Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Macédoine de légumes' is the preparation of vegetables by cutting them into what shape, another word for cube?

Answer: Dice

Both fruit and vegetables may be cut into a dice. To 'julienne' vegetables is to cut them into strips.
2. In 1991, U.S. President Bill Clinton's family adopted a stray cat, which was given what name?

Answer: Socks

Apparently, Socks and the Clintons' dog Buddy didn't get along, so after the Clintons left the White House, Socks was housed with another family. No report on whether he actually wore socks!
3. What 2004 movie, nominated for several Oscars, starred Colin Firth and Scarlett Johansson (for which she won a Rising Star Award)?

Answer: Girl with a Pearl Earring

'The Notebook' starred Gena Rowlands, James Garner and Rachel McAdams. 'The Incredibles' featured Samuel L. Jackson and Holly Hunter. 'Shaun of the Dead' starred Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, and Kate Ashfield.
4. Written in 1877 by British composer Euphemia Allen, what piece of music shares its name with eating implements?

Answer: Chopsticks

There are many versions of this fun piece of music. I remember spending hours as a child perfecting my own variation. Sorry, Mum and Dad!
5. Nephropathy is the disease or damage of the ___.

Answer: kidneys

There are a number of causes of nephropathy. These include diabetes, over-use of analgesics (like aspirin and some anti-inflammatory drugs) and high blood pressure.
6. What anagram of 'chest cur' is an aid to walking?

Answer: crutches

Depending on the reason for having to use them, people may need one or two crutches to assist their recovery, but crutches often are sold in twos. I love the intriguing way crutches are used in Frederick Forsyth's 'The Day of the Jackal' - no spoilers! If you haven't read it, or seen the movie, you're missing out!
7. Both Lord Petersham and Beau Brummell were noted for the introduction of stylish clothing, including what item that replaced pantaloons?

Answer: Trousers

George Bryan 'Beau' Brummell (d. 1840) was, from all accounts, both witty and somewhat arrogant, pretending on one occasion to not recognise George, Prince of Wales. His style and fashion was closely watched and copied by his peers. However, after his falling out with Prince George, he had to seek refuge on the continent, where he eventually died, penniless.
8. Fill in the blanks to find the items used to produce a scarf or beanie: _________ Nancy and Cleopatra's __________.

Answer: Knitting, needles

A 'Knitting Nancy' was a small hollow wooden female figure, with four nails in the crown on which the wool was wound, to make a sausage-like thread that came out at the feet. There have been many variations of her over the years, and it was a nice simple way of learning the concept of knitting.
9. Because of their role in absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen, rainforests are often called the 'what' of the planet?

Answer: Lungs

Forests across the world are under pressure because of urban sprawl, among other things. For example, in the 1960s, 82% of Indonesia was covered with forests, and in the 2010s, it was reduced to 49%. The removal of trees not only increases the likelihood of flooding in the region, but plantation owners burning off the 'stubble' cause annual smoke haze across the region.

This sad case is repeated in several places.
10. I hope you enjoyed learning about things that have the common bond the same as human chromosomes! You have guessed, of course, that the common bond in this quiz is a homophone of the fruit whose varieties include Bosc, Anjou and William. The common bond is:

Answer: Pairs

The common bond, of course, is things that come in pairs:

1) dice
2) socks
3) earrings
4) chopsticks
5) kidneys
6) crutches
7) trousers
8) knitting needles
9) lungs

Just to clarify a common misconception: according to the Bible, God told Noah to 'Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate' (Genesis 7:2). So, in most cases, there were seven of each animal, not just two!
