Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Kicking a field goal through the two yellow posts gives your team three points. Specifically, the ball must pass over a crossbar that's ten feet off the ground, and between the two uprights, spaced 18 feet and six inches apart.

2. What color is an ice hockey puck?

Answer: Black

In an ice hockey game, it can be considered an honor to get to lay down the first puck, as throwing the first pitch is to baseball.

3. What colors are the leather of a baseball and the lace of a baseball?

Answer: White and red

Baseball is considered the American pastime, and the simple image of a baseball a true American icon.

4. What color is the rim of a standard NBA basketball hoop?

5. What is the most common color used for the stripes around the necks of bowling pins? (I know there are some more funky variations out there, but what color is by far the most used?)

Answer: Red

Knocking down all the pins in one throw is a strike, and getting all 10 in two throws is called a spare. A perfect bowling game is a score of 300.

6. What color is a tennis ball? (As in the most common color, which is also used in tournaments such as the US Open and the French Open.)

Answer: Bright yellow

7. What two colors are the most usual to find on a soccer ball?

Answer: Black and white

The rules of soccer state that you can only touch the ball with your feet, head, knees, and chest. Only the goalie can touch the ball with their arms and hands.

8. What color are golf balls that are used competitively in tournaments such as the PGA Tour?

Answer: White

The golf ball is most commonly pure white, but specialty balls can be many other colors, and even have complicated images on them, such as superheroes and cartoon characters.

9. What color are volleyballs? (Remember, I'm asking for the color of volleyballs that is most well known, and is also the color ball used in the Olympics.)

Answer: White

Volleyball is a sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net, and attempt to get the ball past the players of the other team. There is also a similar sport, called beach volleyball, which is played on sand and has teams of two.

10. What two colors are a softball? (Again, I'm talking about the most commonly associated with the sport, and that appear in the college NCAA tournament.)

Answer: Yellow and red

This was a hard one, considering many people don't know that a softball has different colors than a baseball. It's also significantly larger, having a 12 inch circumference as opposed to a baseball's nine inches.
