Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The name of which Asian country's capital city translates into English as "Red Hero?"

Answer: Mongolia

Ulan Bator (often also spelt Ulaanbaatar) is Mongolian for Red Hero. The city has been previously called Kuren and Urga, but was renamed Ulan Bator in 1924 following the creation of the Mongolian People's Republic. Ulan Bator is one of the coldest capital cities in the world with an average temperature of about 29.7 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.3 degrees Celsius).
2. The middle of Australia is sparsely populated and arid. This part of Australia goes by a very colourful name. What is it known as?

Answer: The Red Centre

The interior of Australia is known as the Red Centre as the landscape contains very little greenery and lots of red soil. One example of a city in this area is Alice Springs.
3. What name is shared by a national monument in New Mexico and a missile testing site in New Mexico?

Answer: White Sands

White Sands National Monument has the world's largest gypsum dunefield at 275 square miles. Also, the White Sands Missile Range is the largest U.S. military installation at nearly 3200 square miles.
4. Which colourful-sounding Iranian village of Delfan County has a name which would be well-suited to clothing army recruits?

Answer: Khaki

The Iranian village of Khaki is somewhat on the small side with a population of less than 50. Britain first started using khaki coloured uniforms in the late 19th century when they realised that bright red tunics was not the best choice when it came to hiding from a potential enemy. Subsequently khaki went on to become a popular choice as the colour of many nations' military uniforms.
5. Who named Greenland Greenland?

Answer: Eric the Red

Eric the Red was exiled from Iceland after committing murder. During his banishment, he found the area that is now Greenland. He named it Greenland because he hoped the name would attract settlers.
6. What is the longest river in South Africa?

Answer: Orange River

The Orange River has its beginning in the Drakensberg Mountains and ends 2,200 km (1,367 mi) later where it flows into the Atlantic Ocean at Alexander Bay. Dutch explorer Robert Jacob Gordon (1743-1795) named it after the Dutch House of Orange.
