Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which American board game was invented in 1860 and revived in 1960, in which players proceed from infancy to maturity and encounter challenges/impediments along their way?

Answer: The Game of Life

When "The Game of Life" was invented by Milton Bradley, it was sold as "The Checkered Game of Life." The modern version allows a player to reach major events: college graduation, marriage, jobs, the birth of children. The 1960 revision got a tremendous boost from the endorsement of Art Linkletter. The game was so iconic of the period that it is in the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.


Question by player FatherSteve
2. A "full English breakfast" or "fry up" often includes black pudding. What exactly is black pudding?

Answer: blood sausage

Doubtless to the horror of observant Jews and Jehovah's Witnesses (both of which abstain from consuming blood), blood sausage is made throughout Europe. Discarding blood at slaughtering seems wasteful of protein which can be captured and consumed in the form of so-called "black pudding." British blood sausages contain coagulated pig's blood, either pork fat or beef suet, a grain (typically oats or barley) and seasoning (especially pennyroyal).


Question by player FatherSteve
3. Which of these ingredients is ALWAYS in a traditional Irish Shepherd's Pie?

Answer: Mashed potatoes

Shepherd's Pie is a traditional Irish comfort food, usually made with ground lamb and vegetables (usually onions and carrots). The traditional Irish version is always covered with a crust of delicious mashed potatoes.

Question by player Mbovary
4. A philatelist is a collector of what item?

Answer: stamps

Question by player Stelth
5. Propagating plants by air-layering involves cutting partway into the stem of a living plant, applying a medium like moss encased in plastic wrap to the cut, keeping the moss moist, and waiting. What are you waiting for?

Answer: Roots to grow into the moss

Air-layering creates new roots closer to the leaves for a plant that has lost its lower leaves or become "leggy". It isn't the best option for all plants, but it can be very effective for plants that are hard to propagate by other means. The technique is thought to have originated in China centuries ago, but it was hard for the average person to keep the moss moist continually until plastic wrap was available.

Once the ball of moss has a network of visible roots, you cut the stem of the plant off just below the air layer site, and replant the plant with the new root system.

6. What is the most powerful piece in chess in terms of movement capabilities?

Answer: Queen

The Queen has the power to go in any direction(horizontal, vertical, diagonal) however many spaces it wants to unless impeded by another piece. Although the King is the most important piece in chess, it is not that powerful, being only able to move one square at a time.
