Answer: They all developed independently

Although similar, the four "Rex" breeds are not related. In fact, the mutations responsible are in three entirely different genes; only the Cornish and German Rex have the same affected gene. Some Cornish Rex lines have been crossbred with the German variant to reduce skin problems, but apart from this (much later) choice, all four races are independent developments.

Answer: Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not of Great Britain

Great Britain is the island consisting of England, Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom - properly named "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is the sovereign state. Finally, if you add the Republic of Ireland to the United Kingdom, you arrive at the British Isles.

Answer: Italians

The term has developed as a double insult. Originally, it negatively referred to people greasing their hair for styling purposes (and it was resurrected in this way when the movie "Grease" came out). Due to the fact, that this was perceived as a particularly common choice amongst Italians or other persons of Mediterranean descent, it later evolved into a highly derogatory ethnic slur.

Answer: Red hair

A ginger is a colloquial synonym for a redhead, because the orange-red hair color resembles that of the spice. Famous gingers include Prince Henry of Wales (better known as Prince Harry), Nicole Kidman and Rupert Grint, as Harry Potter's unforgettable Ron Weasley.

Answer: NCC-1701-D ("The Next Generation")

"Star Trek" has seen a total of nine starships named Enterprise (not counting alternate realities). The first two were experimental Earth spacecraft (XCV-330 and NX-01) while the other nine were commissioned by the United Federation of Planets. Apart from the above mentioned, there were also the NCC-1701-B and C and the once seen 26th century Enterprise, NCC-1701-J.

Answer: Uneven bars

I certainly hope the obscure name didn't make you overthink this question: the high bar exercise involves swinging from the bar and all elements in it will be started from that position. The only women's apparatus involving a bar to swing from is the uneven bars.

Answer: Emerald

Original 78 RPM phonographs with acoustic amplification used steel needles that only lasted for a few plays before they were worn - if you wanted to keep your expensive records in good condition, you changed the stylus after every disc. The electronic cartridges of 33 / 45 RPM players usually used a diamond pickup which was almost wear-free, but cheaper models replaced that with a sapphire which lasted several months to maybe a few years before it needed changing.

Answer: Trivial Pursuit

In a game all about trivia, the word "genius" would seem appropriate, but it is not the actual name of the general knowledge edition of Trivial Pursuit. The name has never officially been explained; the most widely accepted theory is that it hints at the six genera - categories - from which the questions are taken.

There have been a total of five Genus editions; the sixth was simply named "Volume 6", followed by the 25th anniversary edition and, most recently, the Master Edition.

Answer: Audi

The Audi company owes its name to a trademark dispute. Originally, August Horch had founded an automobile manufacturing company in 1899, but ten years later, he broke with his partners and founded a new company. A court ruled for the name to be property of the old company, depriving the actual Mr. Horch of its use.

While the new managers were brainstorming a name, the son of one of them was doing his Latin homework in the room and came up with "Audi" - the direct Latin equivalent of "Horch" (which means "listen" in the imperative form).
