Can you help customer fix his car?
cowboy eating ice cream and car does not start puzzle
A customer bought a new car, he always used to go to a particular ice-cream shop. he doesn’t have any problem whenever he eats vanilla ice-cream but when he eats strawberry ice-cream the car will have starting trouble. He reported this to the car company the mechanical checked and reported that the car has no problem. The next day customer got the same problem when he ate strawberry ice-cream at last an intelligent mechanical found out the reason.
Can u guess what?

When the mechanic analyzed his collected data, he found a pattern. The owner took less time to return to his car whenever he bought vanilla ice cream. Vanilla being a popular flavor was sold at the front of the store for quick pickups, while all other flavors were sold at the back where it took a long time to buy and check out.
He’d found the car’s “vanilla allergy.”
He reframed the question at hand. Instead of asking, “Why the car wouldn’t start if I bought a vanilla ice-cream,” he asked, “Why the car wouldn’t start if I took less time to come back?” That’s where he found the answer – Vapor Lock.
When the customer bought vanilla ice-cream, he returned quickly, and hence the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate. When he bought any other flavor, the engine had sufficient time to cool down.

I think its about the sensors in the car, they have their thresholds set above the frequency of colour of strawberry ice-cream…
Hi the ans is vapour lock
As vanilla is selled more hence it is kept near and time required is less!
And for strawberry more times is required hence when he takes vanilla he starts car in just few moments after reaching to shop
But for strawberry as time is more vapour lock takes place and car got starting problem
Its a real world problem and it actually happened. It has to do with heating problem of car and not because of icecream.
it’s the straw that broke the camel’s back
Strawberry flavor is generally preferred by women. While having strawberry ice cream he must be with his girl friend or wife and it must take him long to come back. By the time he comes back, cars engine used to get cooled and hence he must be facing trouble in starting it again.
its not about the flavour..but the time to buy the flavour i think. The store must be having a quick delivery counter for vanila flavour as its the most popular product. The car must have got some heating problem, so wenever the customer buys vanila the car does not get sufficient time to cool down.
