We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's look inside THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from the September 14, 2013 Puzzle Corner.

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.

Both films were directed by their book's authors. Westworld by Michael Crichton and Sleepless in Seattle by Nora Ephron.
02. {Wonder Woman, Captain America} and we do know they are both superhero/comic book characters.

Both started their careers in 1941, but before the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States entry into World War Two.

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?


GOOD, because Quincunx is the formal term for the arrangement of five dots, usually found on the fifth side of a six sided dice.
