Although it's starting to turn a bit colder, the puzzles are nice and hot to keep our wits sharp. Ready?
COMMON BONDS
The items in each subset have something in common. Do you know what it is?
01. {Westworld (1973), Sleepless in Seattle (1993)} and we do know they are both movies.
02. {Wonder Woman, Captain America} and we do know they are both superhero/comic book characters.
THE 50/50 CHANCE
This is just like a regular trivia question, except there are only two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?
Is QUINCUNX a good thing or a bad thing?
We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results of the September 7, 2013 Puzzle Corner.
TRIVIA TIME
What was the tallest mountain in the world before Mount Everest?
Technically, just because it hadn't been discovered yet doesn't mean that there was a mountain taller than Everest, but at the time Mount Kita was the known tallest.
THE LETTER SHUFFLE
We're going to try something a bit different in this edition. All the answers to the clues will involve the same 5 letters, but not every answer will use all the letters!
If you get enough answers early, you'll know what 5 letters are involved, and in the spirit of fairness, all the answers will be in alphabetical order.
Ready?
01. Time? = AGE (Era would throw off everything being in alphabetical order, but is possible with the five letters in play; which were A, E, G, L <and> R)
02. Exist? = ARE
03. Cog? = GEAR
04. Unwanted brightness? = GLARE
05. A beer? = LAGER
06. A size? = LARGE
07. Factual? = REAL
08. Royal? = REGAL
