THE PUZZLE CORNER: JANUARY 11, 2020

😎FUN FACT
Red blood cells are produced in/by bone marrow.

RHYME TIME⌛
The clue to something is below, but no matter how long your answer is, each word within it must rhyme. Ready?
A woman’s possible answer to the question: “Are you pregnant?”

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.
How many sweat glands can you find in one square inch of human skin?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the January 4, 2020 Puzzle Corner.

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many new words can you form out of the letters in NEW YEAR?
A, an, any, are, aye
Ear, earn, ewe, eye
Nay, nee, near
Ran, raw, ray, renew
War, ware, warn, way, wean, wear, weary, were, wren
Yarn, yaw, yawn, yea, yearn
New and Year don’t count because they were part of the original phrase. Other words than the 30 listed above might be possible.

COMMON BONDS
The items in each subset below have something in common. Do you know what it is?
01. {♫Tracy♫ by The Cuff Links, ♫Sugar Sugar♫ by The Archies}
Both were actually performed by singer Ron Dante. Being one hit wonders does NOT qualify because ♫Sugar Sugar♫ was actually the third of five releases for The Archies with ♫Jingle Jangle♫ also a Top 10 hit for them.
02. {Strawberry Alarm Clock, Lynyrd Skynyrd} = singer/songwriter/guitarist Ed King was a member of both groups.
Don't feel too bad if you couldn't correctly answer the last one, for a lot of people were thrown off by the items in that subset.
