A Puzzle !!!

See if you can work this one out?

I would guess 6 but I am terrible with these kinds of puzzles.

can think of lots of ways of getting 6... but I think tha's the point... :D

I'll go for 8

ok well that's clear enough... but in my defence, I don't really do that.. I prefer to get someone else to do it for me :p

You have a chauffeur, Handrawn? ;))

would that surprise you? ;)

Yeah, a bit because nowadays you don't see that too often. Way back, relatives of mine had a black Rover with chauffeur, all dressed up, and I found it quite intriguing.

It is R means reverse, this type of set-up can be seen on a manual transmission car. Did I get it right? :think:

my answer will pm you

Handrawn, you lucky .....!!! =D>

Rik, you even gave us a clue by using a font similar to the one used on gear knobs, and I still didn't get it until Frank posted "R" you serious ...

Good Challenge. Thank you.

Same as Keith, didn't get it until Frank posted. So that's me down on the Mensa List, not that I was ever on it :) Good puzzle Rik.

'Course you got a minor detail incorrect: it is I whose second name is James :p

It would be nice to be able to afford such a luxury I will admit... :cool: - but I just don't drive if I can avoid it, safer for everyone that way :-O and my 'chauffeuse' drives an automatic

Nothing wrong with James the Chauffeur driving you - James the Tycoon - around town.

[I just had an idea (ouch) -- Tesla should name their self-driving feature "James". Voice command would be "Home James" to get the car to take oneself home.]

it is bad enough having uncommon names activate things you don't want activated in error, using common names would just be asking for more trouble :D
