Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You find yourself in a small English city on the River Medway, with a ruined Norman castle and a historic cathedral. You are outside an old building, in a busy high street, looking up at a plaque which reads "This building was featured in many of Charles Dickens' novels". Which city are you in?
2. You find yourself in what looks like a barren wasteland, an unbearably hot and bright place. The brightness comes from the sun - there is not a cloud in the sky to obscure it. In the distance you can see triangular shapes glinting in the sunlight. As you wheel your machine closer you realise these "triangular shapes" are ancient buildings. Where are you?
3. You step out into a freezing cold land at the bottom of the world, covered in ice. The only other inhabitants are some penguins. You get back into the machine and get ready to leave quickly before you freeze to death. Where are you?
4. You see a sign that says "Esta el Zocalo. Fue la plaza principal de Tenochtitlan". From the little bit of Spanish you learnt at school you realise you are in what was the main square of a city that used to be called Tenochtitlan, in a Spanish speaking country. Where are you?
5. You find yourself looking on at the Grand Canyon. What river gouged this wonder out of the rock?
6. You're in Australia! You are looking upon the thing that local Aborigines call Uluru. What other name does it go by?
7. You find yourself in a tunnel, the world's longest tunnel, in fact. You look at a box on the wall. It has a telephone inside in case of emergencies. You find the English explanation of what to do and realise the tunnel is the Seikan Tunnel. Oh no! There's is a train coming so you better answer this question quick and get out of here! What country are you in?
8. You are overwhelmed by the amazing smell of freshly baked croissants! You are standing outside of a baker's shop. A large man cheerily shouts "Bonjour!", not seeming to mind that you have just popped out of nowhere! In the distance you can see a tall, black structure made of iron pointing up to the heavens. You quickly realise you are in a famous city. But what is the name of this city?
9. You decide to go home, to London. BUT you miss the spot, and can see some upright stones, standing in a circle, with others lying horizontally across the top. You've seen this place on television before - but where are you?
10. You get a train back to London with the machine as your luggage. You ignore the stares of other passengers as you wheel your invention onto the train. It's very tight for space! You think about all the places you have been, but can't decide whether you have seen any wonders of the world. Have you?
