Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Multiply the number of colours in the rainbow by the number of seconds in a hour.

Answer: 25200

7 (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) x 3600 (seconds in a hour) = 25200.

2. Hours in a week divided by number of primary colours.

Answer: 56

168 (Hours in a week) / 3 (red, yellow and blue) = 56.

3. Subtract the number of Public/Bank Holidays in England in 2002 from the number of balls in a standard cricket over.

Answer: -3

6 (balls in an over) - 9 (New Years Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, May Day, Queen's Jubilee, Spring Bank Holiday, Summer Bank Holiday, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) = -3

Note: Public holidays and Bank Holidays are pretty much the same - all Banks would be shut on these days, but modern conceptions have transferred them more into being called "Public Holidays".

4. Number of letters in the alphabet multiplied by the number of integers between 1 and 10 (inclusive)?

Answer: 260

26 (letters in the alphabet) x 10 (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10) = 260.

5. Number of gold rings in the 12 Days of Christmas song multiplied by a baker's dozen.

Answer: 65

5 (Gold Rings) x 13 (Baker's Dozen) = 65.
