Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If a player gets injured during a game of cricket, he may ask for another team member to run between the wickets for him. What is such a player (not the batsman) called?

Answer: Runner

The runner may be a team member who had got out earlier. He must wear and carry the same cricket gear as the batsman.
2. It's common knowledge that India was a British colony till it gained independence on the 15th of August 1947. However parts of present day India were also colonized by other European powers. To whom did the Union Territory of Pondicherry belong at the time of the Indian independence?

Answer: The French

Pondicherry has frequently changed hands between the French, the Dutch and the British in the past. It is most famous as a French colony and most of the people living there speak French fluently. It is also known as 'The French Riviera of the East'.
In September 2006, Pondicherry was officially renamed Puducherry which means 'New Colony' in the Tamil language.
3. This South American city was founded by the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro on 18th January 1535 and called the 'City of Kings'.

Answer: Lima

Lima was the greatest metropolis in South America for more than three centuries. The origin of the name Lima is uncertain. It may have been derived from the Aymara word 'lima-limaq' meaning 'yellow flower' or from the Quechuan word 'rimaq' which means 'talking'.
Lima is the capital of Peru.
4. "Red touches black, you're ok Jack; Red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow". This type of rhyme is used to distinguish between the non-venomous and venomous types of which snakes?

Answer: Coral

Coral snakes are notable for their red, yellow and black coloured banding. The order of the bands helps to distinguish between venomous and non-venomous coral snakes inspiring folk rhymes like the one in the question. However, this only applies to the 'Micrurus fulvius' and 'Micrurus tener' snakes found in southern and eastern parts of the United States. Coral snakes found in other parts of the world can have distinctly different banding.
5. On the 1st of January, 1993, the former country of Czechoslovakia was dissolved to form the nations of Slovakia and Czech Republic. What is this event also known as?

Answer: Velvet Divorce

6. Which is the most consumed cereal grain in the world?

Answer: Rice

Rice is part of the staple diet of most people in Southeast Asia. It requires a lot of water for its cultivation and is a labour intensive crop. Paddy fields where rice is grown are important habitats for birds like herons and warblers and a wide range of snakes and amphibians.
7. Which of the following are studied by lepidopterists?
