Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In a classic Judy Blume novel from the early 1970s, Andrew Marcus purchases a concoction from a classmate to help him develop these.

Answer: Freckles

Judy Blume came up with the title "Freckle Juice" with a little help from her daughter, Randy. The title was inspired by a bathtime concoction of shampoo, soap, and powder - which Randy dubbed "freckle juice".

2. In addition to starring in the hit television series "Magnum, P.I.", Tom Selleck sported what type of moustache - which made many ladies swoon back in the 1980s?

Answer: Chevron

Baseball player Don Mattingly, physicist Albert Einstein, and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury were all proprietors of the chevron moustache.

Answer: A cleft chin

The cleft chin does involve a problem in bone fusion. It is also an inherited trait, however, in which the dominant gene causes the cleft.

Answer: Nose

The word "pheromone" derives its name from two Greek words meaning "to bear" and "hormones". Pheromones were first identified in the 1950s by scientists who linked these chemicals to sexual attraction and mating behaviors.

5. What "colorful" cosmetic product, which shares a name with a 1988 Hong Kong film, was used as far back as Ancient Egypt?

The Nicole Kidman/Ewan McGregor musical "Moulin Rouge!" and the French film "Trois Couleurs: Rouge" are two more films featuring the name of this ancient cosmetic. "Rouge" means "red" in French.

6. What's the name for the vertical indentation that extends from the upper lip to the nose?

Answer: Philtrum

7. Colonel Klink from "Hogan's Heroes", Mr. Peanut, and Alfred Lord Tennyson all don which unorthodox form of eyewear?

Answer: Monocle
