Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Suva is the capital of the Faroe Islands.

Answer: False

Suva is the capital of the Fiji Islands. These islands are located some 2200 kilometres (or 1400 miles) north of New Zealand. By the way, it had to be false. After all, false starts with an F, doesn't it?
2. Which Dutch club was the first to win the European Cup (football)?

Answer: Feyenoord

The club from Rotterdam took the honors in 1970 by beating Scottish outfit Celtic 2-1. The match winning goal was scored in the 117th minute by Swedish striker Ove Kindvall.
3. The battle at Marye's Heights was also known as?

Answer: Fredericksburg

Union troops under Ambrose E. Burnside suffered a major defeat after charging the stone wall at Marye's Heights fourteen times.
4. Which sports governing body was founded in 1904?

Answer: FIFA

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association or 'International Federation of Association Football' in English) was founded on March 21, 1904 to be exact. Seven countries were there from the start: France, Belgium, Denmark, Spain Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands. England joined a year later. Scotland, Wales and Ireland followed suit in 1910.

The FA is the English body of football (soccer), and FIDE is the governing body of chess. Fifi must be a poodle or something like that.
5. Which German physicist invented the alcohol thermometer as well as the mercury thermometer?

Answer: Fahrenheit

But Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit may be best known for the developing of the Fahrenheit temperature scale. He was born in Gdansk in 1686 and died in 1736 in The Hague in Holland, where he lived most of his life.
6. What's the name of a Spanish folk dance for two persons?

Answer: Fandango

Fandango literally means 'go and dance' and was originally a courtship dance. The two dancers never touch each other.
7. Giovanni Agnelli started which Italian car company?

Answer: FIAT

FIAT (Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino) was founded in 1899. This car company took over (and is therefore responsible for) famous motoring names like Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and of course Ferrari.
8. Which boxer had the nickname Smoking Joe?

Answer: Joe Frazier

Joe Frazier had three famous fights with Muhammad Ali. The first was in 1971; the next two (in 1974 and 1975) he lost.
9. Which Austrian singer had a big hit with 'Rock Me Amadeus?

Answer: Falco

Other hits of Falco were 'Der Kommissar' and the controversial 'Jeanny'. Falco's real name was Hans Hölzel. He died at an early age of 41 in 1998.
10. Which bacteriologist was responsible for the discovery of penicillin?

Answer: Alexander Fleming

In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered, quite by accident, that a mold from the penicillium family was able to kill bacteria. Although he immediately published his findings, it took World War II to discover the importance of this discovery. Victor Fleming was one of the directors of Gone With The Wind (and he won an Oscar for his efforts), Ian Fleming wrote novels about a certain James Bond. Poulsen Flemming does not exist, as far as I know. Flemming Povlsen however was a soccer player at Borussia Dortmund and PSV Eindhoven.
