THE PUZZLE CORNER: MAY 16, 2015

FUN FACT
When numerically noted in the standard format (month, date, year) May 10th through 19th are palindromes. 5/10/15 = 5/10/15, 5/11/15 = 5/11/15, etc.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate things share at least one word in common, and can be combined to form something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what it is?

Oriental breakfast delicacy?

THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, only there are two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

Astronauts can see the Great Wall of China from the surface of the Moon.

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from the May 9, 2015 Mothers' Day themed Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME
Who originally created the concept of Mother's Day in America?
Anna Jarvis, out of respect for her recently deceased mother, although she later tried to get the event rescinded because it was becoming too commercial.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many new words can you find with the letters of the word MOTHER?

He, hem, her, hero, home, hot
Me, met, metro, more, moth
Oh, or, ore, other
Roe, rom, Rome
The, to, tome, tor, tore

More than the 23 listed above might be possible.
