Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Here's a worked example: Q - Belonging to an African country (capital Dodoma) plus a reference book containing synonyms of words. A - Tanzanian thesaurus (Both words will always start with the same letter) If you think you are ready to go here's question 1: Belonging to a European Country (capital Brussels) plus a book containing gospels and psalms.

Answer: Belgian bible

The gospels are the first four books starting the New Testament of the bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

2. Belonging to a North American country (capital Ottawa) plus an itemised list of book titles.

Answer: Canadian catalogue

A catalogue/catalog is an itemised list of things and is most commonly known in libraries - as a listing and organisation 'system' for book titles.

3. Belonging to a European country (capital Copenhagen) plus a book containing words and their definitions.

Answer: Danish dictionary

A dictionary not only contains definitions of words but more detailed versions will contain the etymology, pronunciation and phonetics of a word.

4. Belonging to a Pacific Island country (capital Suva) plus an binder containing loose papers arranged in order for easy reference.

Answer: Fijian file

Sometimes, 'folder' can be used instead of the word 'file' depending on where you live and work in the world. A folder is usually a holder for pieces of paper or information and the total unit (folder plus data) is what is referred to as a 'file'. The file is then usually stored in a filing cabinet (or similar storage facility) for safekeeping.

5. Belonging to a European country (capital Berlin) plus a journal or newspaper.

Answer: German gazette

'The Oxford Gazette' was founded in England in 1665 and a 'gazette' became known as a public journal of government. These journals eventually became known as government gazettes, and 'gazette' now refers to public journals and newspapers.

6. Belonging to an Asian country (capital New Delhi) plus a list of items such as stock, property or contents of a building.

Answer: Indian inventory

An inventory is usually a list of 'stuff' (to get technical here!). Usually inventory is a term used to refer to the list of goods in a storeroom, or considered 'in stock' by a seller.

7. Belonging to an Eastern Asian island country (capital Tokyo) plus a daily recording of events (otherwise known as a diary).

Answer: Japanese journal

A journal can be several things but is generally known as a records of daily events (such as a diary), or a newspaper or periodical published each day. This definition gets stretched a bit when some publications - especially scholarly ones - aren't published daily but are referred to as a 'journal'.

8. Belonging to a southeast Asian country (capital Kuala Lumpur) plus a list of passengers on a craft (for example).

Answer: Malaysian manifest

While the word 'manifest' can have several different meanings, in this sense it is a document listing the passengers, crew or cargo on a craft - such as a ship, aircraft or other vehicle.

9. Belonging to a large Asian country (capital Moscow) plus an official list in a category (such as births, deaths or marriages).

Answer: Russian register

A register is an official list of 'things' in a particular category. For example, a list of members of a sporting club, a list of births at a hospital or names of people buried in a particular cemetery.

10. Belonging to an African country (with one capital being Pretoria) plus a plan listing relevant times and events.

Answer: South African schedule

A schedule can refer to a list of workers and their hours (otherwise known as a 'roster'), but in the sense of project management, a schedule is a list of a project's elements with their intended start and finish dates - the 'schedule' is also a means of tracking the progress of a project.
