Answer: Success

The full quote of course is: "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm".

4. Plant leaves containing nicotine that are often smoked or chewed.

Answer: Tobacco

Tobacco leaves have been smoked for over 2000 years. The risks to one's health from smoking were not well known back then, however, the knowledge we have now about the dangers of smoking have not stopped it being the number one preventable cause of death in many countries.

5. Mammal native to North America, also known as the "masked bandit".

Answer: Raccoon

Raccoons are we well known for eating just about anything they can find. Their front paws are dexterous enough to open a bin, or even a door in their search for food. In the wild raccoons dine on, amongst other things; aquatic animals, insects, bird eggs, nuts, fruit and plants.

6. Increase speed.

Answer: Accelerate

The most common method of measuring the acceleration of cars, is the time it takes for the car to go from 0 to 60 mph (or from 0 to 100 km/h in countries that use the metric system). The average car on today's roads will take between seven and nine seconds to reach this speed, though some performance cars can manage it in less than four seconds.

7. Member of the cabbage family, resembling cauliflower though green. President George H.W. Bush had this vegetable banned from Air Force One in 1990.

Answer: Broccoli

The average person in the US eats around four and a half pounds of broccoli a year. This pales in comparison with the average 142 pounds of sugar consumed per capita.

8. What country in northwestern Africa has its largest city at Casablanca?

Answer: Morocco

The local name for Morocco is al-Mamlaka al-Maġribiyya which can be translated as meaning "The Western Kingdom".

9. Word now synonymous for "pirate".

Answer: Buccaneer

The original buccaneers were pirates who attacked French and Spanish ships in the Caribbean sea during the 17th century.

10. Medicine that improves immunity to disease.

Answer: Vaccine

The earliest documented use of vaccine is in China and India in the 17th century, where the powdered scabs of people infected with smallpox were used to prevent the disease in others. There is evidence that China was using vaccines as far back as 200 B.C.
