This week’s question: To safeguard the top-secret recipe for its signature lubricant, the company behind WD-40 keeps only one handwritten copy of the full-formula, which is stored in a lockbox in a San Diego bank vault. If Hollywood were to make a heist movie in which robbers try to steal the formula for the anti-squeaking serum, what would it be titled?
