THE PUZZLE CORNER: JANUARY 7, 2012

Welcome back everybody! It's the first Puzzle Corner of 2012, so let's see how well everyone does. Ready?

THE FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE
This is just like a regular trivia question, only there are two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. And our question is
True or False: There really is/was a Chef Boyardee?

TRIVIA TIME
In the news this past week, a man was arrested after trying to spend a counterfeit One Million (U.S.) Dollar bill. What is the actual highest denomination of United States currency produced today?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX, and discover the results from December 31, 2011's Puzzle Corner on New Year's Eve concerning 2012.

What everyone will have in 2012 that they didn't have in 2011 is an extra day, for 2012 is a Leap Year.
