THE PUZZLE CORNER: JULY 5, 2014

FUN FACT
In honor of this being the 4th of July weekend here in America, everyone knows the original 13 colonies, but the next to join the United States was Vermont in March of 1791.

COMMON BONDS
The items listed in each subset below have something in common.
Do you know what it is?

01. {Torme, Blanc}
02. {Cassidy, Beckham}
03. {Groups 1 and 2}

FAMOUS FIRSTS
What was the first hit single for the musical group Chicago?

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of the June 28, 2014 Puzzle Corner.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
Using only the same 3 letters to make 4 letter words because one letter was used twice in each answer, based upon the clues below, our words were:

01. Another possible word for Obi? SASH
02. Food? HASH
03. Persian ruler? SHAH
04. Pleasant sounds? AAHS

BONUS!
Since the above involved the letters A, H, and S, the two 3 letter words possible were ASH and HAS.

THE 50/50 CHANCE
True or false: There are 7 song titles, one featuring each day of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday).
ANSWER: The way the question is worded, FALSE!
Thursday has no song (as of July 1, 2014), there are 2 songs for Monday and 4 for Saturday, that we know of.

Pleasant Valley SUNDAY by The Monkees
MONDAY, MONDAY by The Mamas and the Papas
Manic MONDAY by The Bangles
Ruby TUESDAY by The Rolling Stones
WEDNESDAY Morning, 3am by (Paul) Simon and (Art) Garfunkel
Thank God It's FRIDAY by Love and Kisses from the 1978 movie soundtrack
SATURDAY in the Park by Chicago
S.A.T.U.R.D.A.Y. Night by The Bay City Rollers
