Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Pinkie

Pinkies are newly-born mice. They are naked and, well, pink. Fuzzies, as their name implies, are a bit larger and are growing hair.

2. The most famous works by composer Richard Wagner are a series of operas commonly known as the "____________ Cycle."

Answer: Ring

The cycle's full name is "Der Ring des Nibelungen." or "The Ring of the Dwarves." It is is series of four operas, "Das Rheingold," "Die Walkure," "Siegfried," and "Gotterdammerung," loosely based on Norse mythology. Wagner was an eccentric and a ferocious anti-Semite, and performance of "The Ring Cycle" was banned in Israel until 2000.

3. The "Merck ________," published by Merck & Co is the massive manual devoted to listing extensive data on chemicals.

Answer: Index

The Merck Index- This gigantic book contains exhaustive data on over 10,000 pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals. Chemistry students don't want to carry it in their backpacks!

The "Merck Manual" is a comprehensive medical textbook, published in three editions, for human medicine, veterinary medicine and geriatrics. The other books do not exist.

4. What breed of dog is depicted in the logo of the Westminster Kennel Club?

Answer: Pointer

The dog, Sensation, was owned by the original Westminster Kennel Club, a group of gentlemen who got together to share their fondness for sporting dogs.

Answer: Middle

According to such theorists, middle children have lower self-esteem because they are not "unique," but are good peacemakers because they have learned to negotiate with their siblings.

6. What is the area of Michigan's lower peninsula that juts into Lake Huron called?

Answer: The Thumb

A popular vacation destination, one of the towns in the Thumb is whimsically named "Bad Axe." The area is called the Thumb because the lower peninsula resembles a mitten.

7. A nickname for the state of Rhode Island is "___________ Rhody."

Answer: Little

Rhode Island is, of course, the smallest state.

8. What is the name of the New Guinea tribe amongst which the disease kuru was first discovered?

Answer: Fore

Kuru is a disease spread by prions, the same type of agent that causes mad cow disease. It was the first prion disease to be discovered. It causes paralysis and death in its victims. The disease is spread by cannibalism- the Fore had complicated ancestor-eating rituals.

9. Which of these terms only applies to any one of the symbols 0 to 9?

Answer: Digit

Numeral and number can refer to any number of digits.

10. Finally, what is the common theme of all of these answers?

Answer: Finger

Yes, indeed, they are all names for the fingers- thumb, pointer, index, middle, fore, ring, little, pinkie, and digits as the collective noun. I am surprised that although the human opposable thumb is so special, it has only one name!
