Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Agent Quentin Alphabet was more than a bit disturbed about the call he'd received this morning in his little office. The caller had told him that the quest he was about to embark upon was of utmost importance for the nation. Since he'd been phoned by the ruler of the Empire, Quentin had a right to be flummoxed. Whose call got the poor fellow in such a state?
2. Looking down at the notes he had taken during the call, Quentin checked the information he'd been given. A very valuable piece of jewelry has gone missing and there was one person who had seen it last - the man who had fixed the cabinet that held the item. Who will Quentin have to question first?
3. The interview with the help got our agent a bit further. He found out that when the caretaker was about to start the repair, a young woman took the jewel out to have it cleaned. The man couldn't remember much about the woman's appearance, but one thing had stuck in his memory. Her jacket had a very distinctive pattern, resembling fur he'd seen on a zoo animal last week. The black and white looked very good on her. What animal was he talking about?
4. The young lady in the black and white jacket was easy to find. She told Quentin that she had taken the jewel to the goldsmith to have it cleaned. After she'd returned to the palace, she'd handed it over to her superior, who was supposed to lock it away again. It was obvious that the girl didn't get along too well with the elderly woman that supervised her. She must be a real - what?
5. Unfortunately, it was impossible for Quentin to speak with the supervisor in person. He was only allowed to have a brief conversation with her on the phone because the poor woman had come down with a rather bad bout of what is usually considered a children's disease. What viral infection made her so highly contagious?
6. The short interview was enough to determine the next person the jewel had been handed to. According to the supervisor, she'd given it to her husband. He was supposed to place it back into the repaired cabinet. Her upbringing in a naval family was obvious when she threatened to drag her husband under the ship once she was well enough to do so. What did the woman threaten to punish her husband with?
7. On his search for the jewel-bearing husband, he made his way to the couple's chambers, where he suspected the man might be. Alas, Quentin was delayed by the cook, who asked to fetch him a bucket of H2O. What does he have to get?
8. Finally, Quentin found the supervisor's husband in the garden under a tree. The good man had already had a pint too many and before he would give the agent any answers, Quentin had to agree that the man's wife was as stubborn as what Himalayan bovine?
9. In the end, our frustrated agent managed to get the answer he'd been waiting for. Since he was aware that the man had a hearing impairment, Quentin wasn't surprised that the jewel had not been placed in the CABINET, but WITH THE CLARINET. Too bad, the fellow didn't know his woodwind instruments. He placed the jewel with the --?
10. After a long quest, the valuable jewel was finally back in the secure cabinet where it belonged. Her Majesty was delighted and to celebrate this joyous occasion, she invited Quentin to a wonderful banquet. What did they have?
