Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following elements is the 'H' in an H-Bomb?

Answer: Hydrogen

Hydrogen is element number 1 on the periodic table. It is the most abundant element in the universe. Pure elemental hydrogen is very flammable. It was initially used in airships, but the explosion on the Hindenberg prompted them to change to helium. The United States was the first nation to detonate a hydrogen bomb in November 1, 1952, which is shown in the photograph.

The bomb was given a codename of "Ivy Mike".
2. Triple H is a multi-time world heavyweight champion with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). What is his real name?

In 1998, General Motors bought the Hummer brand from AM General. The brand would be discontinued in 2010. The animal in the photo is a hummingbird.
4. What word is used to represent the letter 'H' in the modern NATO phonetic alphabet?

Answer: Hotel

In the modern NATO phonetic alphabet, the word 'Hotel' represents the letter 'H'. The phonetic alphabet was developed to aid in radio communications. It is designed to allow for better understanding and less confusion. Since some letters and numbers tend to sound very alike over the radio, the phonetic alphabet allows the speaker to make sure his message is clearly understood by the listener.

For example, if you had an airplane with the registration N159HZ, you would identify it by saying "November-One-Fife-Niner-Hotel-Zulu". Holiday Inn is a chain of hotels with locations across the world.
5. In aviation, the airport belonging to which of these cities has HHH as its IATA identification code?

Answer: Hilton Head Island, USA

Air travel to Hilton Head Island is also provided by the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, which is about 45 minutes away by car.
6. What does the blue 'H' indicate when looking at a weather map?

Answer: High air pressure

A blue 'H' on a weather map indicates an area of high air pressure. Areas of high air pressure are usually accompanied by weather that is nice and sunny. A red 'L' indicates an area of low air pressure, which is usually accompanied with rainy or snowy weather.
7. Which letter of the Greek alphabet is represented by an 'H'?

Answer: Eta

Eta is the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet. Its uppercase form is symbolized by an 'H', which is the modern Latin letter often associated with it. While the Latin letter 'H' is a consonant, the Greek eta can be used as a vowel sometimes.
8. What does the letter 'H' indicate on this American dollar bill?

Answer: The Federal Reserve Bank where it was printed
