Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Ah" Yoda said, smacking his lips after a long drink of the German lager, Bock. "Sing for you now I shall. Care you not to listen, sport it is you must watch instead". What is the disguised fractured sports word you need?

Answer: Boxing

"Bock Sing" becomes "Boxing" for your answer. Boxing is a body contact combative sport, played between two competitors. Each competitor tries to defeat his opponent with a combination of punches. The result of the match is determined either on points or by a knockout.

It is considered a brutal sport by many people. Brutal it can be, but this is also a sport that requires a high degree of skill, fitness, dexterity, and many years of training.
2. "You have a pole I see. Are you planning to go vaulting? You may need to take out insurance if so" he said. What is the fractured insurance word you seek?

Answer: Policy

"Pole I See" becomes "Policy" for your answer. A policy - insurance in this case - is a contract between two parties, the insurer and the person seeking to be protected by that insurance cover. It guarantees payment for harm or some other consequence, providing that certain restrictions have not been contravened. One needs to very carefully read everything contained within any policy, as insurance companies have been known to vigorously resist payment for the slightest of reasons.
3. "It's dangerous if you dive in the deep end. You could get hurt. Whom shall I rely upon then?" sobbed Mary. By reading the above out aloud, can you find another word for *rely*?

Answer: Depend

To depend upon someone or something is to rely upon that person or thing for different needs. In the question "Deep end" becomes "Depend" to give you your answer. One may, for example, rely upon a baby-sitter for the children to be available at a certain time, in order for the parents to be able to attend a special function. Or one may rely upon one's partner as a source of love and consolation. Or one may, and usually does, rely or depend upon a weekly wage in order to live a reasonable life and pay the bills.
4. "Jem and I are going to have our fortunes told today" remarked Sally superstitiously. Can you find the star sign in the above sentence?

Answer: Gemini

"Jem and I" becomes "Gemini" for your answer. Gemini is one of the signs in the practice of astrology. Considered to be the third of the twelve signs, a Gemini is supposed to be artistic, intelligent and artistic. They are said to be great actors should they chose to enter that career. The dual nature of the Gemini sign also indicates they can be bossy and domineering.
5. "The youth in Asia today no longer honour their parents the way they did in my time" grumbled the old Chinese gentleman. "They probably think it's time I was put out of my misery". What is the word you seek?

Answer: Euthanasia

"Youth in Asia" becomes "Euthanasia" for this answer. Euthanasia is the practice of painlessly killing a living being so that it no longers suffers.
6. "Neil, you asked me to tell you who to speak to, and I told you to go and see the sky! What do you mean you don't understand?!" shouted Mervyn. The sky? Who is Neil really supposed to see?

Answer: This guy

"This guy" in this case, because of Mervyn's poor enunciation, has turned into "The sky". It's an example of fractured words - or poor diction.
7. "A dressed male often ends up in the wrong letter box" she mused. "I'm forever returning it to its owner". What are the correct postage words you're after?

Answer: Addressed mail

For this answer "A dressed male" becomes "Addressed mail". With incorrectly addressed mail in Australia, it is customary to write the initials RTS (Return to Sender) on the front of the envelope, and drop it back into the post office. Occasionally, letters such as this are so badly addressed that they never find their true destination.
8. Just go and eat the sun which is there!" ordered the mother crossly. "And stop telling the neighbours I'm gone insane!" What plural word did the mother want her children to eat?

Answer: Sandwiches

"Sun which is" becomes "Sandwiches" for your answer. A sandwich is two or more slices of bread, into which various fillings have been inserted. Various cultures have claimed the credit for its invention. The written use of the *word* sandwich first appears in the 18th century when an English writer was visiting the Earl of Sandwich.

The hungry earl ordered his valet to bring him two slices of bread with meat in between them. The writer took this fashion back to his own abode and it spread from there.

Other people, in their own establishments, began to order snacks "The same as Sandwich".
9. "Here is an egg simple of how to do your maths homework" said the teacher crisply, as she wrote a similar sum on the blackboard. "Stop clucking, Tommy, it's most annoying!" What was the teacher writing on the blackboard?

Answer: Example

"Egg simple" turns into "Example" for your answer. An example is a model, or a pattern, of something that is to be imitated. An example of this is shown in the egg sample above. The teacher is copying out a sum on the blackboard in the style of how she wishes her students to do their homework.

Another example of an example could be showing someone how to do a dance step correctly, by first performing that routine for the learner to copy.
10. "Children, please hold your four candles in your left hand when you're using a knife in your right" Mrs Brown said to her perplexed children during dinner. What was it that Mrs Brown wanted the children to hold correctly?

Answer: Fork handles

"Four candles" turns into "Fork handles" for this answer. As far as eating is concerned, a fork is a pronged eating tool. It is commonly held in the left hand, while the knife is held in the right hand. This mode of correct eating etiquette disadvantages left-handed people somewhat. Nobody knows who invented the fork, but its use has been dated as far back as ancient Egypt.
