THE PUZZLE CORNER: OCTOBER 2, 2010

Well, unfortunately we were unable to get online before now due to the remnants of Tropical Storm Nichole knocking out our electrical service. The Free Choice E-zine apologizes for any inconvenience to our readers.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Since the regular season is ending, how many words can you spell out of my favorite sport: BASEBALL?

COMMON BONDS
The following groups have something in common. Do you know what it is?

01. {Wilbur Post, Scrooge McDuck}
02. {Kenneth W. Dantley, Junior; The Joker}
03. {Group 1 and 2}

We'll have the results for you (hopefully on time, weather permitting) next weekend. Meanwhile, let's peek into THE ANSWERS BOX for the results from last weekend's Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
While the most points you can earn in the basic PC version of Solitaire is 745, the average score is 645 because it is a rare event to win without having to restart the deck at least once, which deducts 100 points from your score.

FAMOUS FIRSTS
The quote was the opening line from The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, the first book in THE CAT WHO series of mysteries by Lilian Jackson Braun.
