THE PUZZLE CORNER: FEBRUARY 2, 2013

Another weekend is upon us, and puzzle lovers know what that means!

TRIVIA TIME
A famous musical duo decided to work under their first names instead of their last names: Stuart and Clyde. Who are they?

THE FIFTY-FIFTY CHANCE
Just like a regular Trivia Time question, only there are just two possible answers, so a fair chance of getting it right.
True/False or Yes/No, depending upon your preference: The iconic blue bird of Twitter has a name.

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of January 26th's Puzzle Corner.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Within the letters of INAUGURATION, you can find the following words:
A, again, ago, air, airing, an, ant,art, art
Gain, gait, gin, gnat, gnu, go, got, grain, groan, grunt, gun, gut
