Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following describes a legendary sea monster with many tentacles that was capable of bringing enormous ships crashing to the ocean's floor?

Answer: Kraken

A kraken has been described in many ways, but it generally includes an enormous creature like an octopus or squid, with many tentacles and a very bad attitude. Although they are fictional, kraken have been featured in a variety of poems, literature and movies, such as in Herman Melville's "Moby Dick," a sonnet by Alfred Tennyson entitled "The Kraken," or in films such as Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean."
2. Which of the following describes a playful, smart, fuzzy, furry, double-coated black & silver dog that originates from Holland?

Answer: Keeshond

Keeshonds are sweet and lovable dogs that resemble big fluff balls due to their heavy double-coat. They are known for being gentle and obedient, but they have a very loud bark that can become a nuisance if owners don't regulate the frequency of their barking fits.
3. Which of the following describes a flowering-fruit plant and small orange fruit frequently used for jams, marmalades and candies?

Answer: Kumquat

Kumquats are sweet and similar to oranges, although much smaller, as they are only a bit larger than an olive. They originate from eastern Asia, but they are also celebrated annually in Dade City, Florida with their Kumquat Festival.
4. Which of the following describes a discipline and school of thought which seeks definition on life, the universe, and our co-existence?

Answer: Kabbalah

There are non-Judaic forms of Kabbalah, such as variations tied to the Occult, Christianity, and New Age ideology, but many attribute its originating principles, foundations and literature with Judaism. One dominating form is Lurianic Kabbalah, which is named for the rabbi who 'defined' it; the famous Kabbalah Center focuses on this form.
5. Which of the following describes a small South & Central American mammal that moves through the trees and has a long tail used for climbing?

Answer: Kinkajou

Kinkajous are similar to small monkeys or raccoons and can sometimes be kept as exotic pets. They predominantly eat fruits and are considered omnivores; because they live in the canopies of the rainforest, their primary concern is deforestation.
6. Which of the following describes an Israeli collective community focused on agriculture, which encourages and allows people from across the globe to visit, contribute, and live in the community for a period of time?

Answer: Kibbutz

Kibbutzes, as they are known today, have been in existence in Israel since the end of the 19th century, but the United Kibbutz Movement wasn't started until 1927. The practices, beliefs and structures of kibbutzes has changed drastically since this time due to political climates, religious uprisings and various cultural forces; however, the founding principles of communal living remain and people continue to travel to Israel to participate in kibbutzes.
7. Which of the following describes an electromechanical horn that makes a sound like "awooga"?

Answer: Klaxon

A klaxon is a type of vehicle horn that is found in cars, ships, and trains. While these types of horns have generally been replaced in vehicles and automobiles, the term and sound itself is still defined and synonymous with 'vehicle horns' in countries such as France, Japan, Russia, Poland, and the Netherlands, just to name a few.
8. Which of the following describes a T-shaped traditional Japanese garment secured with an 'obi' sash?

Answer: Kimono

While kimonos used to be worn by everyone, in modern Japan, kimonos worn predominantly by women and Sumo wrestlers; men only wear them for formal events, such as weddings. There are several different types of kimonos, some more formal than others, and some which are used only for certain events or ceremonies, such as weddings, performances, or tea ceremonies.
9. Which of the following describes a Marvel Comics superheroine, a hamlet on Fire Island in New York state, a song by Elvis, and a popular euphemism for destiny and fate?

Answer: Kismet

Kismet is many things, as you see from the question, but it generally describes a feeling of fate or destiny when events occur, as if they were 'meant to be.' On top of everything listed above, kismet is also the name for a Finnish chocolate bar, an Australian rock band, a play by Edward Knoblock, and a dice game, just to name a few; it is truly a versatile word.
10. Which of the following describes a vintage brand of figurines and dolls that resemble babies, but with cherub features and big, bright eyes?

Answer: Kewpie

Kewpie dolls originated in the Midwest and are now very collectible; they are also the longtime mascot of Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri. In 1909, their creator, Rose O'Neill, described them best, saying they were "a sort of little round fairy whose one idea is to teach people to be merry and kind at the same time."
