The CVCS Science Olympiad team took Silver
City by storm last Saturday with a stunning first
place victory. Coach Ms. McSherry said, “The
entire group worked hard for months to earn all
those medals. Now we have to step it up a
notch—the CVCS team has improved each year,
so our goal at the State Science Olympiad at
Tech in four weeks is to make the top 10.” She
would also like to thank the parents and the
volunteer coaches for their time and dedication
toward the success of the team, and the
generous monetary donations received.

I'm in a zoo
But not in a jungle
I rarely come in pairs
But I'm in every puzzle
Some think I'm in a xylophone
But, I most certainly am not
You don't see me with a loan
But very strangely in a zealot
I'm in the magical prison of Azkaban
Well, can't you see?
I'm in the buzz of a fan
But, my oh my what could I be?
Answer: ______________
4.
I'm often seen around a lot, referred to many ways,
See me black and you may find misfortune haunts your days.
Tell a thing, that should have been kept quiet, to all around,
Then look inside the sack, there I'm no longer to be found.
Nosiness, prying, snooping, leaves me fearing, full of dread,
For all these things are likely to see me soon lying dead.
These clues combined should start to give a picture, an idea,
Of who or what I am, so can you tell me? Is it clear?
Answer: ______________
