Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. TabbyTom is in the mood for something sweet, so what treat that originated in South and Central America is he seeing in his crystal ball?

Answer: chocolate

Chocolate is product of the Theobroma cacao tree, and has been cultivated in Mexico, Central America and South America for at least three thousand years. After conquering the Aztecs in the 16th century, the Spaniards brought chocolate back to Spain, and it quickly became a court favorite. Within a century, it was popular throughout the continent.
Several well known books and movies have featured chocolate both in their titles and storylines, and chocolate is still one of the most popular gifts on certain holidays. Chocolate is the second most popular flavor of ice cream - after vanilla.
2. TabbyTom is seeing a flower native to eastern and southern Asia which is often made into a tea - and it also reminds him of a famous Englishwoman. Which flower does he see?

Answer: camellia

Camellias are native to eastern and southern Asia, and the plant is also known as 'flowering tea' in Japan. The flowers vary from white to red, although yellow shades are also found in South China and North Vietnam.
Rabindranath Tagore wrote a poem titled 'Camellia', and the camellia is the state flower of Alabama.
And, the Englishwoman mentioned in the clue is Camilla - the second wife of Prince Charles.
3. Being as dogged as can be, TabbyTom is in search of the name of a spice that is made from the inner bark of a tree. Also known as 'sweet wood', which spice is he seeking?

Answer: cinnamon

Cinnamon trees are native to South East Asia, and have been a valuable commodity for centuries. Cinnamon was so highly prized in the past that it was considered a gift appropriate for gods and monarchs. Nowadays, cinnamon is widely used in both cooking and baking, and while it tends to be more commonly used in sweet dishes, it is also regularly used as an addition to curries and pickles.
4. Clearly concentrating, TabbyTom is content to create a type of crossword puzzle in which the clues are puzzles in themselves. What type of crossword puzzle is he creating?

Answer: cryptic

Cryptic crosswords originated in the United Kingdom in the 1920s. There are basically two types - the cryptic and the variety cryptic. While they vary from average to impossible in difficulty levels, there are also variations of these two cryptic styles. Besides 'theme' puzzles and 'hidden word' puzzles, there are also reversals, charades, homophones and others.
5. TabbyTom can be caught cruising around the city in his convertible crafted by Rolls Royce. What classy car does he cruise in?

Answer: Corniche

The Corniche was produced from 1971 until 1996. In 2000, the fifth generation Corniche V was the most expensive model offered by Rolls Royce, with a price of $359,900.
The Corniche was also sold as a Bentley, although it became known as a Continental in 1984.
6. TabbyTom is in trouble! He cannot see which country - with the capital of Bogota - is home to both part of the Andes mountains and the Amazon rainforest. Which country is he wracking his brain to remember?

Answer: Colombia

Located in northwestern South America, Colombia is shadowed by the Andes Mountains, is part of the Ring of Fire, and contains both an area of the Orinoco River basin and the Amazon rainforest.
There are numerous 'tourist' sights to be enjoyed in Colombia - the UNESCO heritage site of Cartagena, the Guajira Peninsula and the Tatacoa Desert, to name just a few.
7. Happy hour is drawing near, and TabbyTom has decided a celebration is in order. What cocktail - made with vodka, triple sec and cranberry juice - is he considering?

Answer: cosmopolitan

The cosmopolitan gained widespread popularity in the USA after being featured on the television program 'Sex and the City.' It is also known as a 'cosmo', and is usually served in a martini glass. While the traditional method is to shake the ingredients, they can be stirred together instead, and there are numerous variations in the ingredients.
8. The letters 'Ch' have come up in the Crystal Ball, and TabbyTom smiles. He thinks of the name of a dance he is very familiar with - a dance that is almost a must at American weddings. Which fun fowl dance did he think of?

Answer: Chicken

Composed by a Swiss accordion player (Werner Thomas), the Chicken Dance was originally called 'The Duck Dance'. Over the years it was recorded and released under several names and nicknames, and eventually become a popular request at American weddings.
'A little bit of this, and a little bit of that...'
9. Cranky and churlish, TabbyTom is seeking something that will calm his cantankerous mood. A cup of tea may help, but what type?

Answer: chamomile

Besides reducing anxiety, chamomile is believed to help with sleeplessness, stomach upsets, muscle aches and colds. Usually brewed into a tea, and flavored with honey or lemon, it is also used in various lotions, salves and aromatherapy products.
10. Seeing all is very hard work, so TabbyTom is ready for an island retreat, where he can dip his toes into the Aegean Sea, visit the palm forest of Vai and wander through Knossos. Where is he going?

Answer: Crete

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, and also the most populous. It has a primarily temperate climate, and while tourism is a factor, Crete's economy is based mainly on agriculture.
Besides the beaches and palm forests, Crete has many sites for visitors - and residents - to enjoy. The gorge of Samaria, Heraklion, Gortys and Rethymno are just a few, and the Minoan sites at Knossos and Phaistos are just a couple of the many archaeological wonders of this island.
