Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The highest possible amount of points in a single hand is __.

Answer: 29

In order for this to occur, the player must be holding 5-5-5-J, and the upcard must be the 5 that goes with the Jack in the hand.

2. In two player games using standard rules, how many cards are dealt to each player at the beginning of a hand?

Answer: 6

4 for the player's hand, 2 for the crib.

3. How much is a "pair royale" worth?

Answer: 6

A "pair royale" (or 3-of-a-kind) has 6 points because it contains 3 pairs, each worth 2 points.

4. The largest run that can be established in the pegging portion of a round is _ cards long.

Answer: 7

A-2-3-4-5-6-7 = 28pts.
An 8 chain would not be possible because it would yield 36 pts, far too many according to the rules.

5. Which of the following is worth one point?

Answer: both of these

Another option would be 1 card in a run.

6. How many points is the hand of 4-4-5-6-6 worth?

Answer: 24

8 for the 4 "15's", 4 for the pairs, and 12 for the 4 runs of 3.

Answer: 121

Losing a game by 1 is usually called being in the "stink hole."

8. In order to "skunk" your opponent, you must win by at least __ points.

Answer: 31

Winning by 30 would be a score of 91, just over the skunk line. 90 is the highest score that an opponent can get when being skunked.

9. The number of pegs usually on the board is _.

Answer: 4

2 pegs for each player.

10. Which amount is impossible to get in a hand?
