Anyone can find the solutions to these two riddles, using Google....
However, both solutions scattered around the web (IMHO) are very unclear?!
Can anyone *clarify* the answers please?
1. The License Plate on my car is ML8-ML8. What is the color and model of my car?
2. A car has a licence plate: T-A-N 2-7-0. What make of car is the license plate attached to?

"I'm Late! I'm Late!" said the White Rabbit as he scurried down the hole.

The tangent of 270 degrees does not exist, or in other words, it is infinity.

TX.
I was not aware that the VW Golf was called a rabbit in the USA?
The solution I read to the second one was quite cryptic and here too, I did not relate it to a model of car called and Infiniti. (We don't have that model here in RSA).

Re: Licence Plates
From Volkswagen Golf - Wikipedia:
The Volkswagen Golf is a compact car produced by the German manufacturer Volkswagen since 1974, marketed worldwide across seven generations, in various body configurations and under various nameplates – as the Volkswagen Rabbit in the United States and Canada (Mk1 and Mk5), and as the Volkswagen Caribe in Mexico (Mk1).
