Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. It's a hot morning, but I've got quite a bit of gardening to do. First on my list is to cut some long grass using an implement made of element 28. What would I be using?

Answer: nickel sickle

You'll most often find nickel combined with other metals, like in coins, magnets and batteries.

Sickles are small tools with curved, almost semi-circular blades that are used to cut plants and grass.
2. There are some overhanging tree branches near my fence, so I'll need to prune them using my special saw-on-a-stick, made of element 29. What will I be using now?

Answer: copper lopper

Copper is an extremely useful metal which can be found in coins, wires and in the alloys brass and bronze, where it combines with zinc and tin, respectively.

A lopper is a handy tool with a saw on the end to cut hard-to-reach branches.
3. Now that the gardening is all done, I need to dispose of the green waste. I know exactly where I'll put it all: inside a rubbish receptacle made of element 50. Any ideas as to what it is?

Answer: tin bin

Tin is used in circuitry, soldering, and in pewter.

I'm sure I don't need to remind you of what a bin is. I could remind you to always separate your household waste and recycling into separate bins, though.
4. I've got to head out later, so I'll make a small dessert for when I get home this evening. I'll put some jelly into this cast made of element 79. What is this?

Answer: gold mold

Gold is extremely malleable and ductile and is prized for its value. You'll find gold in jewellery, circuitry and in such luxuries as gold leaf.

Molds or moulds are casts that are usually of a certain shape and can be filled with a range of substances, edible or inedible, to produce an item in the mold's shape. Mold or mould is also a type of fungus, usually found on food that has gone off big time.
5. Unfortunately, I can't get to where I need to be because my bike's chain is broken. It's missing one loop made of element 30. What is it missing?

Answer: zinc link

Zinc is used to galvanise metal, improve the immune system, and can be found in batteries.

A chain is, quite obviously, a series of interconnected loops, known as links, though chains don't always have to be made of metal.
6. After catching the bus, I've arrived at the arena made of element 88, where I'll be giving my talk. Where am I now?

Answer: radium stadium

Radium is radioactive and was discovered by husband-and-wife duo Pierre and Marie Curie. When it was originally discovered, it was thought of and used as a novelty because it glowed in the dark.

Such famous world stadiums include Wembley Stadium in London, Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, and Yankee Stadium in New York City.
7. When I go on stage, I'll take my place on a platform made of element 11. Where will I be addressing the audience from?

Answer: sodium podium

Sodium is an alkali metal, commonly found combined with chlorine as sodium chloride, or table salt. Depending on the size of the sodium, it will explode when thrown into water.

The winner's podium seen after sporting events features three different levels for the top three competitors in the event.
8. Naturally, I know all the lingo and specialised language associated with element number 18. What do I know?

Answer: argon jargon

Argon is a noble gas and, after nitrogen and oxygen, is the third most abundant gas in the atmosphere.

If you're talking to someone and they use a lot of words that you don't recognise, chances are they're using jargon, specialised language associated with a particular field.
9. Despite my vast knowledge, I'm afraid I'll still get heckled and called a fool and an idiot because I know all about element number 5. What am I dreading being called?

Answer: boron moron

Boron is used in domestic cleaning products and semiconductors. When ignited, boron burns green.

I can tell you that, despite this quiz's appalling title, I'm not a moron. I'm affectionately referred to as a muppet.
10. Thankfully, my talk went smoothly and I'm back at home after an exhausting day. After I devour my little jelly snack, I think I'll go to sleep on that piece of furniture made of element 82. Where will I be slumbering?

Answer: lead bed

Lead was famously used in Roman pipes, but more recently finds a home in car batteries, bullets, and in items used to shield against x-rays.

I think I might need a lie down after this. Thankfully, my bed isn't made of lead. It's made of... softness.
