Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The first thing I look for (and hopefully find!) in my pocket is my keys. I have a Swiss Army knife attached to my keys. Which is the Original Swiss Army Knife manufacturer?

Answer: Victorinox

Victorinox has supplied knives to the Swiss Army since 1891. There was another manufacturer, Wenger, also supplying the Swiss Army (who advertised their product as the Genuine Swiss Army Knife) but Victorinox took over Wenger in 2005. The Leatherman is another useful tool, but, at least here in the UK, each brand has its devotees who wouldn't dream of switching! My Swiss Army Knife has pliers, tweezers and many other useful blades and I would be lost without it.
2. The next thing I find in my pocket is my Motorola Razr, one of my two mobile (or cell) phones. What is the UK code from abroad if you wanted to call me?

Answer: +44

Yes, to dial the UK from abroad you call +44 and then leave the leading zero off the number. France is +33, Brazil is +55 and I'm not really surprised to find no country starts +666 (although Thailand is +66)
3. I really should clear my pockets out more often! Here's my car parking ticket from when I went to see Scotland play New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup 2007. I parked at Scotland's home ground in Edinburgh - what is it called?

Answer: Murrayfield

Scotland play their home games at Murrayfield in Edinburgh, and although the 2007 World Cup was actually set in France, both Scotland and Wales played some matches at home. Of the wrong answers, The Millennium Stadium is Wales' home ground in Cardiff, England play their home games at Twickenham and Stade Francais is home to France.
4. Good grief, here's a book of matches in the shape of a beer bottle from a restaurant I visited! Given that the brand of beer is called 'Gurkha', what sort of restaurant did I pick these up in?

Answer: Nepalese

The Gurkhas are the people of Nepal and northern India, who have been supplying very fine soldiers to the British Army for nearly 200 years. Incidentally, Nepalese food is delicious too and 'Gurkha' was a very nice beer.
5. I've also got a silly promotional badge for Guinness which was given out to coincide with the Cheltenham Gold Cup, which is always held around St. Patrick's Day. What's the date of St. Patrick's Day?

Answer: March 17

Yes, March 17 for St. Patrick, and the breweries give out hats and t-shirts and badges - and they remain in my pocket for months and years afterwards. The wrong answers are all dates of the UK's patron Saints, March 1 for St. David (Wales), April 23 for St. George (England) and November 30 for St. Andrew (Scotland).
6. I've got some chocolates in a bag in my pocket, too, to give as a treat to any friendly dogs I happen to meet. It's special dog chocolate - why?

Answer: Because chocolate for humans can poison dogs

Cocoa beans naturally contain a stimulant called theobromine. It increases urination and can give dogs epileptic fits and heart attacks. Bitter chocolate or cacao is the most dangerous. However, a dog would need to eat 100-200 mg of theobromine per kg of its body weight, so don't panic if Rover has stolen a square of Dairy Milk. However, it's better to be safe than sorry, which is why I carry doggy chocs.
7. Another ticket for a recent trip to watch the Rugby World Cup - this is a RER ticket to Roissy CDG. This is for one of Paris' airports. What does CDG stand for in this context?

Answer: Charles de Gaulle

Charles De Gaulle (named after the French statesman) is Paris' largest airport. It is 14 miles (23 kilometres) from Paris, and one of the ways you can get there (as I did) from Paris is on the RER (Réseau Express Régional - Regional Express Network).
8. I've also got a pretty little heart in my pocket. It was made by the famous jeweller, Tiffany and is engraved 'Please return to Tiffany and Co. New York'. Beneath that are the numerals 925. What does this mean?

Answer: The heart is made of Sterling Silver

The 925 shows that it is made from Sterling Silver, or 92.5% silver. Solid gold would have been marked 999 - showing it was 99.9% gold.
9. There's also a jar of tablets in my pocket. Given that they are small, white, and taste mostly of sugar, what sort of tablets are they?

Answer: Homeopathic remedy

Aspirin and paracetamol do not taste of sugar and 'Medicinal Compound' is found in the Scaffold's novelty song 'Lily the Pink'. Homeopathic remedies contain minute dilutions of substances either in a tincture or, in this case, in a sugar pill.
10. Here's a hotel receipt, from when I stayed at the Hotel Adlon Kempinski, which stands on the famous street 'Unter den Linden'. In which city is this hotel?

Answer: Berlin

The impressive hotel stands by the Brandenburg Gate and has been rebuilt after its destruction in the Second World War. It is extremely luxurious, but luckily I wasn't paying! I hope you've enjoyed this journey through my pocketses, but sadly no 'precious'!
