THE PUZZLE CORNER: MAY 27, 2023

 ðŸ˜ŽFUN FACT
Although June 1938 is the cover date for Action Comics #1 and the debut of Superman, the issue actually hit news stands months before that as part of the publishing industry’s original dating practice to get as much shelf time as possible for any magazine.

TRIVIA TIME
Who created Superman?

WHO ARE WE?
Can you identify the people (real or fictitious) based upon the clue below?
We completed the first successful ascent of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953; making 2023 the 70th anniversary of that historic event.

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the May 20, 2023 Puzzle Corner.

BEFORE AND AFTER
Two separate items share at least one word, and so can be combined to create something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what the new thing is?
The Rocket Man soars Rocky Mountain high. = Elton John Denver.

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?
Which came first? ♫Witch Doctor♫ or ♫The Chipmunk Song (Please Christmas Don’t Be Late)♫
ANSWER: ♫Witch Doctor♫. While David Seville (aka Ross Bagdasarian Senior) created what would become their unique voices for that song; Alvin, Simon and Theodore came later, although there is an official Chipmunks’ version of ♫Witch Doctor♫.
