Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Take the code for a German website, a word meaning in good health, and an electrically charged particle, and insert 'in' for 'the meaning of a word'.

Answer: Definition

DE, fit and ion with 'in' inserted. The internet code for Germany is based on the name of the country in German - Deutschland. If you are feeling healthy, you can be described as fit (as a fiddle, maybe) and an ion is an electrically charged particle.

Putting 'in' in the middle gives the answer of definition - what you will find if you look up a word in a dictionary.
2. Take the word meaning the opposite to 'yes', a word for 'friend or partner' and insert 'in' for a word meaning 'propose for office'.

Answer: Nominate

No and mate with 'in' inserted. No is the antonym for yes, a friend can be a pal or mate with mate also referring to a partner, particularly in the animal world, and inserting 'in' creates the word nominate.

If you propose someone to serve on a committee, you nominate them.
3. Take the chemical symbol for silver, and 'a sovereign's establishment', and insert 'in' for a 1415 battle.

Answer: Agincourt

Ag and court with 'in' inserted. Ag is the symbol for silver, based on the name of argentum while a court can refer to a monarch's entourage or a place of law. Inserting in creates the name of Agincourt.

Agincourt was the location of a major battle in the Hundred Years' War between England and France which England won decisiively.
4. Take a short advertisement, a word for a light fog, and a word meaning 'to limit' (especially food), and insert 'in' for a word meaning management or government.

Answer: Administration

Ad, mist and ration with 'in' inserted. The word advertisement is often abbreviated as 'ad' while mist describe moisture in the air which is less dense than fog. Ration means an allocation of food, often used when supplies are scarce and limited, so that what is available is doled out proportionately. Inserting 'in' creates the word administration.

Administration refers to organising the day to day running of a business or government and is sometimes used to describe the government itself.
5. Take a word for hydrogen or oxygen, for example, and the Spanish word for bravo and insert 'in' for American petrol.

Answer: Gasoline

Gas and ole with 'in' inserted. Hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are just three of the gases while the Spanish people shout 'ole' when the English would call out bravo or hooray. Adding 'in' in the middle of these words creates gasoline.

Petrol or gasoline, depending on which side of the Atlantic you live, is what is needed in a car's tank to make it run.
6. Take the Italian word for 'with', the past tense of 'feed', and insert 'in' for a word meaning imprisoned.

Answer: Confined

Con and fed with 'in' inserted. Con is Italian for with or could be used in English as being short for 'confidence' when referring to a scam artist - a con man or woman. Another possibility is using it as shorthand for a convict (prisoner). Fed, in contrast, could be used as shorthand for a member of the FBI as well as meaning 'to have eaten'.

If you are confined, you are not free. In the past, it was also use to refer to women who are about to give, or have given, birth. You will often see confinement being used in Victorian era novels in this sense.
7. Take the chemical symbol for chlorine, and a measurement of weight, and insert 'in' for a former American president.

Answer: Clinton

Cl and ton with 'in' inserted. Chlorine is a type of gas often used to purify water, especially in swimming pools. A ton can refer to a heavy weight literally or figuratively - 'that shopping weighed a ton', for example.

Bill Clinton was the US President from 1993 until 2001.
8. Take the prefix meaning 'again', and one of the 50 parts of the USA, and insert 'in' for a word meaning restore to original position.

Answer: Reinstate

Re and state with 'in' inserted. As a prefix, re is used to mean again as in 'reiterate' or 'reinstall'. It can also mean 'about' - 're your recent letter', for example. The USA is divided into fifty different states.

If you reinstate something or somebody you are reversing a decision to remove or demote them and placing them back where they were.
9. Take an abbreviation for doctor, and 'a monarch', and insert 'in' for imbibing.

Answer: Drinking

Dr and king with 'in' inserted. The word doctor is abbreviated as Dr. when writing about someone with medical or academic qualifications. A monarch is a male ruler, known as a king, while the female equivalent is a queen.

Drinking means to take in liquids, either alcoholic or non-alcoholic versions.
10. Take the letter of the alphabet that sounds like a favourite English drink, and a louse egg, with a word for 'you and me', and insert 'in' for ringing in the ears.

Answer: Tinnitus

T and nit and us with 'in' inserted. T is the twentieth letter of the English alphabet and a single louse egg is a nit. If you talk about yourself and another person, you mean 'us'.

Tinnitus describes a noise, often, but not always, a ringing or buzzing one, that can be heard only by the person suffering from it. Medicine finds it hard to come up with an explanation for this in many instances.
