THE PUZZLE CORNER: APRIL 9, 2011

Another weekend is upon us, and puzzle fans know what that means on this website.

THE FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE
This is just like a regular trivia question, but there are only two possible answers, hence an even chance of getting it right. Ready?
On a recent tour stop, Charlie Sheen announced that he is "available" to return to the sitcom Two and a Half Men. The question is: Has Sheen ever worked with Men co-star Jon Cryer BEFORE that series?

BEFORE AND AFTER
A new feature for The Puzzle Corner! The clue below unites two different things at their common words to make a longer thing. Ready?

In this book, Mister Toad went to Tara.

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek into THE ANSWER BOX and discover the results from April 2's Puzzle Corner.

REBUS
Loving Cup (Love in CUP), an award at some sports tournaments.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Out of the letters in the words PLAY BALL, you can make the following words: a, ab (a body muscle), all, baa (an animal noise), bay, la (a musical note), lab (short for laboratory), lap, la (a musical note), pal, pall (a funeral cloth), pay, (and) yap (another animal noise).
Play and Ball are not eligible individually. Also not eligible are ALP and PA, but other words besides the 13 above might be possible.
