THE PUZZLE CORNER: MAY 26, 2012

This is the Memorial Day weekend in the United States, but the date is a LOT more than just the start of summer!
REMEMBER!
How much do you really know about this important weekend?
Let's find out.

01. What was Memorial Day originally known as?
02. When did the Memorial Day tradition start?
03. Why was the last Monday in May originally chosen for the observance?
04. When did Memorial Day become an official holiday in the United States?
05. Who was President of the United States at the time?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's open THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from May 19's Puzzle Corner.

BEFORE AND AFTER
The clue was: Let's Make A Deal host forms a musical duet.
We received a LOT of e-mails from confused people trying to figure out the answer, based upon current game show host Wayne Brady.
But the ORIGINAL Let's Make A Deal host was Monty Hall, which makes the answer Monty Hall and Oates!

REBUS

LOT
