Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If you are in trouble and need help, which of these Morse codes should you use?

Answer: SOS (dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot)

SOS is a code signal used all around the world for people in an emergency. It is most commonly used by ships at sea. AKA stands for 'also known as', which someone might write after their name. FYI stands for 'for your information', to inform you of something. TTFN stands for 'ta ta for now' and is a way of saying goodbye.

2. Which planet has the strongest gravity?

Answer: Jupiter

Jupiter has the strongest gravity (2.64 times that of Earth) because it is the largest of the planets and therefore has the strongest gravitational pull of any planet in the solar system. If you were able to walk on its surface, your legs would feel very heavy indeed!

3. Which of the Ancient Egyptian gods was a sun god who was in charge of all the others?

Answer: Ra

Anubis was the god of the dead, helping passage to the underworld. Horus was a sky god who had a head the shape of a falcon (as did Ra). Isis was a protective goddess, linked to nature and motherhood.

4. Which is the longest: The country of Chile, the Yangtze River, the Mediterranean Sea, or the River Nile?

Answer: The River Nile

The Nile is about 6650 km long, whilst Chile is a mere 4270 km. The Yangtze river is the third longest river in the world at around 6300 km. The Mediterranean Sea is approximately 4000 km long.

5. Which of the Mr Men only gets up in the afternoon and has a clock with only 4 hours for each day?

Answer: Mr Lazy

Mr Lazy is the only real Mr Man in the list. He sleeps most of the time and it takes him two hours to boil the kettle for a cup of tea.

6. Pythagoras created a theorem to find out the longest side of a right angled triangle. What did he call the longest side?

Answer: Hypotenuse

The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angled triangle; you can find its squared value by squaring the lengths of the other sides and adding them together. The other sides are the opposite side and the adjacent side. Obtuse is a type of angle that is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

7. In a piece of music that was written in 4/4 time, how many beats is a quaver worth?

Answer: Half of a beat

A semiquaver is worth a quarter of a beat. A crotchet is worth 1 beat. A minim is worth 2 beats.

8. In the Bible, from which tree did Adam and Eve eat the fruit to disobey God?

Answer: The tree of the knowledge of good and evil

They ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and immediately their eyes were opened and they realised they were naked. God cast them out of the Garden of Eden before they could eat of the tree of life and live forever. The other trees are made-up names.

9. What actually is yeast?

Answer: Tiny organisms that like to eat sugar

Yeast is a tiny single celled fungus that can only be seen through a microscope. When the yeast eats the sugar in bread dough, it gives off carbon dioxide gas (CO2) which makes the bread rise.

10. Which is the deepest place in the world (in the Pacific Ocean)?

Answer: The Mariana Trench

The Mariana Trench is approximately 11,000 metres deep at its deepest point and is in the Western Pacific Ocean. If you dropped Mount Everest into the trench at this point, it would be completely underwater!
