Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Start with a word that is an animal known for its large multi-colored beak.

Answer: toucan

A toucan is a bird that originated from the Americas, although in North America, it is more common to find them in the southern part of the continent. Within the Americas, they are often found in the rainforest in the canopy section. The beak of a toucan is the longest of any bird and is useful for when a toucan wishes to camouflage itself.
2. Drop a letter to get a word that is a division within medieval literature.

Answer: canto

The dropped letter is U.

Cantos are used in medieval poetry, usually poems that are lengthy, such as Dante's "Inferno". Cantos is just one type of division in poems; they can also be further divided into sections, such as chapters. Although cantos are at least five lines, there is no typical length of a canto.
3. Drop a letter to get a type of food.

Answer: taco

The dropped letter is N.

The taco is believed to have originated in Mexico, although it was different than what most people now think of when they think of tacos. It is a popular food even outside of Mexico. Tacos consist of a hard edible shell and meat and can also include toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, and much more.
4. Drop a letter to get a law that has been passed by a legislative body.

Answer: act

The dropped letter is O.

When legislation is proposed, it is called a bill. If it fails to get passed, it is still called a bill. However, if it passes, then it is called an act. If a bill needs to be signed into law, then the signature is what causes a bill to become an act.
5. Drop a letter to get the chemical symbol for technetium.

Answer: Tc

The dropped letter is A.

Technetium is the 43rd element on the periodic table and its symbol is Tc. It is part of Group 7, meaning technetium is a halogen, meaning it forms salt when it reacts with metal. It is very rare but also radioactive. Technetium is used in the medical field for diagnostic imaging scans.
6. Drop a letter to get the letter that appears more often in this sentence.

Answer: T

The dropped letter is C.

The letter c only appears once, in the word "sentence". The letter t, on the other hand, appears 12 times, in eight words: letter, to, get, the, that, often, this, and sentence.
7. Add a letter to get a homophone for a single-digit number.

Answer: to

The added letter is O.

To is a homophone for the number two. The word "to" is a preposition and has multiple meanings. It can mean direction ("I walked to the store") or identifying someone ("He was nice to her") or other meanings.

There are other homophones for single-digit numbers, such as won/one, too/two, fore/for/four, six/sics, ate/eight, but "to" is the only word that has the appropriate number of letters (funny enough, two letters).
8. Add a letter to get one way to describe the temperature.

Answer: hot

The added letter is H.

The temperature of any object can be described as various ways. Some people would say hot or cold; others may include warm or mild. If an object is hot, then the temperature is high. An object that is too hot can burn a person and possibly harm them.
9. Add a letter to get an Australian politician known for his disappearance.

Answer: Holt

The added letter is L.

Harold Holt was Prime Minister of Australia from 1966 to 1967. His tenure as prime minister ended when he disappeared and was assumed dead. Years later, Holt's cause of death was stated as accidental drowning. Holt had gone swimming at Cheviot Beach and had got caught up in a rip current.
10. Add a letter to get a word for an animal known for its slowness.

Answer: sloth

The added letter is S.

Sloths are mammals, living mainly in South America. Most of the time is spent living in the canopy of the rainforest, hanging upside down. Since they don't do much else, they are viewed as lazy. In fact, the word sloth means laziness.
