The Larch Trivia Quiz

Answer: Chair

A chair is simply a piece of furniture on which a person may sit. In olden English times, families used to have one table which was called the "board." On one side members of the family would eat. On the other side the family could flip the surface to have an extra sleeping surface.

Hence when someone needed room and board they would eat food on one side of the table and sleep on the other. The term chairman of the board comes from the idea that when father would come home after a hard day of work, he would draw his chair up to the board to eat his dinner-time meal.

Answer: Crash

Today in the wild there are five different species of rhinoceros. Two of these species exist in Africa and three live in Asia. The rhino is an endangered species and three of the species are critically endangered. It is quite fitting that a group of rhinos are called a crash.

The horns of a rhino are not actually bone, rather they are composed of keratin. Keratin is the same substance we find in hair and nails.

Answer: Scrap

Scrap can refer to small fragments of clothes, materials, food, or other consumables. In many contexts scrap is used to also refer to recyclable materials left over from production.

Someone who is engaged in a scrap can also be a person who is fighting.
