Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the capital of Australia?

Answer: Canberra

Although Sydney may be the one that everyone knows, the smaller Canberra is the capital.

2. Who won the 2001 French Grand Prix?

Answer: Michael Schumacher

Michael was first, his brother Ralf was second, Rubens was third and David Coulthard was fourth.

3. What was the name of the character played by Jeff Goldblum in 'Jurassic Park' and 'The Lost World'?

Answer: Iain Malcolm

A good movie. The dinos look almost real, but I wasn't that scared. Honest!

4. Which one of these is the number 15 in binary?

Answer: 1111

1010 is 10, 1100 is 12 and 1001 is 9. Just in case you wanted to know.

5. Who does the voice of the donkey in the animated movie, 'Shrek'?

Answer: Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy was a fast-talking, foul-mouthed, stand-up comedian and his early movie output reflected this with the likes of 'Beverly Hills Cop' and '48 hrs'. However, his most recent films have mostly been aimed at kids thereby reinventing his career and giving him a new audience. I myself miss the old Eddie.

Interesting fact: did you know that 'Beverly Hills Cop' was initially a vehicle for Sylvester Stallone!

6. Complete the first line of Daphne du Maurier's novel 'Rebecca'-- 'Last night I dreamt I went to...'

Answer: manderley again

This first sentence is said to be one of the most chilling openings in literaturel.

7. Which Cadbury's chocolate bar asked you to 'take it easy'?

Answer: Caramel

Those animated adverts were some of my favourite growing up. Sadly the Cadbury's Caramel has gone downhill.

8. What is the birthstone for October?

Answer: opal

Amethyst is February, sapphire is September and pearl is June. Opal is my birthstone but I'd prefer diamonds - they're a girl's best friend. Men get dogs; women have diamonds.

9. Who won the 2000 Men's Singles at Wimbledon?

Answer: Pete Sampras

Pete Sampras - the man with the eyebrows. I'm sure he played some tennis as well.

10. How many wives did Henry VIII have?

Answer: 6

His wives were Catherine Parr, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard and Anne of Cleves. I'm sure those of you who got it wrong adhered to the popular misconception that he had 8 wives, but no there was only 6.
