THE PUZZLE CORNER: SEPTEMBER 7, 2013

And we're back with more puzzles to entertain and delight you!

Do you know?
TRIVIA TIME
What was the tallest mountain in the world before Mount Everest?

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?
02. Exist?
03. Cog?
04. Unwanted brightness?
05. A beer?
06. A size?
07. Factual?
08. Royal?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's peek inside THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from the August 31, 2013 Puzzle Corner.

And the answers are...
MISQUOTED?
This is the debut of a BRAND NEW GAME! A famous quote is repeated below, or is it?
All you have to do is say whether or not the quote is accurate. Ready?

From the 1977 movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind:
"We are ready on the dark side of the moon. Play the five notes."


This IS MISQUOTED! The correct line is "If we are ready on the dark side of the moon, play the five tones." While some disagree about the opening, it has always been tones, not notes.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate things have been combined to create a new item. Can you figure out what it is, based upon the clue below?

Celebrations of life on a daytime soap opera? = Happy Birthdays of our lives
