Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Remember, the only consonant you need throughout this quiz is H! (Y is a consonant).......... The symbol for the next to lightest chemical element; it's still lighter than air.

Answer: He

Helium, lighter than air, as we all know from having helium filled balloons sail away unless they were tied to our wrists.

2. This river's watershed drains parts of eight north-eastern US states into the Mississipi River.

Answer: Ohio

The Ohio is 981 miles long, and is formed at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The name means "great or beautiful river," but has been called the "dark and bloody river" from the history of struggles between Native Americans and whites along its length.

3. A garden tool used by Mr. Macgregor.

Answer: hoe

Mr. Macgregor chased Peter Rabbit with his hoe.

4. An Hawaiian Island.

Answer: Oahu

Oahu is the "sun and fun capital of the Hawaiian Islands." Enjoy mountain ranges, rainforests, beaches and turquoise waters.

5. What the Seven Dwarves sang on the way to work. Did they have round orange crackers in their lunches?

Answer: hiho

"Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work we go." "HiHo" is also the brand name of a "Ritz" cracker taste-alike.

6. An exclamation of discovery and surprise. Don't be afraid to try one even though this might be ambiguous. I've allowed for several answers.

Answer: aha

I think aha is the best answer, but allowed for hah, huh or oho. The dictionary says its expression is often demonstrating irony or contempt.

7. _____-Mei, born 1999, the first Giant Panda born in the Western Hemisphere since 1990.

Answer: Hua

Hua-Mei was born at the San Diego, California, Zoo to mother Bai Yun.

8. A casual, familiar American greeting.

Answer: hi

Americans like to keep it short and sweet. Hi was a contraction of "hiya" which was a contraction of "how are you."

9. That last one was too easy. What's a fence or wall sunk in a ditch so as not to hide the view from within?

Answer: haha

No joke, although it certainly sounds like I'm laughing at you. "Ha-ha" is straight from the French, and also spelled haw-haw. Its name may have come from the exclamation made when one comes upon such a fence blocking the way.

10. Hwang or Westward!

Answer: Ho

The Hwang Ho, or Yellow River (a literal translation), is the second largest in China. "Westward, Ho!" is the traditional call of the wagonmaster as the wagon trains travelled across the United States.

11. A German company which makes adhesives- look for the yellow tube.

Answer: UHU

UHU adhesives make things stick from the schoolroom to big industry. In 1932 August Fischer developed the first practical, crystal-clear synthetic resin adhesive in the world that was able to stick
together all known materials of the time, including early plastics.

12. Get along, get out of here!

Answer: hie

From Anglo-Saxon "higian," to hasten.

13. A city of Viet Nam, location of the beautiful Tu Hieu Pagoda.

Answer: Hue

Hue is located on the Gulf of Tonkin, just north of Da Nang. The Pagoda is An Duong Temple built in 1843 by "Most Venerable Nhat Dinh."

14. A shade or variation of a color.

Answer: hue

Yup, the same three letters as that Vietnamese city. But they are not pronounced at all alike. Hue, VN is (I think) "Way." Hue, the color is "hew."

15. "Bubo bubo," the Eurasian Eagle Owl.

Answer: Uhu

Yes, it's the same as the adhesive company. In fact the company named itself for the bird which still lived in the Black Forest in 1932. The company history says that in the 1930's it was common to name office products for birds. The owl says: "oohu!"
