THE PUZZLE CORNER: FEBRUARY 17, 2024

 😎FUN FACT
February 29 is Leap Year and Superman’s Kryptonian Birth Date, translated to Earth based calendars.

FAMOUS FIRSTS🥇
Who invented the first artificial heart💗?

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.
A grandfather, a father, a son and a grandson each wanted a sandwich for lunch. How many did they fix?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the very belated results from the December 23, 2023 Puzzle Corner because of our unfortunate computer crash.

THE 50/50 CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, except there are just two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?
TRUE or FALSE: the Christmas song ♫I Want A Hippopotamus🦛 For Christmas♫ was recorded as a fund raiser for a local zoo.
FALSE, although a local radio station did donate a baby hippo to the Oklahoma City Zoo the following year since singer Gayla Peevey lived there.

TRIVIA TIME
With everything that has been on TV this holiday season, only 3 specials have the unique distinction of being aired EVERY year since their debut! Can you identify this trio? 
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer 🦌since 1964, the Chuck Jones animated version of Doctor Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas since 1966 and Frosty the Snowman⛄ since 1969. Until the entire Peanuts’ collection went exclusive to streaming on Apple TV in 2021, A Charlie Brown Christmas had been in the running since 1965.
