RHYME TIME
The clue to something is below, but no matter how long your answer is, every word within it must rhyme. Ready?

Seriously overused part of speech?

TRIVIA TIME
Everyone knows George Michael got his big break as a member of Wham! But who else was in the group?

We’ll reveal all next weekend, but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX and discover the results from the March 4, 2017 Puzzle Corner.

THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, only there are just 2 possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

TRUE OR FALSE: A touchdown in American Football is worth 7 points.
FALSE! The touchdown is only worth 6 points. The extra is earned from a successful field goal attempt or if you make a successful 2 point conversion.
