me the answer. I tend to overthink. I got hung up on wondering whether N.P.R. would stand for the generic descriptor, or the trademark name, and got no further.
It's the generic descriptor. Think manicure. - bridgett
Ahah! Thank you, Bridgett. got it.
