Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When I was young my mum took us to play this sport each week, and on the way home we were always hungry so we'd stop at the KEBAB STALL for dinner.

Answer: basketball

Basketball was invented in the late nineteenth century, but many aspects of the game have changed since then. For example, the first basketball "rings" were made from wooden boxes and players used a stepladder to retrieve the ball after each goal was scored.
2. I tried my hand at a few sports as a child, and, though I wasn't very good at this one, my father boosted my confidence by telling me I was one of the ABLEST TEN IN my club.

Answer: table tennis

There is debate about the precise origins of table tennis but, according to the International Table Tennis Federation, the earliest table top version of tennis was patented in England in 1890. This game used strung racquets, a cloth-covered rubber ball, and long nets strung down the length of each side of the table to help prevent the ball from flying around the room.
3. I still enjoy this activity I took up as a kid, but it can be complicated. If you are unsure how to begin, you often find that A DEMO GIVES you an idea of how it all works.

Answer: video games

There has been much debate about the negative impact that playing video games might have on people's (especially children's) health, but a 2004 study found that there can be positive side effects too: surgeons in the study who played video games for more than three hours per week made 37% fewer mistakes in laparoscopic surgery than those who did not play video games.
4. As a teenager, I and seven of my friends began to participate in this activity. Most of the others who came each week were older than us, and our group became known as the ACNE SQUAD RING.

Answer: square dancing

Although square dancing has become heavily associated with American culture, its origins are actually European. A similar dance became popular in England during the 17th century and the French adapted this to create the Quadrille, the dance widely regarded as the "grandfather" of modern square dancing.
5. When I can't find the right yarn for my next project, I often visit the TINT KING, who has an excellent range.

Answer: knitting

Today, knitting is often considered a woman's craft, but "The Complete Encyclopedia of Stitchery" reveals that knitting probably began when Arabian sailors (men) developed the technique for producing fishing nets. It remained a male-dominated craft into the Early Modern era.
6. Although I have a black thumb myself, I often see the woman at the RAGGED INN out in her yard doing this very successfully.

Answer: gardening

Aphids destroying your garden? Why not try the most commonly used biological pest control: ladybugs! These pretty little creatures can each eat up to 50 aphids per day.
7. I need the co-operation of a friendly quadruped to do this during my free time, but when I ask him if he's ready, he just tells me to ORDER HIS GIN and tonic.

Answer: horse riding

Many people make jokes about dressage riders just sitting there while their horses do all the work, but a standard training session for a hobby dressage rider burns more calories than an equivalent amount of time spent whitewater rafting, dancing or surfing.
8. ALL HYPE IT who do it, but the rest of us just call it stamp collecting.

Answer: philately

One of the most famous stamp printing errors in history is known as the "Inverted Jenny". In 1918, the Jenny Stamp was designed for use on packages to be sent by air mail, then a new idea. The sheets of stamps had to be sent through the printing machine twice; first to print the red border and second to print the blue airplane; and one sheet was oriented incorrectly on its second printing, creating the appearance of an upside down plane on the stamp.

Inverted Jenny stamps have sold for close to one million US dollars.
9. Unlike the professionals, my friends and I never spit when we do this, and after we have tried a few samples we always think we are AGENTS IN WIT, though those around us may not agree.

Answer: wine tasting

It is not unusual for wine judges to have to taste around 100 wines in one day, so you can well understand why they don't swallow as they test.
10. Some people say that my time spent at this website produces nothing but VAIN FRUIT. I know that's not the truth!
