Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the early seventies, this band had six Billboard Top 40 hits in a three year period, which included their first hit that topped the charts for three weeks. Coincidentally all band members had American fathers and British mothers. What is the name of this group?

Answer: America

America's breakthrough hit was "A Horse With No Name" in 1972. The band also got to number one with "Sister Golden Hair" three years later. It happened that their fathers were all stationed at a US Air Force base located near London, England, and subsequently married local ladies.

Answer: Cherry

Cherries have been grown in Europe, reportedly, as far back as history allows. They were introduced into the US by British settlers in the 1600s, and some time later into Canada along the St. Lawrence River by the French.
3. A day celebrated globally on November 21 each year was founded to observe the fact that communication to resolve problems is more sensible than the use of force. It was initiated in 1973 by two American university students in response to the Middle East War, which almost created a nuclear confrontation between the super powers. What is this day known as?

Answer: World Hello Day

Initiated by university students Brian and Michael McCormack, World Hello Day has been observed in over 180 countries. The emphasis is on people greeting at least ten others during the day.
4. A most-visited tourist precinct and historic centre in Australia's largest city, located on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour, emphasises the historic importance of the area dating back to early colonial days. What is the name of this district?

Answer: The Rocks

The Rocks were established soon after the first fleet arrived from England in 1788 for Australia's first European settlement. With the deterioration of buildings over the years, various resident groups curbed continuing efforts by the government to demolish the area.

Some were able to survive and were refurbished with the result of this heritage precinct becoming a great tourist attraction. The government's involvement includes necessary maintenance and upgrading.
5. In a 2006 movie shot in Cambodia, a wanted American hustler and cardsharp encounters a twelve-year-old Vietnamese girl who has been sold by her impoverished family and transported across the border to work as a prostitute. The film highlights the terrible epidemic of child trafficking and the corruption of law enforcement officers, as the main character battles to rescue her. What is the name of this movie?

Answer: Holly

"Holly" (2006) is the name of the movie, as well as the girl that Patrick is trying to save. It was filmed to raise awareness of the dreadful exploitation of children. It forms part of the K-11 project which is dedicated to increasing knowledge about child trafficking and sex slavery. Not surprisingly the producers came up against much hardship while filming in Cambodia.
6. What flower is also named Adenium, Impala Lily and Bangkok Kalakuchi? One variety of it contains a toxic substance used as arrow poison for big game hunting in Africa.

Answer: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

8. What was the first name of the 23rd US President's wife? It is also the name of 2014 US Vice President Joe Biden's "wild child" niece.
