An odd one this week…..
There is a small town in California called Yreka. There is a little bakery in town that opens everyday at 8.30am and closes at 5.30pm. The bakery is world famous. Why?
I have produced an ebook containing 101 of the previous Friday Puzzles! It is called PUZZLED and is available for the Kindle (UK here and USA here) and on the iBookstore (UK here in the USA here). You can try 101 of the puzzles for free here.
Surely too easy?
You would have to be pretty backwards not to get this one
No matter which way i look at this i keep getting the same answer
Good one!
done in about 20 seconds
I suspected something, wikipedia confirmed my guess was right.
Clever use of reverse psychology
I guessed it quite quickly and then checked online. Good one!
I think I got it pretty quick-of course I could be wrong.
I like this one. Easy and solvable by simple inspection.
Is this bakery in the same town as Yerlla Gallery?
No. That would be in Yerlla.
Actually it would should be in Yrella
They make world famous upside down cakes?
Is it because puzzle questions about it tend to contain extraneous information?
I went shopping in a small town called Rehctu once. FIrst class meat products.
In Wedmore, Somerset, Baker is the butcher.
FWIW, the “world famous” bakery went out of business decades ago.
I got lost and entered a dark town called Lehtor. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into.
I went to California once. Ended up in a small town called Yrrau, where I got stoned.
Will be interested to see how much back and forth this causes on Monday.
Not really a puzzle. I got ‘it’ in a few seconds, but thought that there must be more than that or it wasn’t really a puzzle. There isn’t!
Even with the spoilers, I don’t get it… I see something odd, but that’s not the answer. (I hope)
it took a few secomds
Nope. Couldn’t see anything to figure out, knew Yreka is a real town, resorted to Wiki.
Should have waited until after coffee.
I also navigated straight to Wiki, found the relevant section in the article, then groaned upon realisation. I should have realised upon discovery there was nothing significant / unusual about the geography of the town that there’d be wordplay involved in the answer…
So obvious I thought it couldn’t be right.
According to Mr Wikipedia the bakery shut down sometime after 1974. Which goes to show that being world famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Being a palindrome wouldn’t make it world famous (the actual one never was). Also, it isn’t implied that the bakery is named after the town, most aren’t, thus the puzzle doesn’t work. Admit that you ran out of puzzles a long time ago and quit this charade.
Is it famous for it’s sekac?
Seka is a common girl’s name in Serbia, Croatia, etc. Someone of that name should go to somewhere Anglophone and set up a patisserie.
What happened to not giving the answer away?
It was traded in long ago for “LOOK AT ME PROFESSOR WISEMAN, I KNOW THE ANSWER, I KNOW I KNOW I’M THE SMARTEST KID IN CLASS!”
Alexander the Great died in 356 yet remains world famous.
As ever, please do NOT post your answers, but do say if you think you have solved the puzzle and how long it took. Solution on Monday!!!!
Yea! I agree with you Duncan!
What sorta bakery opens that late?
About 10 seconds, with 100% credit to Google
Another delightful, simple puzzle, thanks Richard
The answer was there instantly, but it’s still a delightful little brain workout, so thanks for that 
My guess was that Yreka was a deliberate misspelling of Eureka, but some googling taught otherwise.
“Everyday” is an ADJECTIVE. The adverb you wanted was “every day”.
Thank you.
