Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How long is the average life span of a red blood cell?

Answer: 120 days

In your red blood cell's 120 day life, it will make 75,000 trips to the lungs. That comes down to about 2.3 minutes per trip.

2. What percentage of dollar bills have been in a stripper's g-string?

Answer: 45%

Don't ask me how they figured that out, but someone thought up a way. 45% is 9/20.

3. How many people are injured in toilet related accidents each year?

Answer: 40,000

These would include pipes bursting while on the toilet, tripping over a toilet, and being overweight and breaking the toilet while sitting on it.

4. What was the first novel written on a typewriter?

Answer: Tom Sawyer

Tom Sawyer was written by Mark Twain, and started the typewriter craze across America. The other three books were also written by Mark Twain.

5. Which U.S. coins have ridges on the side?

Answer: dimes & quarters

Dimes have 118 ridges, quarters have 119 ridges. Pennies and nickels don't have any ridges on the side.

6. Each king in a deck of cards represents a famous king from history. Who does the king of clubs represent?

Answer: Alexander the Great

King David is spades. Julius Caesar is diamonds. Charlemagne is hearts.

7. How many US states have only one syllable in their name?

Answer: 1

Maine is the only state with one syllable.

8. Which of these does not have a blue tongue.

Answer: Blue Footed booby

The Black bear, Chow Chow dog, and Blue tongue lizard are the only animals with a blue tongue. The Blue Footed boobie is a bird with blue feet.

9. Iguanas can stay under water for how long?

Answer: 28 minutes

Before I saw this useless fact, I did not know that iguanas could swim. Harbor seals can only stay under water for 20 minutes.

10. How many cookies will the average American eat in their lifetime?

Answer: 35,000

I think that I have already passed the mark. Lets say someone lives to be 80 years old, that would be about 438 cookies per year. Thats a little bit more than 36 cookies per month. That is 1.2 cookies per day.
