Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What type of bird laughs from the old gum tree?

Answer: kookaburra

Kookaburra birds are native to Australia and New Guinea. Their call sounds very similar to a loud human laugh. The hint in this question comes from the children's song about the kookaburra. The lyrics are quite entertaining, including the first verse:

"Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!"

The kookaburra is a type of kingfisher. It is in the Dacelo genus. Dacelo is an anagram of alcedo, which is the Latin word for kingfisher.
2. What is a common sausage served at Oktoberfest?

Answer: knackwurst

Knackwurst, or knockwurst are German sausages that are made from finely ground pork with lots of garlic. They are a staple at Oktoberfest celebrations. The name of these sausages comes from the German word "knacken", which means "to crack". This is likely a reflection of the sound that the casing makes when it is bitten into. Knackwurst, or knockwurst, are typically eaten with sauerkraut and mustard.
3. What is a hemispherical drum that is in the percussion section of the orchestra?

Answer: Kettledrum

The kettledrum is a deep drum made of copper, fiberglass, or wood that has a membrane pulled across the top. The tension of the membrane can be adjusted to change the pitch of the drum. Kettledrums range in size from about 33 inches in diameter down to about 12 inches in diameter.

Many classical composers such as Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven included music for kettledrums in their pieces.
4. What equipment do swimmers use to support their arms while training their legs?

Answer: Kickboards

Kickboards are important for swim training. When swimming, there's a lot happening, from breathing and moving the arms, to kicking through the water. In order for swimmers to isolate their legs in the water, they use kickboards. The boards are made of styrofoam, so float and support the swimmer's upper body while allowing them to focus on the movement of their legs.
5. What is a term for someone who uses the computer component pictured?

Answer: Keyboarder

A keyboarder is someone whose job is to input, or type data into a computer using a keyboard. Some think that a musician who plays a keyboard is called a keyboarder. However, in current usage, a person who plays music on a keyboard is most often called a pianist or a keyboardist.
6. What is a South African gold coin?

Answer: Krugerrand

The Krugerrand was first minted in 1967 in an attempt to market the private ownership of South African gold. At first, the coins were rather popular with gold investors around the world, but they became less popular towards the end of the 20th century. This was because many countries did not allow their citizens to import South African gold due to that country's apartheid policies. When apartheid ended, trade in South African Krugerrands once again became popular around the world.

The Krugerrand has no actual face value, but earns its value by the weight of the gold in the coin. South Africa's national animal, the pronking springbok, appears on one side of the coin. Paul Kruger, the former President of the South African Republic, appears on the opposite side of the coin. The name "Krugerrand" is actually a compound of his name and the word "rand", the unit of currency in South Africa.
7. What do some bike riders use to keep their bikes upright when they stop riding?

Answer: kickstands

Kickstands can be found on both bicycles and motorcycles. They are a relatively short piece of metal that sits against the frame of the bike when not in use. When the rider dismounts, the kickstand can be "kicked" down with the foot. When it makes contact with the ground, the bike will stay in a vertical position without leaning against another object or a person.

When the rider is ready to use the bike again, the kickstand can be "kicked" up with the foot to its resting place against the frame of the bike.
8. What were Sir Elton John, Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and Sir Michael Caine all granted by Queen Elizabeth II?

Answer: Knighthood

A knighthood is a title that is given to a man by a British king or queen for outstanding achievements and services to his country. Once they have been granted a knighthood, they can put "Sir" in front of their names instead of "Mr." The female equivalent of a knighthood is a damehood.
9. What unit do many countries use to measure distances between cities?

Answer: Kilometres

This measure of distance is spelled kilometre or kilometer. Most countries in the world use kilometres to measure the distance between cities. Notable exceptions are the US and the UK that continue to use miles as a measure of distance well into the 21st century. A kilometre is the equivalent of one thousand metres, or 0.621 miles.
10. What is this weight-training ball with a handle called?

Answer: kettlebell

The kettlebell is made of cast iron or cast steel. The ball shape with the handle allows lifters to engage in both strength and flexibility training, as well as cardiovascular exercises. Kettlebells come in a variety of weights that are identified by colour.

For example, pink kettlebells weigh eight kilograms, while gold kettlebells weigh a hefty forty-eight kilograms. There is a competitive sport called kettlebell lifting that is similar to weightlifting.
