Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Starting with a three-letter word for a feline, the verb that begins our chain means to connect one link to another, especially on the atomic level.

Answer: Catenate

The champion element when it comes to catenation is carbon, and organic chemistry is primarily concerned with studying the various chains formed from carbon reactions. Sulphur, silicon, and some other elements also form chains. Mathematicians, computer scientists, and other nonbiological scientists tend to use the verb "concatenate" rather than "catenate" but are also interested in chain and string formation. (No cats were harmed in the creation of this question.)
2. Begin with the last three letters of the previous word, and turn it into more than one French artist's workshop to create the next link.

Answer: Ateliers

The French word "atelier" is used to describe an artist's workshop, often a space where a master artist teaches students and guides apprentices as they create works together. While he may or may not work in an atelier, Korean artist Seo Young Deok makes sculptures of the human body from thousands of bicycle chains.
3. Take the last three letters of the previous word, go back into the past, and find the next link: an old-fashioned word for former circumstances.

Answer: Erstwhile

The word "erstwhile" is used as an adjective, to show that a person, place, or thing is not what it was before. The word "former" could serve as a replacement. For example, each link in a daisy chain is an erstwhile plant.
4. The last three letters of the previous word begin the next link and give you a pain. You can feel the inflammation in part of your gut.

Answer: Ileitis

The ileum - not to be confused with the ilium, which is a pelvic bone - is the lowest part of the small intestine and the place where bile breaks down long-chain fatty acids. Ileitis is inflammation of the ileum - ouch.
5. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous link, assemble cells of a similar type into one thin layer.

Answer: Tissue

Biologists classify structures in a chain that increases in complexity. Atoms form into molecules, which develop into organelles, which merge into cells. Cells line up to form tissues. Next come organs, systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystems, and biomes. Tissue is an important link in the chain.
6. Leading with the last three letters of the previous word, make the next link from leather that has a smooth, brushed nap.

Answer: Suede

Suede comes from the soft underskin of animals, and is pliable enough to use for upholstery, gloves, handbags, and shoes. Many people prefer to use substitutes for suede made from polymer fibers, which can be given similar qualities. Polymer fibers are versatile because - you guessed it - they form chains.
7. The musical play and movie "The Sound of Music" featured a song about a hardy but beautiful flower. Take the last three letters of the previous word high into the Alps for the name of the flower and our next link.

Answer: Edelweiss

The edelweiss grows on the highest slopes of the Alpine chain of mountains in Europe and is seen to symbolize the qualities of the people who live in these regions. Its name means "noble white" in German, which emphasizes its purity.
8. Start with the last three letters of the previous link and add two more, for a first-generation immigrant from Japan.

Answer: Issei

First generation immigrants from Japan to Australia and the Americas refer to themselves as Issei, second generation as Nisei, and third generation as Sansei, words related to the first three numbers: ichi, ni, san (one, two, three). In December, 2012, upon the death of Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye (a highly decorated veteran of World War II), PBS ran a revealing headline: "As 'Nisei' Soldier, Sen. Daniel Inouye Fought to Prove His Loyalty to America." Many Issei and their children and grandchildren were sent to internment camps during the war.
9. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous link, find a record made using an instrument that measures earthquake vibrations.

Answer: Seismogram

A seismogram shows the lines inscribed by the seismograph as it picks up seismic waves, chains of vibrations set off by earthquakes and tremors. While seismographs now are electronic, an early seismograph in China, dating from A.D. 132, works on the same principle, creating seismograms.
10. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, find our final link in the chain, a verb that means to branch out and form a network of connections and branches much like limbs of a tree.

Answer: Ramify

Arguably, when connections ramify, they branch off in different directions, but are part of a chain, nevertheless. The noun "ramifications" is perhaps more familiar to most of us than is the verb, as we consider scenarios in which one thing leads to another, and ramifications multiply exponentially.
