Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Can you work out the following statement and then put the LAST word of this common expression as your answer? Romance compels the third planet from the sun to complete its 24 hour cycle.

Answer: Round

Love makes the world go round. This is a lovely notion, and, to a degree, is true. Basically it can be summed up by stating that without the eternal drive for human companionship and affection, the desire to reproduce, mankind's compassion towards those in need, and the belief in the inherent goodness of the soul, then we probably would have destroyed ourselves much faster than we're frantically trying to do at present in this battle-scarred and weary old globe.
2. Can you work out the following statement and then put the LAST word of this common expression as your answer? It is customary for a duo to perform a Latin American set of specific movements in time to music.

Answer: Tango

It takes two to tango. This means, for example, that as far as any argument or bitter dispute goes, one cannot argue with oneself, and such matters usually involve another person at the very least. In a nicer sense, it could also mean that it takes two people to fall in love.
3. Can you work out the following statement and then put the FIRST word of this common expression as your answer? Tidings of an unfortunate nature are prone to advance at a rapid pace.

Answer: Bad

Bad news travels fast. Many people appear to have a sharper, a more acute interest, in the announcement of bad news, or a horrible kind of avidity in hearing same, so it tends to get around any society faster than good news does. Perhaps this is also a case of bringing about a state of alertness and self-preservation as well. Whatever it is, it cannot be disputed that bad news certainly does reach the ears of the general population a lot faster than happier tidings.
4. Can you work out the following statement and then put the LAST word of this common expression as your answer? Every thoroughfare eventually culminates at the Italian capital.

Answer: Rome

All roads lead to Rome. Because the Roman Empire at its most powerful and far reaching covered a vast area of the western world, many roads eventually found their way back to the Roman capital. This saying though is interpreted as there being more than one way to do a certain task, or reach a certain objective, but in the long run, this is eventually achieved.
5. Can you work out the following statement and then put the FIRST word of this common expression as your answer? Physical exertions articulate at a higher volume than individual units of language?

Answer: Actions

Actions speak louder than words. We could also phrase this as "Put your money where your mouth is" or "You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?". Words, in many cases, come cheap, even though they are certainly powerful, but ultimately, unless they are followed up by corresponding actions, then all they are is a lot of hot air.
6. Can you work out the following statement and then put the SECOND word of this common expression as your answer? Facial features often subject to onslaughts of Botox have the ability to scuttle craft designed for use upon the ocean?

Answer: Lips

Loose lips sink ships. This mean to keep your mouth shut when it is necessary. Otherwise you could be in real danger of revealing things about people or organisations that could cause disasters, either on a personal, professional, national or international level.
7. Can you work out the following statement and then put the FIRST word of this common expression as your answer? The vital liquid flowing through veins has a denser makeup than clear liquids obtained from faucets?

Answer: Blood

Blood is thicker than water. This means that, in the long run, for the majority of people anyhow, one can rely more on family than on outsiders. The first recorded instance of this saying appears to be found in Sir Walter Scott's 1815 work "Guy Mannering".
8. Can you work out the following statement and then put the SECOND word of this common expression as your answer? An abundance of appendages results in necessary activity being quite easily managed?

Answer: Hands

Many hands make light work. For some tasks, the more people who pitch in to help the better. The task will be completed in a record time. At other times however, too many people trying to help or giving unnecessary advice, can have the opposite effect.
9. Can you work out the following statement and then put the LAST word of this common expression as your answer? It is advisable to scan one's surroundings before proceeding to plunge off any precipice?

Answer: Leap

Look before you leap. This means to take all things into consideration before making hasty decisions. This wise advice has been found recorded back as far as 1546 in England in an old book of proverbs. Obviously for it to be recorded at all meant that it was in common usage by that time.
10. Can you work out the following statement and then put the THIRD word of this common expression as your answer? A surplus of people adept at the culinary arts can have a disastrous effect upon the consommé?

Answer: Cooks

Too many cooks spoil the broth. That means that sometimes too many people trying to help achieve a desired goal can have negative effects on the desired outcome, or hinder its progress in some way.
