Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these is not a computer programming language?

Answer: Desktop Publishing

Hyper Text Markup Language is more commonly known as HTML. C++ and Visual Basic are very common computer programming languages. Desktop publishing uses other programs to create documents.

2. How many types of plagues (affecting humans) are there?

Answer: 3

There are three types of plague: bubonic, pneumonic and septicemic. The bubonic plague affects lymph nodes; pneumonic plague affects lungs; and septicemic plague affects blood.

3. What is 'x' in 'x^2+7x+12=0' (^ means 'to the power of')?

Answer: x= -3 or x= -4

Only -3 and -4 fit this quadratic equation. x^2 +7x + 12 = 0 can be rewritten in factorized form as (x+3)(x+4) = 0. Since the product of the two factors is zero, one of them must be zero. So either x+3=0 or x+4=0, which means that x must equal either -3 or -4. Use factorisation to be quick.

4. Roughly halfway between which two big cities would you find Milton Keynes?

Answer: Oxford and Cambridge

The two great university cities of Cambridge and Oxford are just over 100km apart. Milton Keynes lies 47km north-east of Oxford and slightly further from Cambridge. The new town was designed in 1960. It was made with four towns and 13 villages.
