THE PUZZLE CORNER: FEBRUARY 13, 2016

FUN FACT
The human brain is only 2% of your body weight, but uses at least 20% of your energy!

Normally, we would run the IS YOU IS, OR IS YOU AIN'T MY BABY quiz for Valentine's Day, and our FAMOUS FIRSTS: PRESIDENTS quiz the following weekend for Presidents Day here in the United States.
However, both events are occurring with 24 hours of each other this year!
So we've combined the two enigmas.
Below, alphabetically, are ten US Presidents and the maiden names of their first ladies.
Can you match each historic couple accurately?

THE PRESIDENTS
01. John Adams
02. John Quincy Adams
03. William Henry Harrison
04. Thomas Jefferson
05. James Madison
06. James Monroe
07. Franklin Pierce
08. James Polk
09. Zachary Taylor
10. Martin Van Buren

THE LADIES
A. Jane Appleton
B. Sarah Childress
C. Hannah Hoes
D. Louisa Johnson
E. Elizabeth Kortright
F. Abigail Smith
G. Margaret Smith
H. Anna Symes
I. Dolley Todd
J. Martha Wagles

We'll reveal all next weekend, weather permitting.
Now, due to bad weather February 6th, here are the results from our Puzzle Corner of January 30th, 2016.
