Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the nursery rhyme about "Old King Cole", he calls for three things. What does he not call for?

Answer: His gold

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul
And a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three."
2. Three of these are Romance languages. Which is not?

Answer: German

French, Italian, and Spanish are all Romance languages, derived from vulgar Latin. (So are Catalan, Portuguese, and Romanian.) German is a Germanic language (as are English, Dutch, Afrikaans, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faroese).
3. Three of these American presidents served only one term. Who was the two-termer?

Answer: Andrew Jackson

John Adams, the second president of the United States, was in office from 1797-1801. William Howard Taft was the 27th president, serving from 1909-1913. George H. W. Bush was the 41st president, and was in office from 1989-1993. (Don't mix him up with his son, George W. Bush, who did serve two terms.) Those are the one-termers.

But Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, won re-election, and served two terms, from 1829-1837.
4. Three of these capital cities belong to the three Baltic states. Which city belongs elsewhere?

Answer: Helsinki

Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, Riga is the capital of Latvia, and Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania. These are the three Baltic States. Helsinki is the capital of Finland, which is further north.
5. Some of Henry VIII's wives had, shall we say, untimely deaths. Which of these wives survived him?

Answer: Anne of Cleves

Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, was executed in 1536. His third wife, Jane Seymour, died soon after childbirth in 1537. Catherine Howard was Henry's fifth wife; she was executed in 1542. Henry himself died in 1547. Anne of Cleves, his fourth wife (he'd had the marriage annulled), lived for ten more years until 1557.
6. Three of these quarters were issued in 1999, the first year of the U. S. Mint's 50 State Quarters Program. Which quarter was issued later?

Answer: New York

The state quarters were released in the order that the states joined the Union, at the rate of five per year. Delaware was first, New Jersey third, and Georgia fourth, so their quarters were all released in 1999. New York was the 11th state, so it wasn't released until 2001.
7. Three of these famous and influential Baroque composers were born in 1685. Who was born in a different year?

Answer: Antonio Vivaldi

Handel (February 23), Bach (March 21), and Scarlatti (October 26) were all born in 1685. Vivaldi was a little older; he was born on March 4, 1678.
8. Snakes! Three of these snakes are not venomous. Which one is?

Answer: King cobra

The grass snake is Eurasian, is also known as the ringed snake or water snake, and is not venomous. Neither is the Mexican black kingsnake, which is a constrictor that lives in Mexico and the southwestern United States. The reticulated python, which inhabits Asia, is the world's longest reptile, but it has no venom; it is another constrictor.

If you go to India or southeast Asia, however, you might just find a king cobra, the world's longest venomous snake.
9. "The Tonight Show" has had several official hosts over the years. Which of these men was never one of them?

Answer: Allen Ludden

Steve Allen was the first host of "The Tonight Show", from 1954-1957. Johnny Carson was the third host, from 1962-1992. Jay Leno followed Carson, and hosted from 1992-2009, and again from 2010-2014.

Allen Ludden was an American TV personality and game show host, best known for hosting different versions of "Password" over a 20 year time span. He was also married to Betty White.
10. Three of these elements are classified as noble gasses. Which one is not?

Answer: Chlorine

Helium (He, atomic number 2), Krypton (Kr, atomic number 36), and Xenon (Xe, atomic number 54) are all noble gasses, which means that they almost never react with other elements. You can find them all in the far right column of the periodic table. Chlorine (Cl, atomic number 17) is a gas, but it is in the halogen group, right next to the noble gasses.
