Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Kamchatka Peninsula, home of Russia's Pacific submarine fleet, is also home to several UNESCO World Heritage sites. What 'active' Kamchatka features dominate these lists?

Answer: volcanoes

Some tender leftover morsels! Dry meatloaf:

The Kamchatka Peninsula on the Pacific Ocean looms high north above Japan and is near the Bering Sea. Much of the Russian submarine fleet is located here and the area is dominated by the military. The tourism industry is growing, though, and this is due, in part, to its wildlife and natural beauty. The volcanoes of Kamchatka were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996. Nineteen active volcanoes are on the list (there are about thirty active on the peninsula and around 160 volcanoes all together).
2. Mentioned in the texts of such philosophers as Sophocles, Plato, and Aristotle, the prophesier and oracle who saw visions from Apollo was called the Pythia. In which city was she located?

Answer: Delphi

Some tender leftover morsels! Sweaty cheddar cheese:

The Pythia was a prominent female figure in Greece's male-dominated society. She served as the medium between Apollo and those who were seeking his advice. The word 'Pythia' comes from 'Pytho', an earlier name for Delphi. 'Pytho' is derived from 'Python', the beast that Apollo slew and is the resting place of its body.
3. Playing an obsessive-compulsive detective, which Arab-American actor has won multiple Emmys for his role on the television show "Monk"?

Answer: Tony Shalhoub

Some tender leftover morsels! Stale crescent rolls:

Shalhoub, born to a Lebanese-American family, was raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He worked in Broadway for a while and then moved on to television with his role as Antonio Scarpacci on the show "Wings". His most noted role, though, comes from his Emmy-winning role as Adrian Monk, a detective with OCD and several ludicrous phobias.
4. During WWII, which Allied leader had an enormous underground command structure known as Paddock built in a suburban area of Dollis Hill?

Answer: Winston Churchill

Some tender leftover morsels! Spoiled wine:

The hidden bunker was built to house Winston Churchill's Cabinet War Room during World War II to protect it from the types of bombing raids that plagued London. The complex was only used twice during the war and has since rarely been used for much else. Ironically, the bunker was meant to be secured from below in case they were under attack, but the engineers forgot to construct any bathrooms. Churchill apparently hated the place for this very reason.
5. Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee, fictional characters in many of Tony Hillerman's novels, belong to the Tuba City district of what real world law enforcement agency?

Answer: Navajo Tribal Police

Some tender leftover morsels! Slimy Caesar salad:

Hillerman's characters, Chee and Leaphorn, are both Navajo, however, Joe Leaphorn had less Navajo influence when he was growing up. Chee, who had wanted to be a Navajo medicine man for quite some time, grew up with Navajo traditions. The two became friends when they joined the Navajo Tribal Police, even though their ideologies sometimes clashed.
6. The holes (or 'eyes') in Swiss cheeses are made artificially by machines.

Answer: False

Some tender leftover morsels! Cold bacon:

There are several different types of Swiss cheese, though in Western countries, Swiss cheese is a general term. Emmental is probably the most popular of the Swiss cheeses. Most companies, however, manufacture a processed version of Swiss cheese that is on a category of its own.

The eyes of the Swiss cheese are produced by carbon dioxide, as a result of bacterial waste. The bacteria are released into the cheeses and as their colonies grow within, they produce more and more carbon dioxide, which increases the size of the holes. Don't worry, the bacteria are long dead before they get to the kitchen table.
7. Refractive surgery on the eye is utilized so that people won't have to rely on wearing glasses or contact lenses. The most common medium is the laser and the most popular surgery is LASIK. Which part of the eye is reshaped during these procedures?

Answer: cornea

Some tender leftover morsels! Congealed chicken-noodle soup:

Refractive surgery helps improve an eye's ability to refract light. A laser or other object is used to reshape the cornea. Many of the operations consist of cutting through the cornea, creating a flap. Then the surgeon will have access to the tissue underneath, which they will remove with a laser.

LASIK is an acronym for Laser Assisted In-Situ Keratomileusis.
8. Which Egyptian hieroglyphic character do the Coptic Christians of Egypt use as a symbol of life after death?

Answer: ankh

Some tender leftover morsels! Warm sushi rolls:

The Copts in Egypt are a religious minority in their country, sometimes limited of their religious freedoms due to harsh Islamist laws. They are occasionally the targets of hate crimes. The word 'Copt' was often used by Europeans to refer to those of Egyptian descent whether they were Muslim or Christian.

The ankh, a familiar symbol in Egyptian mythology, represents life and is most often seen in the hands of their gods. The Copts incorporated it into their religion and it represents life after death, a common Christian belief.
9. Born with the name Florence Nightingale Graham, which Canadian studied beauty techniques in France in 1912, years before creating a cosmetic empire in the U.S.?

Answer: Elizabeth Arden

Some tender leftover morsels! Hard green beans:

The name Elizabeth Arden came from Graham's friend Elizabeth Hubbard and from the poem "Enoch Arden" by Alfred Tennyson. After studying in France, Arden came back to the United States and began to market her products, competing with several other newly developed cosmetic companies. Arden had an advantage, though, as she was able to market internationally, while most other companies were only domestic.
10. Italian Umberto Granaglia was lauded the "Best Player of the Twentieth Century" by the Confederation Mondiale des Sport de Boules for his excellence in Volo, a form of which unorthodox sport?

Answer: bocce

Some tender leftover morsels! Fishy-tasting cod:

The sport of bocce is most popular as a recreational game, however there are some leagues that play it professionally. Bocce is a precision game, in which players must roll their balls closest to the 'pallino' or 'jack', another smaller ball that is thrown by one of the players at the beginning of the game. A player receives a point(s) when their ball(s) is closest to the pallino.
