Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You begin by listening for the patter of tiny feet upstairs. Are your young ones safely asleep? There are plenty of affectionate terms that you might use for the kids but which of these is not likely to be one of them?

Answer: Drongos

Drongo is Australian slang for a fool or idiot and derives from the name of a poorly performing racehorse of the 1920s. Sprog and nippers are both terms that derive from the UK whilst rugrats come from America.
2. With the kids asleep, you can relax by fixing a refreshing cocktail for you and your partner. Which of these would be ruled out for kids because of its alcoholic content?

Answer: Tom Collins

The Tom Collins is a gin-based cocktail whose name derives not from a real person but from the subject of a 1870s New York hoax. The Shirley Temple and Brooke Shields cocktails are variations on a grenadine theme with nothing stronger than ginger ale. The Arnold Palmer is 50% iced tea and 50% lemonade.
3. You turn on the TV to watch some sport. Which of these events is least likely to have kids competing because you have to be at least 15 to even begin training?

Answer: Professional Sumo wrestling

Not only must you be aged 15 or over but at least 173cm in height and 75 kgs in weight.

The FIFA World Cup has no centrally enforced age restrictions and it is down to each national federation to set its own limits. Souleymane Mamam competed for Togo against Zambia, in a 2001 World Cup qualifying game, at the age of 13 years and 310 days. In recent years, Martina Hingis, Jennifer Capriati and Tracey Austin have all entered the senior tournament at Wimbledon as 14 year-olds, but they are outdone by Austrian Mita Klima who was 13 when she took part in 1907. And the world of international gymnastics is such that one almost takes it for granted that many of the competitors will be kids.
4. You switch over for some light entertainment. In which of these shows are you least likely to encounter kids?

Answer: Cheers

"Everybody Loves Raymond", "Home Improvement" and "Roseanne" are all family-based sitcoms with children that make regular appearances. "Cheers" is the exception and, being centred on a bar, it would be difficult to have more than the occasional reference to children without the risk of losing focus.

The list of children includes Frasier and Lilith Crane's Frederick and waitress Carla Tortelli's eight children (Anthony, Serafina, Gino, Anne Marie, Lucinda, Ludlow, Elvis and Jesse), but these were usually referred to rather than seen.
5. Perhaps some background music would be helpful. Which of these songs was not recorded by an artist under the age of 14?

Answer: "Your Song" by Elton John

Tanya Tucker was 13 when she recorded "Delta Dawn" in 1972. It reached number six in the US Country chart and number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. Stevie Wonder (aka Little Stevie Wonder and with a birth name of Stevland Hardaway Judkins) was 12 when he recorded "Fingertips Pt. 2" live in concert.

It topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1963. "MMMBop" was a massive worldwide hit for Hanson in 1997 but the song first appeared on their independently produced second album of the same name. This was recorded in 1995 when drummer Zac Hanson was just ten years old.
6. It's time to eat - kid free, of course. Which of these should you have chosen if you don't want to eat the young of another species?

Answer: Panzanella

Whitebait are young fish; Wiener Schnitzel has, traditionally, consisted of a veal escalope in breadcrumbs; whilst shepherd's pie contains lamb or ground beef. Panzanella, by contrast, is an Italian salad built around bread and tomatoes.
7. Uh-oh. You've been so starved of adult conversation that you're breaking the golden rule about never discussing politics or religion at the dinner table. Which of these political acts is a kid of 16 not legally able to do?

Answer: Run for president of the USA

The minimum age for a president or vice-president of the USA is 35. Brazil is one of a small number of countries that allow sixteen year-olds to vote. Others include Austria, Cuba and Nicaragua. Slovenia adds an employment condition meaning that 16 year-olds can vote providing they are in work.
8. And you've strayed into religion too. Which of these biblical characters is not introduced as a kid?

Answer: Elijah

Jesus and Moses are both first encountered as babies and are laid, respectively, in a manger and a floating basket. David's first appearance is as a young shepherd boy to whom the judge Samuel is sent. Elijah, by contrast, has no back story and simply arrives as a fully-grown prophet.
9. After dinner you cuddle up on the couch to watch a movie. Which of these would definitely not be a good choice for the kids?

Answer: Fritz the Cat

"Fritz the Cat" (1972) was the first cartoon to receive an X (18) certificate in the USA. The movie's makers were not seemingly disappointed as the tagline was "He's X-Rated and Animated!".

"Big" (1988 - rated 12), "Home Alone" (1990 - PG), and "The Black Stallion" (1979 - U) are clearly more suitable for younger viewers.
10. It's time to climb the stairs to bed. You don't want any more kids? Then you'll need to know which of these is not a means of birth control. Can you identify the imposter?

Answer: UDI

POP (progestogen-only pills), CIC (combined injectable contraceptives) and IUD (intrauterine devices) are all reasonably reliable forms of contraception. UDI usually stands for "unilateral declaration of independence" which would be nowhere near as effective - unless it was a euphemism for celibacy.
