Paul Lynde, by the way, was not always the center square, as he didn't become the permanent occupant of that space until October 1968. Before Lynde the permanent center square, comedian Buddy Hackett was the most common celebrity to sit in the center square (on the nighttime edition in 1968). Lynde was the center square on nearly every broadcast until he left in August 1979; he returned to the center square for a part of the 1980-1981 Las Vegas syndicated season and was a special guest for the final syndicated episode in June 1981. Ernest Borgnine was the center square during the debut weekday of October 17-21, 1966, while Wayland Flowers & Madame was the NBC daytime show's last center square on the weekday of June 16-20, 1980 and George Gobel was the last syndicated-version center square. http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2561/The_Hollywood_Squares_1966/ Feb 08 05, 2:18 AM

Who is Square's center square? There is a square with one side being 4 units long. Another square is constructed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the first square. Another square is constructed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of the second square, and again with this one, and again with all other squares generated. There will be an infinite number of squares. What is their combined area? When was the Ed Sullivan Show first aired in color? When was the first "infomercial" aired, and what did it sell?
