You may not have to pay your taxes to become Treasury secretary, but you need to understand how button puzzles work if you want to be the ScuttleButton winner. There's no two ways about that.

And you start by taking one word or one concept per button to arrive at a saying or a name.

I did give you a hint on this one. Usually the buttons are assembled vertically. This time, two of them were displayed horizontally, and I told you that that indicated the word I was looking for was plural.

The buttons from last week, in case you forgot:

Kennedy for President (with a picture of JFK)

below that, two other Kennedy for President buttons (both with a picture of RFK)

A surprisingly large number of folks guessed the punk rock group "Dead Kennedys." One, I wouldn't be that crass in doing the puzzle. But if that were the answer, why one JFK and two RFKs?

So ... when you add JFK with two RFKs, you get ...

John Roberts!

(Yes, the chief justice. And please don't ask me to allow a do-over, even though we allowed him to do one. Though I did like the response from David Zuckerman of Baltimore, who, when told he got it wrong on his initial guess, wrote, "It's only fitting that I bungled the first attempt.")

Anyway, the winner, selected at random among the correct responders, is (drum roll) ... Robin Winning of Santa Rosa, Calif.

They don't call her Robin Winning for nothing.
