Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why do older windows sometimes appear rippled?

Answer: When window glass was first manufactured, it was spun before flattening, resulting in imperfections.

When glass first started to be used in homes and churches, it was first blown into a cylinder, then flattened for windows. This resulted in many imperfections such as ripples and small bubbles in the glass. In modern times, glass is made using the float method. Here, molten glass it poured on a bed of molten tin. This allows it to flatten out evenly before it cools as the tin cools.
2. Which of the following dogs does NOT shed very much and is considered hypoallergenic?

Answer: Portuguese Water Dog

The Portuguese Water Dog is an energetic dog that, as its name suggests, tends to enjoy the water. You may remember "Bo", the Portuguese Water Dog who was the pet to President Obama's family when he was President of the United States.
3. Over 130 statues have been erected depicting Queen Victoria over the years around the world. She died in 1901. How many countries erected statues to her over the years?

Answer: Over 25

Countries the world over have erected statues to Queen Victoria over the years. Although most were put up before 1930, a few were erected well into the 20th century. The number of countries with statues of Queen Victoria represent the far-reaching British Empire that had established control over so many countries by the end of her reign.
4. In "The Bourne Identity", what type of car did Jason Bourne hire to get him to Paris?

Answer: Mini Cooper

After gathering his things from the Swiss bank, Bourne found himself in a pickle after he went to the embassy. He hired Maria to drive him to Paris in her Mini Cooper. They used the car until they were chased through streets and alleys (and down staircases) in Paris. At the end of the chase, they had to abandon the vehicle.
5. What is a good alternative to store-bought window cleaners?

Answer: A mixture of vinegar and water

The acid in vinegar helps to clean through fingerprints and dirt on household and vehicle windows. Vinegar is a substance that is recommended in many household chores including keeping drains free, cleaning cutting boards, and even washing hair.
6. We all know that platypuses (the correct plural) lay eggs. How many eggs do they lay at one time?

Answer: 1-2

Females burrow into the ground at the riverbank and lay their eggs there. Once they are laid, she covers the eggs with her tail to keep them warm. After they hatch, the baby platypuses nurse for three to four months. At that point, they are able to swim on their own.
7. What colour is a "crispin" apple?

Answer: Green

Crispin apples have a Japanese heritage and were renamed from "Mutsu" in the 1960s. The apple is very crisp, and its sweet flesh is delicious raw or cooked in pies and sauces. They store well, so tend to be available year-round in areas where they are grown.
8. Approximately how many millimeters make up one inch of rain?

Answer: 25

Exactly 25.4 millimeters of rain make up one inch. That is equivalent to 2.54 centimetres, but rain is measured in millimeters because it is rare to get even close to one inch during a rainstorm. By measuring in millimeters, meteorologists are able to provide a more precise measure of rain.
9. In the first verse of Simon and Garfunkel's song "El Condor Pasa", the singer sings that he'd rather be a sparrow than a snail, and that he'd rather be a hammer than a nail. What is the missing word from the following line, taken from the third verse? "I'd rather be a forest than a _______".

Answer: street

"El Condor Pasa" is a short, three-verse song by Simon and Garfunkel. It has been said that it is the best-known Peruvian song in the English-speaking world. The song appeared on their "Bridge Over Troubled Water" album.
10. In digestion, food first travels to the stomach where the process begins. Then, it travels to the small intestine where most of the digestive action takes place. Approximately how long is the small intestine?

Answer: 20 feet

The small intestine is the main organ of digestion and absorption. After getting broken down in the stomach, food moves through the length of the small intestine rather slowly so that it has time to break down. Bile from the liver, and enzymes from the pancreas get involved at this point to fully digest the food and absorb nutrients.
