Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Of the four options presented in the picture, which one is NOT equal to one quarter?

Answer: #1

All of these mathematical representations of one quarter are commonly used, depending on the situation.

0.25 is the decimal system, where 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 1.00
This is also the system used when accounting for money amounts (two decimal places)

1/4 also means one quarter, or one fourth. When adding fractions together, the numerators are added, while the denominators (being equal) remain the same: 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 4/4 = 1

Percentages refer to how many out of 100 (per 'cent', French for 100). Thus 25% is 25/100, which is one quarter of 100.

The option that does not fit is the square root of 4, which is the number, that when multiplied by itself (squared), equals 4. So the answer here is 2.
2. This is a (poor attempt at drawing a) Canadian quarter. Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse (heads) side; what animal is on the reverse (tails) side, seen here?

Answer: Caribou

The caribou design was created by Canadian artist Emanuel Hahn and was first used in 1937. The official name of the coin, according to the Royal Canadian Mint, is '25-cent piece', but as it is worth one quarter of a dollar, they are known as quarters (as in the U.S.).

Interestingly, in the years 1997 and 1998, quarters minted those years were not released into circulation, but rather only in collectible and proof sets.
3. Companies with public stock release quarterly earnings (or losses). How often is that?

Answer: Every three months

Of course, 'quarterly' means that you must break the year down into four equal parts. Twelve divided by four equals three, thus a 'quarterly' report would come out every three months.

An organization's fiscal year does not necessarily line up with the calendar year. In the Canadian Armed Forces, of which I am a member, operates its budget from April1st to March 31st, for example.
4. This city was divided into four administrative regions at the end of World War II: the British, French, Soviet, and American Quarters. Which city?

Answer: Berlin

Following Victory in Europe (VE) Day, the Allied forces hammered out an agreement regarding the fate of Germany and its division between the victorious member nations. This was the Potsdam Agreement, finalized on August 2nd, 1945. Unfortunately, tensions between the Soviets' (Communist) ideology and their democratic allies soon led to what became the Cold War. Berlin was the focal point of that tension, culminating in the building of the Berlin Wall, which completely encircled the British/French/American sectors.

The Berlin Wall came down on November 9th, 1989, and less than a year later, on October 3rd, 1990, East and West Germany (and East and West Berlin) were reunified.
5. If you can accept this drawing as an American Quarter Horse, then you may also know how the breed got its name. It was named in reference to how they would often outdistance other breeds in quarter-mile races.

Answer: True

Some individual Quarter Horses were measured at speeds of up to 55 mph (88.5 Km/h).

The breed was developed during the colonial era as English thoroughbreds were matched with horses in the Americas (whose origins traced back to the Spanish conquistadors). Today, it is the most popular breed, with more than 5 million registered in the American Quarter Horse Association.
6. Do you know your music notation? Of the four options presented, which is a 'quarter rest'?

Answer: #2

Again, we're dealing with simple fractions here. A quarter rest is called such due to the fact that four of them make up a whole rest (option #4 in the picture). The other options presented were a half rest (option #1, worth two quarter rests) and an eighth rest (option #3, two of which equal one quarter rest).
7. Where might one hear an alarm and an order to 'General Quarters'?

Answer: In the U.S. Navy

'General Quarters', sometimes also referred to as 'Battle Stations', is an order given on a warship to prepare for battle. This means that all personnel would report to their stations, that bulkhead doors would be secured, and that security around sensitive areas (the bridge, and engineering, for example) is increased.
8. In which country of the British Isles would you find the settlement of Quarter, South Lanarkshire?

Answer: Scotland

South Lanarkshire is adjacent to the south-east corner of the city of Glasgow, comprising an area of 684 sq mi (1,772 sq km). The small settlement of Quarter sits on a hill above the Clyde River Valley.

When the rail line was established between Strathaven and Hamilton in 1860, one of the stops was Quarter Road. In 1909, the station name was shortened from Quarter Road to simply Quarter.
9. Is this an accurate example of 'quartering' as pertains to heraldry?

Answer: No

'Quartering' in heraldry is the combination of four (or more) different heraldic coats of arms onto one shield, dividing the shield crosswise vertically and horizontally to make four quarters. Even when a shield takes more than four coats of arms, it is still referred to as quartering.

My example is not a correct example of quartering because when only two different coats of arms are shown, each one is repeated twice in order to fill up the minimum four quarterings of the shield.
10. Telling time the analog way is fast becoming obsolete. To make things more interesting for this question, can you choose the correct time... in French?

Answer: Douze heures moins le quart

'Douze heures moins le quart' is the equivalent of saying 'quarter to twelve' in English. A literal translation would make it 'twelve hours minus a quarter'.

The incorrect alternatives are 11:15 (onze heures et quart), 11:30 (onze heures et demi), and 12:45 (douze heures quarante-cinq).
