On this day in 1903, the Wright Brothers achieve a technological triumph: the first ‘controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight.’

‘First successful flight of the Wright Flyer, by the Wright brothers. The machine traveled 120 ft (36.6 m) in 12 seconds at 10:35 a.m. at Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Orville Wright was at the controls of the machine, lying prone on the lower wing with his hips in the cradle which operated the wing-warping mechanism. Wilbur Wright ran alongside to balance the machine, and just released his hold on the forward upright of the right wing in the photo. The starting rail, the wing-rest, a coil box, and other items needed for flight preparation are visible behind the machine. This is described as “the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air, powered flight” by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale’ via Wikipedia

Here’s Puzzability’s puzzle for Tuesday:

This Week’s Game — December 16-20
Do You Hear What I Hear?
Hark, the puzzling angels sing. For each day this week, we started with a well-known lyric from a Christmas carol. Then, for the day’s clue, we broke it down into a series of words that, when said in order, sounds like the original lyric. You’ll probably need to say the words out loud to get the answers.
Example:
Easy, shoe, veinier, cell, he, pink
Answer:
He sees you when you’re sleeping (from “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”)
What to Submit:
Submit the lyric (as “He sees you when you’re sleeping” in the example) for your answer.
