Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ken is to Barbie as Alan is to who?

Answer: Midge

Midge Hadley was Barbie's closest friend. Christie was her first African-American friend, and Stacey was her British cousin. Pairing Skipper with Alan would have been pretty daring - since Skipper was Barbie's pre-teen sister.

2. Who dated Ned Nickerson and hung around with George Fayne and Bess Marvin?

Answer: Nancy Drew

Nancy's first mystery was the "Secret of the Old Clock," published in 1939 under the name Carolyn Keene. The titian-haired sleuth lived with her widowed father, Carson, and their faithful housekeeper, Hannah Gruen. The other answers were also girl detectives.

3. Which doll did NOT have hair that grew?

Answer: Betsy

Tressy was an 11 1/2 inch doll, so could wear Barbie's clothes. Chrissy and Velvet were larger, free-standing dolls. Betsy was a baby doll who wet herself after drinking a bottle.

4. What could you make with a weaving loom and yarn loops?

Answer: pot holder

You could crochet a purse or "granny square" vest or macram� a plant hangar, but you needed the loom to make a potholder.

5. What was the profession of Cherry Ames and Sue Barton?

Answer: Nurse

Cherry Ames did solve mysteries, but she was a professional nurse. She had a different job in each book: camp nurse, student nurse, army nurse, dude ranch nurse, cruise nurse, etc. Sue Barton starred in seven books. She starts out as a student, has several nursing jobs, and eventually marries Bill Barry.

6. Who was the Girl from U.N.C.L.E.?

Answer: April Dancer

April Dancer was played by Stephanie Powers. The character was originally going to be named Cookie Fortune, but Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond) suggested April Dancer. Honey West was a female private eye. Della Street was secretary to Perry Mason.

7. What toy allowed you to bake a cake using the heat of two 100-watt light bulbs?

Answer: Easy Bake Oven

The Easy Bake Oven was inducted into the Toy Hall of Tame in 2006 and in 2011 was named by "Time" magazine as one of the top 100 toys of all time. It was first made in 1963 by Kenner and was available in yellow or turquoise. In 2002 a version was marketed to boys as the "Queasy Bake Cookerator."

8. Which was NOT an option in the game Mystery Date?

Answer: Movie date

The fourth option was a beach date. The object of the game was to collect cards with all of the items that would make the complete outfit for your date. You won if you opened the door and your date matched your outfit!

9. What was Beany Malone's real name?

Answer: Catherine Cecilia

Beany Malone is the main character in 14 books written by Lenora Mattingly Weber. Beany lived with her family in Denver, Colorado.

Eventually, of course, she marries the boy next door, Carlton Buell.
