A Picture Quiz on a Bunch of Things

A dentist and gambler by trade, Doc Holliday had been in a few gunfights previously and was a long-time friend of the Earps. He was only grazed in the 1881 Arizona gunfight and died of tuberculosis in Colorado in 1887, at age 36.

Answer: Key West, Florida

It was Bogie and Bacall in Key Largo but Jimmy Buffett staked his claim to fame in Key West, as far south as you can go on the mainland. The southernmost point in the continental United States is at the corner of Whitehead and South streets. The actual marker looks like...a giant can of shaving cream!

Answer: by its height

With the saguaro, it's all about the height, which can be as much as 60 feet (18 meters); some have been known to live over 150 years. An iconic symbol of the American Southwest, saguaros may or may not grow arms; if they do it usually takes at least 75 years.

They are indigenous to the Sonoran Desert of Mexico and Arizona and some parts of California. They produce white flowers at the end of their arms in May and June.

Answer: Mammoth

Mammoth Cave (officially Mammoth-Flint Ridge Cave System) extends under three counties in Kentucky, U.S.A. It has over 400 miles (643 km) of explored caves; more are added each year. There is evidence of it being used since 8,000 B.C

Answer: Cannery Row

John Steinbeck was a native Californian and many of his stories had Monterey County as their basis. "Cannery Row" was about a group of characters in the city of Monterey, trying to do as little work as possible and going to work in one of the fish canneries only as a last resort. Steinbeck was thinking of Ocean View Avenue when he wrote the book and Monterey later renamed it Cannery Row in honor of the book.

Answer: Capricorn

The Tropic of Capricorn is the southernmost latitude where the sun passes directly overhead. That occurs on the day of the December solstice.

Answer: Kon-Tiki

Thor Heyerdahl believed humans had sailed from South America to Polynesia in prehistoric times. In 1947, he built a raft with a cabin made out of balsa, bamboo and hand-woven manila rope and named it after an ancient Incan high priest, Con-Tiki. He and a crew of five made the successful voyage from Callao, Peru to Raroia, French Polynesia in 101 days.

Answer: Burning Man

Started by two friends in San Francisco, California in 1986, Burning Man moved to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada in 1990. The week-long late August art festival features many pyrotechnic and other events culminating in its namesake event, the burning of a 40 ft (12 m) wooden man effigy.

The radical self-expression of the thousands attending eventually led to such mundane restrictions as a speed limit in the area, a grid street structure and a ban on driving motor vehicles. It now has its own "brand".

Answer: Richard III

The remains of Richard III were found in September, 2012, under a car parking lot in Leicester, England, at the spot where the Church of the Grey Friars once stood. His body was quickly buried there after he was killed in the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 22, 1485.

The remains were identified as his by comparing DNA from one of the body's teeth to mitochondrial DNA from the last two female descendants of Richard.

Answer: Messerschmitt

The KR200, or Kabinenroller (Cabin Scooter) was a three-wheeled car which seated two, one behind the other. Messerschmitt produced it from 1955 to 1964. Called the Bubble Car because of its clear top, which opened sideways to allow access, it was also produced in a roadster version. Having a 9.9 hp (7.4 kW) engine, it could reach speeds of 90 km/h (56 mph); it was a very popular urban car.
