Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. EXAMPLE: In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase meaning "enormous courage". (two words) (M____ H______, 5 and 7 letters respectively, singular and plural respectively, as well). The answer in this case would be MONDO HEROICS. Now for real! In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase meaning "approach shame". (PLEASE NOTE: US SPELLING USED - There's no U in CHONDRIOSOME).

Answer: COME DISHONOR

This is a somewhat archaic phrasing, used in expressions like, "Come Hell or high water" (which is actually a modern expression referencing the Biblical story of the great flood) or "Come what may". Both expressions are used to mean, "No matter what".

2. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase meaning "contemplate sapiens" .

Answer: CONSIDER HOMO

Humans are known as "homo sapiens" and, at present, we are the only specimens of the genus "Homo".

This was the opening phrase of one of my college anthropology professors just before he would wax profound on the joys of a subtle difference between man and other species of primates, "Consider homo sapiens,..." Even now, it inspires yawns and groans!

Answer: DOMINO CHORES

The game of dominoes is supposed to have originated in China in the 13th century, and each tablet represents one of the possible combinations when throwing dice.

Most children are wont to put off any annoying and boring tasks in favor of playing. I know I did when I was little. Didn't you do the same?

4. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a two-word phrase meaning "Biblical city that came to a bad end" plus "female singer-dancer".

Answer: SODOM CHORINE

I actually think that "Gomorrah Gold Digger" is catchier than "Sodom Chorine", but not all of the letters of the former were in CHONDRIOSOME, so I had to make do with the other city that God smote instead.

5. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all the letters to form a phrase, meaning "organic chemical substance that regulates cells or organs" plus "1970s dance hall".

Answer: HORMONE DISCO

I can just see this being the next hot place to go in Los Angeles or New York City... This disco would cater to the older set, including John Travolta, of "Saturday Night Fever" fame. Not that I'm implying that Mr. Travolta needs such aids for strenuous dancing or any other activities... He's just the first person that comes to mind when I think of disco music.

6. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase, meaning "flattened kiss".

Answer: IRONED SMOOCH

This sounds more like something out of a cartoon, where the two characters press their mouths together so hard that they smash their faces flat, or iron them.

7. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase, meaning "extinct prehistoric being" plus "cadgers or spongers".

Answer: DINO MOOCHERS

I'm not sure who dinosaurs would mooch off of, since they roamed the earth many millions of years before humans developed, but in theory, this stratum of prehistoric society could have existed.

8. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the the letters to form a phrase, meaning "more comfortable apartments".

Answer: HOMIER CONDOS

The coziness or comfort of a place is always an important criterion when house- or apartment-hunting.

9. In CHONDRIOSOME, there are two words. Anagram all of the letters to form a phrase that might be said by a frustrated senior officer to his somewhat inept crytographer on the third attempt to send a secret message, meaning DON'T " misencrypt homage". (Include ONLY the two words that are the anagram of CHONDRIOSOME) DON'T (M______ H_____, 7 and 5 letters, US SPELLING)

Answer: MISCODE HONOR

Ciphers and codes have fascinated humankind, almost as long as there have been systems of written communication.

Personally, I think it would be hard to encode and decode things under time pressures with someone looking over your shoulder. So I feel for the fictional cryptographer in this example. I hope he got it right the third time around.

Answer: DORM COHESION

Many find university housing or "dorms" (which is short for "dormitory" in the US) rather disorganized and confusing places to live. Many students are much happier when they choose apartment living with friends. I know that was the case with me after my first two years of living in the women's dorms.
