Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Horrice has been invited to organise his stamp collecting club's outdoor group photo. They ask Horrice to organise the photo so that the sun is directly BEHIND them. It is 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Which direction should Horrice tell the group to face when he takes the photo?

Answer: East

The sun sets in the West so the group needs to face East so the sun is behind them. Horrice takes the best group photo ever taken and is given a nice little certificate.
2. Horrice has an extremely rare allergy to the breath of ringtail possums. He is going to book a holiday but doesn't know which country to avoid so as not to have a reaction to the possums. Which country should you stop him visiting so he doesn't see any ringtail possums?

Answer: Australia

The ringtail possum is a nocturnal marsupial. It is called the ringtail possum (not surprisingly) because of its distinctive white ring patterns on its tail. It is a native animal of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Just as well Horrice decides to go to France.
3. On his way back from holiday, Horrice is stopped in customs. He is getting quite upset because he doesn't know what he has to declare. You better tell him which to declare before he is given a hefty prison sentence.

Answer: An opened packet of sunflower seeds bought in France

When you enter a country you must declare all food products, including fresh, dried, canned and frozen foods. Unfortunately Horrice thought you said his keys not his seeds, so he is sentenced to 15 years in a maximum security prison.
4. In prison, Horrice is trying to appeal his sentence and needs to contact a member of the French government who was in power in 2006 to help him clear his name. Who should you tell him to contact?

Answer: Jacques Chirac

Jacques Chirac was elected President of France in 1995. Unfortunately he won't answer Horrice's calls. Luckily Horrice has a good lawyer to get his sentence repealed in court.
5. Now Horrice is a free man, he needs a new job. Horrice can sometimes have quite specific criteria when picking jobs and says he wants to work for the very first franchise opened by the McDonald's Corporation in the world. (picky huh?) Where would you send his application?

Answer: Des Plaines, Illinois

He got the job! Now he has to move to Des Plaines, Illinois! The first McDonald's franchise opened in Des Plaines, Illinois by McDonald's Corporation founder, Ray Kroc, on April 15, 1955. They even had to manually peel all the potatoes for the French Fries!
6. Now Horrice has settled in his job, he wants to meet a girl and start a family. He is told he should learn to dance to impress a woman. What traditional bridal dance, performed by the bride and groom, should you teach him to get ready for his wedding?

Answer: Waltz

Left together, right together... Horrice is finally getting it, he has met a girl and they are now expecting a baby!
Joe Cocker's 'You are so Beautiful' still remains as one of the most popular bridal waltz songs.
7. Horrice's new wife gives birth to a healthy baby boy and wants to name him after a singer he loves. This singer wrote a song in memory of a famous American woman and a famous British royal after their deaths. (It was the same tune but had different lyrics for each of the women.) Whom do you tell him to name his son after?

Answer: Elton John

It seems to Horrice that Elton lived his life like a candle in the wind. Elton John sang 'Candle in the Wind' in 1973 in honour of Marilyn Monroe. In 1997 the song was reworded for a tribute song for Princess Diana.
8. Horrice wants to teach his new son to read and write before he goes to school. He wants to read a book to his son but doesn't know which of the following authors are children's writers. Which author should you tell Horrice to read from?

Answer: Enid Blyton

Enid Blyton is a British writer who has written children's classics such as 'Noddy' and the 'Famous Five' series along with many others. All this reading has put Horrice to sleep, he says he isn't feeling very well.
9. Horrice has been taken to the hospital (sad, I know)! He is told he has to get a mastectomy. He is too busy playing with his belly button, so isn't listening to the doctor. He asks you what a mastectomy is. What do you tell him?

Answer: Removal of a breast (breast cancer)

Mastectomy is the removal of one or both breasts. Only rarely is it performed on men. Luckily for Horrice it turns out the doctor mixed up the test results and it is just indigestion after all.
10. Horrice's helper is back from stress leave and wants to thank you for your help. He wants to take you out to buy you GUJEOLPAN but doesn't know which restaurant to take you to. Where do you tell him to make bookings?

Answer: Korean restaurant

Gujeolpan is a Korean dish fit for royalty. It is only served on special occasions like weddings. It consists of traditional vegetables and meats (usually pork) as well as thin pancakes.

After the meal, Horrice is gone and you can go back to your normal everyday life. I'm sure the next few days will be quite lonely without your new found friend... Horrice.
