Considering what April 24 is this year, we have a specially themed Puzzle Corner for you this weekend.
So sharpen those wits and hop to it!
TRIVIA TIME
Everyone knows the Irving Berlin song Easter Parade. But when did it make its MOVIE debut?
THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many words can you make out of the letters in that holiday tradition: EASTER EGG HUNT?
(NOTE: The three words individually or together do NOT count!)
We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's take a peek in THE ANSWERSBOX BASKET, and reveal the results from the April 16th Puzzle Corner.
TRIVIA TIME
The question was: What program first theorized the possibility of rechargeable batteries?
I received a lot of e-mail guesses to it being the original versions of either Lost In Space (1965-1968) or Star Trek (1966-1969).
But it was actually Gilligan's Island! (1964-1967)
Professor Roy Hinkley (portrayed by Russell Johnson) was always finding ways to keep the batteries in the transistor radio the castaways had going.
REBUS
So, what was represented by the image on the left?
While it is a photograph from an actual school science project I found on the Internet, the project was based upon the song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor (On The Bedpost Overnight)?"
Recorded by Lonnie Donegan and His Skiffle Group, it peaked at number three on the United Kingdom record charts in 1959, and made it to number five on the United States record charts in 1961.
So sharpen those wits and hop to it!
