Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Robin Hood and his Merry Men have run out of arrows. "We will have to go and order more," says Little John. Do you know what a person who makes arrows is called?

Answer: Fletcher

The word "fletcher" comes from the Old French "fleche", meaning arrow. It can also refer to the flights of an arrow or dart (i.e. the feather or plastic part). The word is also a common surname with roots in the Middle Ages, when a person's occupation was also their identity.

2. Which of the following is a hybrid fruit (grapefruit, orange and tangerine) that is a mottled green and yellow in colour?

Answer: Ugli Fruit

Hybridization is the process of cross breeding two breeds of the same genus or between different species. For example, a grapple is a cross between a grape and an apple; a lemato is a cross between a lemon and a tomato; a pomato is a cross between a potato and a tomato.

3. By what name is the Tokyo Stock Exchange known?

Answer: Nikkei (Japan)

The Nikkei 225 Stock Exchange Index, to give its full name, is the index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The companies involved vary widely from tobacco, brewing and meat packing to mining ventures, car makers and precision instrument manufacturers.

4. One of the best films I have seen, "Pulp Fiction" stars Uma Thurman, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis. What is the surname of the director of this movie?

Answer: Tarantino

Quentin Jerome Tarantino was born 27th March 1963 in Knoxville, Tennessee. "Pulp Fiction" was his second film. It was premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1994, and despite its success won just one Oscar at the following year's ceremony.
5. As we all know, a book has a spine which allows it to open into two parts. What is the technical name for the side which, when the book is opened, is on the right?

Answer: Recto

Conventionally, it has always been the case in publishing that the first page is almost always recto, making this the "front" side of a page. As a result, recto pages are usually odd numbered.

6. What is the element with an atomic number of 53 which is almost always added to table salt?

Answer: Iodine

Whilst composing this quiz, I discovered that iodine is an essential element for humans so that they can synthesise thyroid hormones. The best place to find naturally occurring amounts are the oceans and soil. However, in places such as the Alps, Andes and Himalayas and the flooded river valley of the Ganges, erosion has depleted the element.

7. What is the left-hand side of a book called?

Answer: Verso

As the verso is the left hand side page in a book, it's clear that these are even numbered. It is also known as the side of the page to be read second. The word comes from the New Latin phrase "verso folio", the leaf having been turned.

(Sources: www.thefreedictionary.com/verso and en.wiktionary.org)
8. I will give two definitions for the same word: in religion, especially Greek and Russian Orthodoxy, it is used to describe a painting. In computing terms, this word is used for a symbol which appears on the screen (e.g. Recycle Bin).

Answer: Icon

The word "icon" or "ikon" comes from the Greek "eikon" or image. In religion, icons are usually paintings in the tradition of Eastern Christianity. Modern culture, however, utilizes the word more generally for a symbol, whether on a computer or literally as a symbol for a name, face, picture etc.

9. In the USA, which state is known as The Grand Canyon State and also The Apache State?

Answer: Arizona

Arizona is situated in the southwest of the USA, and is bordered by Utah, New Mexico, Mexico and across the Colorado River by Nevada and California. As one of its nicknames implies, one of the many attractions is the Grand Canyon. Others include Fort Apache, the Hoover Dam, the Painted Desert, the Petrified Forest and lastly, the reconstructed London Bridge at Lake Havasu City.
