Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This is a small island country that was home to the first female prime minister in the entire world! Most who live in the country are Sinhalese. The name of the country means 'venerable island'. Its main exports are tea, coffee, coconuts, rubber, and cinnamon. But promise me you won't bring me back any coconuts. I hate coconut. What country might this be?

Answer: Sri Lanka

While all of answers may be islands that are to the east of the mainland, only Sri Lanka fits every clue. Sri Lanka was once known as Ceylon. Sri Lanka's capital city is Sri Jayawardenapura-Kotte. The first female prime minister was Sirimavo Bandaranaike.
2. This is a very famous candy that comes in a pouch and is carbonated. The candy crackles when in your mouth, making a funny noise and causing a weird feeling on your tongue. It even has a flavor that turns into a piece of bubble gum. Just promise me that you won't drink soda while you are eating the candy. I would really rather you not blow up. What explosive candy is this?

Answer: Pop Rocks

Pop Rocks were first sold in 1975. In 1983, they were taken off the market for a time. Some people believed that they were taken off the market because of a very famous urban legend. Apparently, a boy ate pop rocks and then drank some soda pop, and his stomach exploded.

Many people speculated that it was taken off the market because of the obvious hazard, but really, it was because they were not selling well. And besides, your stomach will not explode if you eat the candy with soda. So please, enjoy them together!
3. You may be quick on land, but I'm even quicker in the water. During this Olympics water competition, I like to use the trudgen. But promise me one thing: don't do the butterfly. I am terrified of butterflies. What Olympic water sport might this be?

Answer: Swimming

The trudgen is also known as the racing stroke. This stroke was developed by John Arthur Trudgen in 1873. Swimming can involve many different races. This can be the breaststroke, the backstroke, freestyle, and the butterfly.
4. The 35th President of the United States never even got to finish his first term. He was shot on November 22nd.

It reminds me of where this man was assassinated. In what year was the 35th President assassinated?

Answer: 1963

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, James Garfield was assassinated in 1881, and 1974 was when Richard Nixon resigned as President.

7. There are many different weather phenomena on Earth, like tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes. But some are actually a good thing. After it has precipitated, you may see some of these. But promise me you won't go searching for gold! You won't find any. What might these be?

Answer: Rainbows

After a rain, snow, or hail storm you may find rainbows in the sky. Sometimes there is a faint one, and sometimes there can be two bright ones! The rainbow is not "located" anywhere. It is simply seen. You will never find the end of a rainbow, because it moves as you move.
