THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, except there are only two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?
TRUE OR FALSE: Television's original Mission: Impossible team consisted of master of disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau), femme fatale Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain), electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris), strong man Willy Armitage (Peter Lupis), and team leader Jim Phelps (Peter Graves).

We'll reveal all next weekend, but for now let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results of the September 10, 2016 Puzzle Corner.

FAMOUS FIRSTS

The very first Legend of Zelda game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

TRIVIA TIME
Who is the only musical act (to date) to have four number one albums within a span of twelve months?
The Monkees, circa 1980s
A LOT of people e-mailed this e-zine claiming that the question was too easy because the answer was The Beatles, but the CORRECT ANSWER IS The Monkees!
Their first four albums, starting with their debut record (The Monkees), along with More of The Monkees, Headquarters, and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, and Jones Ltd; were all number one during 1967!
