Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: imprudent

If you got this right, chances are you got all the rest right too!

2. Which country hosted and won the second ever Football World Cup in 1934?

Answer: italy

The first World Cup was hosted and won by Uruguay. The second World Cup final was between Italy and Czechoslovakia. The Czechs led 1-0 with only 8 minutes to go, but Italy fought back with a late goal to force the game into extra time. They grabbed the only goal during the extra time period to win 2-1.

3. In statistics, the middle number in a set of data is called the what?

Answer: Median

The mode is the most frequently appearing number, the frequency is the number of times a number is recorded, and the first percentile is the point at which one per cent of the data lies below.

4. In the movie 'Pete's Dragon', what is the name of the town in which Pete lives?

Answer: Passamaquoddy

Crazy name for a town, hey? Turns out the dragon is real, not a facet of little Pete's imagination as all of the grown-ups believe.

5. Which book of the Bible contains reference to 'seven great visions'?

Answer: Revelation

In the book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, the seven great visions are: (1) Jesus, (2) the throne of God, (3) the altar and a prayer of saints, (4) the woman and the serpent, (5) the victorious, (6) Babylon the great (Armageddon), and (7) the New Jerusalem (new heaven and earth).

6. Which of these following words is a body part?

Answer: uvula

The uvula is the conical mass of flesh that hangs from the soft pallete in the mouth. All the incorrect answers are 'close' to real body parts, the correct names are duodenum (part of the small intestine), tibia (shinbone), oesophagus (muscular membranous tube for the passage of food from the pharynx to the stomach).

7. Which of the following is a chemical element characterized by its metallic, bright silver lustre?

Answer: dysprosium

This is a metallic element, a solid at room temperature, atomic number of 66. It is relatively stable in air at room temperature, but dissolves readily, with the evolution of hydrogen, in mineral acids. The metal is soft enough to be cut with a knife and can be machined without sparking if overheating is avoided. This info thanks to webelements.com.

8. Fill in the missing word; this phrase, never said in the books, was made famous by the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes: '_______ my dear Watson'.

Answer: elementary

Created by author Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes is arguably the most famous detective of all time. His sidekick, Dr. Watson, was always a step or two behind him.

9. A recent convert (eg. a born-again Christian) is also called a what?

Answer: neophyte

This one should have been a giveaway, 'neo' being the prefix for 'new'.

10. In Enid Blyton's Famous Five, what was the name of the dog?

Answer: Timmy
