Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First word of eight letters: Able to be touched.

Answer: Tangible

The assets of a company can be categorised into tangible assets and intangible assets. Tangible assets are physical items owned by the company, such as machinery and inventory. Intangible assets are things such as trademarks and branding that are non-physical, but still provide value to the company.
2. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a seven-letter word that is a clear jelly-like substance.

Answer: Gelatin

Derived from collagen extracted from various body parts of animals such as cows and fish, gelatin is used as a thickening agent in various industries, including food preparation, cosmetics, and drug manufacture.
3. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a six-letter word meaning a superficial stinging sensation.

Answer: Tingle

People will often say that they experience a tingle going up their spine when watching something that evokes an emotional reaction, whether that be exciting (such as watching one's child winning a race), or scary (such as when watching a horror movie and knowing that something awful is about to happen).
4. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a five-letter word that is a small flash of light.

Answer: Glint

Glint, as in "As the clouds parted, a glint of sunlight shone through the window and lit up the previously dark corner of the room".
5. Subtract a letter to get a four-letter word that is short threads of cloth.

Answer: Lint

Over time, due to normal wear and washing, short threads known as lint detach from clothing and other fabric items (such as towels and bedding), and accumulate in areas such as pockets, washing machines, and even human belly buttons!
6. Subtract a letter and anagram to get a three-letter word that is a chemical element with the symbol Sn.

Answer: Tin

The chemical element tin has an atomic number of 50, and the symbol Sn, as it comes from the Latin word 'stannum'. A post-transition metal, tin is often used in alloys with other metals, and as a coating for other metals to prevent corrosion, for example steel containers used to hold certain food products.
7. Add a letter to get a four-letter word that is a prong of a fork.

Answer: Tine

There are a multitude of different types of forks, each of which is designed for a specific purpose, from wooden chip forks, to spaghetti forks, to standard dinner forks. Whatever the purpose, each type of fork has two or more prongs (known as tines) which allow the user to either spear the food item directly with the tines, or carry the food item on top of the tines.
8. Add a letter and anagram to get a five-letter word that means to come together.

Answer: Unite

Local communities will often unite in times of difficulty to help each other out. An example of this is when the local community of North Kensington in London came together to help those who had been made homeless due to the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017.
9. Add a letter and anagram to get a six-letter word that can mean either sixty seconds or very small.

Answer: Minute

Minute (sixty seconds) and minute (very small) as in "Jane had only been at the bus stop for one minute when her bus arrived, so she had only been able to read a minute amount of her book before getting onto the bus".
10. Add a letter and anagram to get a seven-letter word that is also known as asphalt.

Answer: Bitumen

Primarily used for road construction, bitumen (or asphalt) is a sticky black solid form of petroleum. Due to its excellent waterproofing properties, it is also extensively used for roofing products.
