Question 1 of 10
1. Poor Linanne. She really did understand the social limitations of being a MEMBER OF THE MEPHITIDAE FAMILY, but she felt the housing allocations for the weekend had been a tad unfair. All the ungracious administrator had available was a LARGE STURDY CHEST. In essence Linanne was reduced to living in a what?

Answer: (Two Words - 5 letters each)
Question 2 of 10
2. Georgie was at a complete loss. He had thought that he had booked far enough ahead to secure one of the tiny rooms in the abbey. Instead he and another BIVALVE MOLLUSC had been assigned sleeping quarters in the COVERED WALK. Apparently this particular corner of the building surrounds was known as the what?

Answer: (Two words - 6 and 8 letters)
Question 3 of 10
3. Young Gregory, the SMALL CARNIVORE OF THE GENUS MUSTELA, was waiting to see where he would sleep. He was attending the World Wide Scrabble Championships in the city's old art gallery, and wanted to have a nap before registration. The young receptionist looked embarrassed. The entire system was over-booked and the only thing she had on offer was a FRAME FOR SUPPORTING ARTWORK. Poor Gregory, he was going to be forced to sleep where?

Answer: (Two words - 6 and 5 letters)
Question 4 of 10
4. Oh dear. Ronald the ARBOREAL ANTHROPOID APE was heading to the Oshkosh air show. The promise was that he would be able to bunk down in one of the big Hercules aircraft right on the field itself, but he was to be disappointed. When he finally arrived, all that was left was a DIRIGIBLE. So there he spent his nights - in what?

Answer: (Two words - 5 and 5 letters)
Question 5 of 10
5. Miss Chris was the overseer of Fotheringay Farm. She was responsible for all the housing of the animals, but there was just one problem. The farm was incredibly overcrowded and she was expecting a bus load of RUMINANT MAMMALS. The only conceivable place was a SMALL MILITARY VEHICLE. Where did she organise for them to live?

Answer: (Two words - 5 and 4 letters)
Question 6 of 10
6. Heath the LARGE BOVINE ANIMAL was stumped. There was simply nowhere to spend the night and it was getting late. As he rounded the bend at the end of the village, he came upon a modest WOODEN CONTAINER. It was a bit small, but there was nothing for it. After half an hour of puffing and squeezing, he was in. Where did he spend the night?


Answer: (Two words 2 and 3 letters)
Question 7 of 10
7. Carol was a LARGE CARTILAGINOUS FISH with a problem. The ocean was full and she badly needed a quiet place to sleep. She had heard of an agency on the beach front that dealt with displaced marine life, and so she gave them a call. She was in luck. Right opposite the beach was a TRACT OF RECREATIONAL PUBLIC LAND. She spent a very comfortable night where?

Answer: (Two words - 5 and 4 letters)
Question 8 of 10
8. Jon the TIBETAN WILD OX had popped down to Oxford for the weekend. He had a dissertation to referee and wanted to catch up with his old professor for a spot of dinner. He had imagined his secretary had taken care of his lodgings for the night, but alas, Balliol College was full and the Master, although most helpful, had only one option. A LARGE WOVEN BAG. Oh My. Where did Jon have to sleep?

Answer: (Two words - 3 and 4 letters)
Question 9 of 10
9. Miss Liz, a SEMI-AQUATIC WEASEL-LIKE ANIMAL was in a quandary. In Paris for the annual fashion spectacular, she had nowhere to stay. Her presence at the shows was mandatory as she was such a style setter, so the staff at Yves St Laurent arranged for her to sleep in a KITCHEN BASIN. Where was she?

Answer: (Two words - 4 and 4 letters)
Question 10 of 10
10. Sir Terence, a LARGE DOMESTICATED SWINE, was visiting the Netherlands for his company's electronics firm. Accommodation was to be a problem this time, as he hadn't decided to attend the conference until the last minute. His aide did find one possibility - a LARGE WOODEN SHOE was available at a very reasonable rate. Where did the very elegant Sir Terence end up sleeping?

Answer: (Two words - 3 and 4 letters)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Poor Linanne. She really did understand the social limitations of being a MEMBER OF THE MEPHITIDAE FAMILY, but she felt the housing allocations for the weekend had been a tad unfair. All the ungracious administrator had available was a LARGE STURDY CHEST. In essence Linanne was reduced to living in a what?

Answer: skunk trunk

A member of the Mephitidae family is a skunk. A large sturdy chest is a trunk.

Linanne's behaviour was impeccable the entire weekend. In fact she was quite a hit when the group played movie charades, and she won the competition paws down. Reports that the trunk had to be completely disinfected were, apparently, highly exaggerated.
2. Georgie was at a complete loss. He had thought that he had booked far enough ahead to secure one of the tiny rooms in the abbey. Instead he and another BIVALVE MOLLUSC had been assigned sleeping quarters in the COVERED WALK. Apparently this particular corner of the building surrounds was known as the what?

Answer: oyster cloister

An oyster is a bivalve mollusc. A covered walk as part of an abbey is a cloister.

Georgie tried his hardest to make the best of this rather uncomfortable sleeping arrangement. He had shelled out quite an amount of money for not very much. He would have felt a lot better about the entire episode if there had been somewhere secure to park his precious Ford car.
3. Young Gregory, the SMALL CARNIVORE OF THE GENUS MUSTELA, was waiting to see where he would sleep. He was attending the World Wide Scrabble Championships in the city's old art gallery, and wanted to have a nap before registration. The young receptionist looked embarrassed. The entire system was over-booked and the only thing she had on offer was a FRAME FOR SUPPORTING ARTWORK. Poor Gregory, he was going to be forced to sleep where?

Answer: weasel easel

A small carnivore of the genus Mustela is a weasel. A frame for supporting artwork is an easel.

Gregory was indeed a good sport. Despite turning up for his first game with paint spots on his coat, he made a very good showing. He managed a triple word score and completely forgot how uncomfortable his lodgings had been the night before.
4. Oh dear. Ronald the ARBOREAL ANTHROPOID APE was heading to the Oshkosh air show. The promise was that he would be able to bunk down in one of the big Hercules aircraft right on the field itself, but he was to be disappointed. When he finally arrived, all that was left was a DIRIGIBLE. So there he spent his nights - in what?

Answer: chimp blimp

A chimp or chimpanzee is an arboreal anthropoid ape. A dirigible is an airship or blimp.

Ronald had a wonderful time watching the entire show from the basket of the blimp. He successfully suppressed the urge to toss banana peels on to the crowd below and as a result was immensely proud of himself.
5. Miss Chris was the overseer of Fotheringay Farm. She was responsible for all the housing of the animals, but there was just one problem. The farm was incredibly overcrowded and she was expecting a bus load of RUMINANT MAMMALS. The only conceivable place was a SMALL MILITARY VEHICLE. Where did she organise for them to live?

Answer: sheep jeep

Sheep are ruminant mammals. A small military vehicle is a jeep.

Despite some misgivings on the part of Miss Chris who expected much bleating, the jeep was a roaring success. Two sheep shared the front seat and started an a capella group with the two woolly ones in the back. The horn was in the key of C and started them out on the right note each and every time.
6. Heath the LARGE BOVINE ANIMAL was stumped. There was simply nowhere to spend the night and it was getting late. As he rounded the bend at the end of the village, he came upon a modest WOODEN CONTAINER. It was a bit small, but there was nothing for it. After half an hour of puffing and squeezing, he was in. Where did he spend the night?

Answer: ox box

An ox is a large bovine animal. A wooden container is a box.

Heath was not altogether uncomfortable and whiled away the evening hours playing word games in his head and composing a letter to his daughter, who was a third year student at Julliard. In the morning he left his temporary digs, and toddled back into the village for coffee and a warm croissant.
7. Carol was a LARGE CARTILAGINOUS FISH with a problem. The ocean was full and she badly needed a quiet place to sleep. She had heard of an agency on the beach front that dealt with displaced marine life, and so she gave them a call. She was in luck. Right opposite the beach was a TRACT OF RECREATIONAL PUBLIC LAND. She spent a very comfortable night where?

Answer: shark park

A large cartilaginous fish is a shark. A tract of recreational public land is a park.

Carol was most impressed with the park's facilities and even took a turn on the swings when no-one was watching. Apart from two stingrays who argued over the virtues of a constitutional monarchy well into the wee small hours, the lady slept well. She woke refreshed and went to the mall for a spot of shopping and a re-run of "Jaws".
8. Jon the TIBETAN WILD OX had popped down to Oxford for the weekend. He had a dissertation to referee and wanted to catch up with his old professor for a spot of dinner. He had imagined his secretary had taken care of his lodgings for the night, but alas, Balliol College was full and the Master, although most helpful, had only one option. A LARGE WOVEN BAG. Oh My. Where did Jon have to sleep?

Answer: yak sack

A Tibetan wild ox is a yak. A large woven bag is a sack.

Poor Jon. It was a trifle ignominious for such a celebrated scholar to bunk down in a sack, but he was a trooper. Dinner was wonderful, his old professor was in fine form, and in the morning he took a stroll through the streets of Oxford before a breakfast of kippers and Earl Grey tea.
9. Miss Liz, a SEMI-AQUATIC WEASEL-LIKE ANIMAL was in a quandary. In Paris for the annual fashion spectacular, she had nowhere to stay. Her presence at the shows was mandatory as she was such a style setter, so the staff at Yves St Laurent arranged for her to sleep in a KITCHEN BASIN. Where was she?

Answer: mink sink

A mink is a semi-aquatic weasel-like animal. A kitchen basin is a sink.

Miss Liz had a wonderful time during the week of fashion, and chose several faux fur outfits for her family members and hats for herself. Lots of hats. The kitchen area of the design house became a celebrated drop-in point for the elite clientèle of Paris. To this day the sink carries a "Miss Liz slept here" plaque engraved by one of the city's artisans.
10. Sir Terence, a LARGE DOMESTICATED SWINE, was visiting the Netherlands for his company's electronics firm. Accommodation was to be a problem this time, as he hadn't decided to attend the conference until the last minute. His aide did find one possibility - a LARGE WOODEN SHOE was available at a very reasonable rate. Where did the very elegant Sir Terence end up sleeping?

Answer: hog clog

A large domesticated swine is a hog. A large wooden shoe is a clog.

The accommodation arrangements were most successful, as the shoe had built in air conditioning, and the internet connection was excellent - which is not always the case when one is in Europe. Sir Terence arranged a return booking for the following year. He even discussed the possibility of staying in a sandal on the Riviera during the course of the summer.
