Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am sitting in Chemistry 101 and the lecturer is so boring. He has just started talking about the chemical makeup of water, which is H2O, as everyone knows.
I begin to daydream and recall an episode of the "Simpsons" where one of the characters utters the line whilst watering his lawn, "This brown spot needs a little H2-Oh, yeah". What is the name of the Duff brewery employee whose catchphrase is "Oh, Yeah!"?
2. The bell rings and Chemistry 101 is finished for today. I decide to head to the canteen for some lunch. I see that on the menu there is golden fried chicken. Yum, that sounds delicious.

3. After lunch I have History 101. I am looking forward to this class as we are going to cover the Iron Age of man. Before going into the class, I decide to get a cup of coffee. I take a sip and burn my tongue; I comment to my friend that it is like molten iron. This gets him thinking and he asks: "At what temperature does iron change from a solid to a liquid"?
4. Iron-I clever, as I leave my history lesson? As I walk down the hall I see the sweetest-looking girl in the school. Sweet as honey, I think to myself. But no time to waste, it is onto French 101 next. Before I go in, I try to remember what the French word for "honey" is. What is it?
5. I am sitting in French 101 and the teacher asks us to translate the following French phrase, "Oú est le bibliothèque?". There are some puzzled faces looking back at her, but I know the answer. What is the English translation of the phrase "Oú est le bibliothèque"?
6. Ooh La La. D'accord...I mean OK. Looking quickly at my timetable I have five minutes to make it to my next class, Math 101. So, here is a math question to get the old grey matter working.

8. After a quick shower, it's back to class again. I look at my timetable and to my relief I've now got my favorite subject, Geography 101. My geography is very good, so try this question on for size (it's a toughy): which country in central Europe is doubly landlocked?
9. One final class before I can go home to put my feet up for the evening. Oh dear, my final class is English Literature 101. Methinks a question on Shakespeare is on the horizon.
