This is a quickie but don't look it up too quickly. Innensechskantschraube, Bauer und Schaurte = Zeta. Of what am I talking?

I happen to speak fluent jibberish. You are giving us the formula for Coke.

So, I suppose, since it is close to Halloween if someone answers too early you will put a hex on them? In that case, I am staying as far away from the answer as I possibly can.

Monday answer

This trivia is a bit easier. Jim gets a gold star for his forehead. John mentioned the alphabet part but no connection to the answer. It is the key to knock down furniture. It is the common �Allen� wrench. Which it really isn�t, as it is really the Brugola (Edigio Brugola- inventor) wrench which is Italian from about the mid 1920�s. It is also the zeta wrench (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, zeta � sixth Greek alphabet letter, leading to hex, six sides, etc.). The Germans in the mid 1930�s had the Inbus which indicates the firm Bauer und Schaurte, which is shot for the name I refuse to spell again from the original question. Norway and other English speaking places that L shaped wrench is the Unbraco. Allen Mfg. in the U.S. made them starting in 1943. I like the Swedes. They call them insexnycle. � I need a larger insexnycle.� Nowadays they just say Ikea wrench as the correct name might be a bad international marketing move.
