Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. If you went to a "black tie affair", what type of event have you just attended?

Answer: A very formal one

Although some men see the invitation as simply to dress one's best, in actuality as requested by the host or hostess, the proper way to arrive at one of these functions is to be dressed in the form of a tuxedo. I guess, the way things are today, women can show up in a tux as well!
2. The popular rock song "Back in Black" is by the Australian band AC/DC. On what album does this song appear?

Answer: Back in Black

This song, released by AC/DC in 1981, was on the album "Back in Black". Worldwide, this album has sold over fifty million copies, and has been listed by "Rolling Stone" magazine as one of the "100 Best Albums of the Eighties".
3. Originating in Germany, this chocolate-based cake is layered, covered with a white sugary frosting, and topped with black cherries as a finishing touch. What is the name of this cake?

Answer: Black Forest

This cake was originally known as Black Forest Cherry Torte. Rum or the cherry liquor Kirschwasser (Kirsch) can be added to the recipe for extra taste.
4. On June 28th, 1914, a member of this anarchy group killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie while they were in Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital city, which eventually led to World War I.

Answer: The Black Hand

Franz Ferdinand was heir to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the Black Hand Movement wanted Serbia to be free from that ruling power. Black Hand member Gavrilo Princip carried out the assassination order. The color black has been linked with anarchism since the late 1800s. World War I was fought in Europe from 1914 to 1918, with an estimated thirty million deaths and casualties.
5. If you are traveling through Nevada, USA, and decide to do a little gambling, the best place to go would be a casino. A popular card game there is called Black Jack, but it is also known by what other name?

Answer: Twenty One

Black Jack is a game where the players compete with the dealer--not each other. Players draw cards and try to get the closest to a count of 21 without going over. All ties at 21 go to the dealer. If the first two cards dealt to you add up to 21... that is called a "Black Jack".
6. Many clubs, organizations and groups secretly vote in new members by each person using either a black ball or white ball to cast his or her vote. How many black balls would a person have to get to become a member?

Answer: None

A white ball means a "yes" vote and a black ball means a "no" vote. When a black ball is found during the vote, the voting normally stops and the person up for vote does not win or gain entrance into that organization. Hence the phrase "he/she has been blackballed".
7. Worldwide, black cats have always been considered bad luck.

Answer: False

Many societies in the United Kingdom consider black cats to be lucky, while many in the United States consider them to be mostly unlucky. The unlucky reputation is probably due to the connection of black cats with witches in the 1600s. In the 1700s and 1800s, Western pirates and sailors considered black cats to be either good luck or bad luck depending how these cats reacted to certain people or specific situations.
8. What rock group was formed by Tony, Geezer, Bill and Ozzy in Birmingham, England in 1968?

Answer: Black Sabbath

In this well-known band, Ozzy Osbourne was the original lead singer with Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler as the backup musicians. Ronnie James Dio, and several others, took over the singing position after Osbourne was dismissed from the band in 1979 due to drug dependency. Ozzy, however, rejoined the band in 1997. He also maintained a successful solo career.
9. The 168,500 square mile Black Sea is surrounded by six countries and has become a very popular tourist destination. Where would you find this body of water?

Answer: Between Asia and Europe

Located between southeastern Europe and Asia, the Black Sea connects to the Mediterranean Sea via the Aegean Sea. It is a year-round tourist destination. With no high or low tides, there is no fluctuation in the water level, making for a calm, quiet surface.
10. In the 1919 Baseball World Series there was a scandal in which a team threw the series allowing the Cincinnati Reds to win. What team became known as "The Black Sox" after this scandal?

Answer: White Sox

Eight Chicago White Sox players were acquitted in court after being accused of taking bribes, but were still given a lifetime ban from professional baseball. This scandal was later the subject of the movie "Eight Men Out", released in 1988.
