Fans discuss unexplained plot elements and mysteries from Seinfeld episodes, including the pie refusal, the contest winner, and other unresolved storylines left without explanation.
Can anyone remind me of so called "unsolved mysteries" in seinfeld, where wierd things don't get explained even at the end of the episode?
4 example: The one who didn't want to eat the pie, just said no with her head... that was never explained.
Can anyone give me others?

Why not start with the probably most discussed topic in this NG:
Who won the contest?

Isn't it obvious who won after the final episode? George confessed that he cheated, which meant that George was declared the winner, but Jerry was actually the one who could go the longest "without gratifying himself", as the virgin put it.
That's true, Chris. But if you read the original message from Ron Nehemia a little closer you will see that he wanted mysteries that weren't explain even at the end of the EPISODE. Learn to read, mojambo!

Now that you mention it, it did say 'end of the episode' - on the other hand, how many mysteries have they explained in later episodes? The contest was an unsolved one, and now it's solved.
I've considered that, but I've been told reading is a right bugger to learn.

Well in "The Puffy Shirt", George admitted to winning the contest.

Yes, but in the final episode, George admitted that he cheated. So Jerry won.
What about these:
Jerry's and George's siblings...mentioned early in he series, but never seen or mentioned again.
Kramer's source of income.
George dated a lot of attractive women. Are the single women of New York really that desperate?
Mr Wilhelm had some crazy promotional idea for the Yankees that George was blamed for. It had some connection to the Petulla Clark song ``Downtown,'' but we never found out what this was.
How about why they never told us Newman's full name or why he hates Jerry
Better yet, if you recall the episode when George's hands are in the commercial they ask him if he does that, and he replies, "oh no, I even won a contest!"
How about the episode where Jerry's girlfriend always wore the same outfit... did they explain that one?
George did coz it was mentioned in a later episode. Tomas wrote in message ...

No he didn't, he admitted to cheating in the last episode.
oh, yeah, there's also the assignment Wilhelm gave to George...we never find out what it was.
For the message farther up the thread, Kramer's source of income in some what mentioned or implied when he was called back to work at that bagel place. He was on strike for 12 years and must have been receiving strike pay...this is the only way I can see it!

Okay, how about:
What happened to Mr. Dalrymple?

strike involved not getting paid. After all, if you are protesting against those who pay you by not working, why would they keep paying you? Don't people on strike tend to find temporary work to support themselves throughout the strike?

What happened to Elaine's phone repair guy in The Maid?
Strike Pay is disbursed by the union and from union funds during a strike/lockout. In theory a portion of union dues are designated for a strike fund and used as needed. Relative to what the wage is, strike pay isnt enough for the labourer to live on, though Kramer is an excellent moocher.
Heres a mystery,
In the Statue, Jerry accused Ray of stealing his grandfathers statue. Of course all the evidence does point to ray stealing the statue, but he so vehemently denies it, The mystery is, did he really steal the statue?
It may just be my personal take on that episode, but wasn't there something said at the end about planting rose bushes(or something like that), where Wilhelm tells his wife what a good job George did on planting the bushes, and she tells him that he actually did it.
Not sure...but maybe!

Wilhelm comments to his wife that the gardener did a good job with the roses, and she informs him that HE actually planted them. This is our first clue that all is not right between Wilhelm's ears. George had nothing to do with the roses.
Nah. It was the gardener that planted the rose bushes, not George. That scene was just included to show how absent-minded Wilhelm had gotten when he didn't take his medication. We can figure out from that that Wilhelm actually completed "the project" and submitted it, but did not remember having done it. So George got the credit (and the punishment) for doing it, but we never actually find out what the project entailed. All we really know is that it involved Payroll and George had to go 'downtown'. All else is speculation.

What did Jerry's MOVE consist of?
The MOVE sounded strangely like Stuart's BUTTERFLY on LA LAW some years ago. Maybe just that they were never explained except for the "twirl"!! LOL Jane

Here is something. Why does Newman hate Jerry? Does Newman have a last name?
In "Daiymo" writes:
I think that the assumption is that "Newman" *is* his last name. We just don't know his first name (like Kramer, until we found out his first name). The business card that he flashed in the mail fraud episode said only "Newman."
One of my friends thinks that his real name is "Norman" because that's what the farmer's daughter in the bottle-deposit episode calls him, but I'm pretty sure that this was just a joke on the slow-wittedness of the farmer's daughter.

*****LAST EPISODE SPOILER****I may have imagined it, but didn't Jerry want to tell Elaine something when they all thought they were going to die in the plane? Maybe it was something similar to what Elaine wanted to tell him....
