THE PUZZLE CORNER: JULY 13, 2019

😎FUN FACT
Out of the water, a group of penguins🐧is called a waddle, presumably based upon the way they walk.

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.
What was the first number retired in Major League Baseball⚾ history?

TRIVIA TIME⌚
What is a pangram?

We’ll reveal all next weekend, but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the July 6, 2019 Puzzle Corner.

COMMON BONDS
The items in each subset below have something in common. Do you know what it is?
01. {Wally Cox, Adam West} and we are not going for the obvious.
The obvious would be actors who have played superheroes, Underdog and Batman, respectively. But the answer we were going for is both guest starred in an episode of Alias Smith and Jones entitled “The Men Who Corrupted Hadleyburg”, even sharing a scene together, making that the closest the world will ever come to an Underdog-Batman team up outside of a comic book.
02. {Glen, Neve} = the surname Campbell.

FAMOUS FIRSTS🥇
What is the biggest (as of June 2019) one hit wonder of all time?
It’s actually a tie between Survivor’s ♫Eye of the Tiger♫ and ♫Somebody That I Used To Know♫ by Goyte, featuring Kimbra. Both songs have achieved Platinum status EIGHT TIMES so far.
