Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This type of hit in baseball is sometimes called a three-bagger.

Answer: triple

In baseball, a triple is when the batter safely reaches third base on a hit without a fielder error or a fielder's choice. Triples are much rarer than singles or doubles, since the batter needs to have decent power and speed. In 1912, Pittsburgh Pirate Chief Wilson hit 36 triples that season.

2. Now subtract a letter. Edible stomach lining from some animals.

Answer: tripe

Tripe most commonly comes from the stomach of cattle or sheep. Tripe soup is found in the cuisine of many Eastern European countries. Tripe is high in Vitamin B12.

3. Now subtract a letter. A journey or voyage.

Answer: trip

Another meaning of the word "trip" can be stumble or misstep. A trip or journey can be a day or much longer and cover a great range of distances. TripAdvisor is a well-known website that assists users with gathering information about hotels and other parts of a "trip" or vacation.

4. Now subtract a letter. This word means tear (often quickly)

Answer: rip

Like tear, rip can be used as a noun or a verb. A swindle can also be described as a "rip-off". Other well-known "Rips" are the fictional character Rip Van Winkle and the abbreviation "R.I.P." found on many tombstones.

5. Now subtract a letter. This is a local level administrative unit on the Korean peninsula.

Answer: RI

A ri is roughly equivalent to a village. This type of unit exists in North Korea and South Korea.

6. Now subtract a letter. Not you, not he, not she, not it. What does that leave?

Answer: i

"I" is the nominative form of the first person singular pronoun with "me" as the accusative form. "My" is the possessive determiner and "mine" is the possessive pronoun. "I Me Mine" was a song written by George Harrison in 1970 for the Beatles' final album, "Let it Be".

7. Now add a letter. The ratio between a circle's diameter and its circumference.

Answer: pi

Pi is an irrational number roughly equal to 3.14. It is also known as Archimedes' constant. The circumference is the distance around the circle and the diameter is the width of the circle across the middle. Pi is also used in calculating the area of a circle which is equal to pi times the square of the radius (or distance from the center of the circle to the circumference).

8. Now add a letter. A commodities-trading card game or partnered by Edgar Allan Poe with a pendulum.

Answer: pit

"The Pit and the Pendulum" was a short story written by Poe in 1842. The story describes an unnamed narrator being tortured by the Spanish Inquisition. The card game "Pit", which dates back to the early 20th century, finds each player trying to trade various cards in order to get a monopoly of one particular commodity.

9. Now add a letter. A metal rod that holds meat over a fire.

Answer: spit

A spit can be used to slowly rotate the meat so that it cooks evenly. In another meaning, spit can be to expectorate or expel from the mouth. I suppose if the meat was not cooked properly on the spit, you might spit it out.

10. Now add a letter. You might cut off your nose to do this to your face.

Answer: spite

Spite is the desire to annoy, humiliate, or harm the object of one's spite. Spite is usually considered a very negative feeling. The expression "cut off one's nose to spite the face" describes someone who is so anxious to harm another that they end up harming him or herself even more.
