Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The term "triskaidekaphobia" is related specifically to a morbid fear of what number and occasionally the days associated with that number on the calendar?

Answer: 13

No one is completely sure where this strange phobia originated. Some suggest that it stems from Judas Iscariot being the 13th arrival at the Last Supper and ultimately the betrayer of Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. In Norse legend, Loki was said to have been the 13th arrival in Valhalla at a dinner where 12 of the Gods were invited. Soon after, the invincible Baldr was slain.

Another tradition points to the arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday the 13th of 1307. Even as far back at the Hammurabi, a Babylonian code of law dating to 1760 BC, the number 13 seems to have been omitted suggesting a superstition surrounding the number amongst ancient peoples. Today, hotels and apartment buildings omit the number 13 and sometimes even the whole 13th floor. Airplanes sometimes omit row 13, and some towns do not include a 13th street.
2. In the European countries of Germany and Austria, young people of this age are legally allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. This number is also the voting age on the Isle of Man, the legal age to join the British armed forces and the number of ounces in an avoirdupois pound. Name the number.

Sweet sixteen is an important age in most cultures. In the United States this is considered the age of consent for sexual relations and adolescents can get married legally in most states with parental consent. In the Scotland, 16-year-olds can get married without parental consent.

In the world of sports many outstanding athletes have worn the number 16 shirt including; baseball player Whitey Ford of the New York Yankees; St. Louis Blues NHL player Brett Hull; NFL Hall of Famers Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers and Frank Gifford of the New York Giants.

The University of Tennessee has also retired the #16 shirt of NFL future Hall of Famer, Peyton Manning.

During the 1980s, musician Paul Hardcastle sang a popular song that extolled the fact that the average age in Vietnam was 19. Interestingly the first Soviet nuclear ballistic submarine was the K-19. Also, this last year of being a teenager is the legal age in which someone can buy tobacco products in Alaska, Utah, Alabama, and New Jersey. Finally, in the state of Nebraska a person cannot legally marry, without parental consent until the ripe old age of 19.

A really cool shape called an icosahedron is made up of 20 faces and is a popular dice in the Dungeons and Dragons game. In America, it is also the number used to indicate perfect vision. Someone with a visual acuity of 20/20 is someone who has normal vision at 20 feet. Some of my favorite athletes that have had their number 20 jersey retired include Brian Dawkins of the Philadelphia Eagles and Barry Sanders of the Detroit Lions.
6. Jesus had this number of Apostles, the Beaufort Scale for wind measurement has this number as the maximum wind speed for a hurricane, and this number is one less than a Baker's dozen. What is the number?

Answer: 12

Jesus did indeed have twelve disciples in the names of Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, Thaddaeus, James the Son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. Sir Francis Beaufort, an officer in the Irish Navy came up with the scale to classify wind speed back in 1805.

The number 11 was used for a violent storm and 12 used to indicate hurricane force winds. Finally, the bakers of old would throw in an extra bun in the oven to ensure a perfect dozen if one bun came out flawed.

The number 18 appears commonly in history, literature, and art. The Hindu Mahabharata is comprised of 18 sections incorporating 18 armies fighting an intense war over the course of 18 days. Adolf Hitler's code number was 18, and in Chinese philosophy, Hell is made up of 18 levels. Interestingly, there are also 18 holes on a golf course -- coincidence? I think not!
9. William Shakespeare favored the use of this many lines in his sonnets, this number is also attached to Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," and of course it represents the number of legs found on the common woodlouse. What is the number?

Answer: 14

William Shakespeare wrote a total of 154 sonnets mostly on the subject of love, life, and beauty. Although a few were published separately, the entire collection first appeared in print back in 1609. Almost 200 years later, Ludwig Van Beethoven completed "The Piano Sonata #14 in C-Sharp Minor - Quasi una Fantasia, Opus 27 #2" (1801). Its more common name is the "Moonlight Sonata." Finally, the woodlouse known in many areas as the doodlebug, cheeselog, armadillo bug, or monkey pea, does indeed have 7 pairs of little legs exuding from its flat roly body.
10. The atomic number for chlorine is our next number. This number also is a famous teenager magazine, an unlucky number in Italy, the number to call the police in France, and the number of syllables in a haiku poem. What is our last number?

In multiple studies where respondents are asked to think of a number between one and 20, 17 was repeatedly the most common choice.
