THE PUZZLE CORNER: JULY 3, 2010

It's a holiday weekend in the United States of America as we celebrate our Independence as a free country, but hopefully our minds are not on vacation as we ponder these conundrums.

FAMOUS FIRSTS
The following is the first line from a well known book. Do you know what it is?

"It was an odd-looking vine."

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Since we in America are celebrating it this weekend, how many words can you make out of the letters in INDEPENDENCE?

We'll have the results next weekend.
