Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. High quality stocks

Answer: Blue chip

When a product or a service is described as blue chip, it is considered high-quality. An example of a blue chip stock is one which is a reliable investment and holds its value over time. The Dow Jones Average is based on the prices of blue chip companies like General Electric and Disney.
2. First prize in the pie baking contest

Answer: Blue ribbon

Blue ribbons are given out at State Fairs for all sorts of competitions. The blue ribbon means #1, first-class, e.g., Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. Aside from products, a panel, jury or committee can be designated as blue ribbon, denoting that it was specially selected.
3. Fictional detective agency

Answer: Blue Moon

Blue Moon Investigations was the name of the detective agency owned by former model Maddie Hayes on the TV comedy-drama "Moonlighting". The show ran from 1985 to 1989. The plot: Maddie's accountant steals her money so Maddie has to team up with wise-cracking detective David Addison to make a living, solve crimes and develop a personal relationship. Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis were the stars.
4. Member of a royal family

Answer: Blue blood

The phrase "blue blood", originally called "sangre azul" in Spanish, is used to designate a nobleman or someone of royal lineage. This was based on the Medieval idea that aristocratic blood was blue. There is a TV series called "Blue Bloods", but that title is derived from the "men in blue", i.e., the police.
5. A design plan

Answer: Blueprint

A blueprint is a design for building something, the same way a pattern is used in sewing. This plan, sketch or drawing is usually done on a blue background with a white design. It can also be a photographic print used for maps, mechanical drawings and architectural diagrams.
6. Country music combining jazz sounds

Answer: Bluegrass

Bluegrass can be a type of grass found primarily in Kentucky and Virginia, and used to feed livestock. Bluegrass music is a subgenre which fuses country music with jazz sounds. It was originally inspired by the music of Appalachia, and is often played using banjos, guitars, fiddles and close vocal harmony.
7. Company which covers hospital expenses

Answer: Blue Cross

Blue Cross Blue Shield Association is a health insurance company. Blue Cross was founded in 1929, becoming the Blue Cross Association in 1960. They merged with Blue Shield in 1982. The first Blue Cross plan guaranteed teachers three weeks of hospital care at a cost of $6 a year (can you imagine?!).
8. Nickname for the Duke University basketball team

Answer: Blue Devils

'The Blue Devils' is the nickname for the athletic teams at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The name comes from the French "les Diables Bleus" which was the appellation for the French Alpine light infantry battalion who fought in World War I. The most renowned of Duke's teams is the men's basketball team which has won multiple NCAA championships.
9. A brand of margarine and other butter spreads

Answer: Blue Bonnet

As early as 1960, Blue Bonnet Margarine has been airing commercials for margarine, butter and baking fats. In the 1970s they used country music in their commercials and, in the 1980s, they came up with the popular slogan "Everything's better with Blue Bonnet on it". They were originally owned by Standard Brands, then Nabisco, then sold to ConAgra Foods in 1998.
10. Working class person

Answer: Blue collar

Blue collar is the euphemistic expression used to define those men and women whose jobs require non-agricultural manual labor. They often work in manufacturing, mining, custodial, construction and other jobs requiring physical work. A blue collar job is the opposite of a white collar position which often involves sitting at a desk and working with a computer.
