Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What term, descriptive of someone who is good with items such as the one on the left, is brought to mind by this rebus?

Answer: green thumb

On the left is a green plant, representing the colour element of the rebus. On the right is my left thumb.

While Canadian and American gardeners are happy to be told they have a "green thumb", their fellows in the United Kingdom are said to have "green fingers". Both terms convey the idea that the person thus described is good at making things grow.
2. Put these images together to find something you might see at the seaside.

Answer: Whitecaps

The top image is of snow on my deck, representing the colour element, in this case "white". Beneath are three baseball caps from my collection, indicating that the answer is plural. So, white+caps = whitecaps.

Whitecaps are those white foamy bits at the top of waves, that can be seen not only at the seaside, but from the shores of the Great Lakes on a blustery day. Once again the terminology differs in the UK, where the term "white horses" is used for these wind-blown wave tops.
3. What heroine of a children's story is suggested by this rebus?

Answer: Little Red Riding Hood

"Little" is written in red on a red field, so "Little Red". The man is "riding" a horse and the last panel shows the "hood" of a raincoat. Put them together to get "Little Red Riding Hood".

The fairy tale featuring Little Red Riding Hood originated in Europe and is about a little girl who meets a Big Bad Wolf on her way to visit her sick grandmother. Depending on the version you prefer, she either defeats the wolf or he tricks her into becoming his dinner. Your choice.
4. Something to eat can be found in this rebus. What is it?

Answer: Collard greens

(Shirt) collar + D plus (two different) greens (or shades of green) = collard greens

Collard greens are popular in the cuisine of the southern states of the USA, and are in the same family as cabbage and broccoli. They can be served cooked, possibly with bacon and garlic, or raw as part of a salad.
5. Solve the rebus to find something that children and skiers (and Bing Crosby) wish for.

Answer: White Christmas

White (the top image) + Christmas tree (lower left) - tree (lower right) = White Christmas

As one gets older, the wish for a "white Christmas" with snow on the ground becomes "Well, it's nice on Christmas morning, but I hope it all melts by dinnertime and we have an early Spring!" Skiers, snowboarders and snowmobilers have a greater tolerance for the white stuff. Bing Crosby sang the song "White Christmas" in both the 1954 movie of that title, and the earlier "Holiday Inn" (1942).
6. Put the elements of this rebus together to find something that some people feared during the Cold War.

Answer: Red menace

The men are red, so "red men". Add "ace", thus: Red men + ace = Red menace

Red menace was the term applied to the spread of communism to parts of the world beyond the USSR and China, and the fear generated by the threat of this happening. A 1949 film-noir thriller used "The Red Menace" as its title, and the plot involved the Communist party in the USA and attempts to fight it.
7. Follow the arrows and solve the rebus to find the title of a movie starring Bette Davis as a teacher.

Answer: The Corn Is Green

"The +" photo of "corn" on the cob, follow the arrow to "is" and the next arrow to the green panel. Put together we get "The Corn Is Green".

"The Corn Is Green" (1945) was about a schoolteacher (Davis) in a Welsh mining village, who set up a school in her own home to try to give a basic education to adult members of the population. John Dall, who played one of her students, was Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
8. Move clockwise from the upper left to solve the rebus and find something a child might like to own.

Answer: Red wagon

Move from "red" to the dog's tail which is "wagging" (shown by the quotation marks) and add "on". This leads us to: Red "wag"+on = Red wagon

Red wagons are useful items that can be used by a child to transport his or her toys, or by a parent to transport the child as well. In actual fact, even if it isn't red, a wagon can be very useful.
9. Solve the rebus to arrive at the name of a veteran celebrity.

Answer: Betty White

Upper left panel represents a "bet" plus a "teabag" - "bag". This gives us "bet + tea", or Betty. Add the white panel at the bottom for her surname, and we have Betty White!

Actress Betty White began her career in the late 1940s and was still going strong in the second decade of the 21st century, when she was over 90. Her television characters included Sue Ann Nivens in "Mary Tyler Moore" (1973-77), Rose Nylund in "The Golden Girls" (1985-92) and Elka Ostrovsky in "Hot in Cleveland" (2010-15).
10. Solve this rebus imaginatively and name a superhero.

Answer: Green Lantern

Add the green panel to the porch light posing as a lantern to find Green Lantern. For those who only looked at the image, green light is also acceptable.

Green Lantern, whose power comes from a magic ring, has appeared in many guises since his 1940 introduction in DC Comics "All-American Comics #16). During the so-called Golden Age, he was railroad engineer Alan Scott, who had made the ring from a magic lantern he found after a train wreck. Hal Jordan followed in the Silver Age, which began in 1959, and the Bronze Age and Modern Age brought forth still more incarnations.
