Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My friend Freddo Ford loves his chocolate. Problem is that he tends to eat too much of it. His favourites are the chocolate seashell shaped pralines made by the Belgian chocolaterie that was founded in 1960 by Guy Foubert.
Using seven letters identify the Belgian chocolate that Freddo loves so much.
2. On one occasion Freddo ate so much chocolate that we thought he was going to burst. "I've eaten too much" he wailed "I feel like a hen about to give birth to a chocolate egg".
Remove one letter from the previous answer and rearrange the remaining six to create another word to signify a hen "giving birth" to an egg.
3. "Holy glass and a half Freddo" I cried "how many chocolates did you end up eating"? "Not sure" he replied. He soon figured that if he put all his empty wrappers in a row we would be able count them easily.
Dropping another letter from the previous answer, rearrange the rest and identify a five letter word that identifies what Freddo did with his wrappers before counting them.
4. "Oh no" lamented Freddo "with all that chocolate that I've eaten I'm sure to have added a few extra pounds to the already prominent spare tyre around my waist".
Now drop another letter, scramble what remains and create a four letter word that describes what Freddo has achieved in respect to his weight.
5. The thought of his pudgy midriff started to give Freddo the blues and as a means to get rid of them he stared longingly at a bottle of alcohol sitting on his shelf.
Drop a letter from the previous answer and you will arrive at the spirit, made from juniper berries that Freddo had fixed his gaze upon.
6. Freddo got the message that alcohol was not the answer and declared "I will go to bootcamp and put myself through a physical exercise regime. I'll be fit and trim just like that Marvel Comics action hero ... um ... "something something Joe: A Real American Hero".
The something something that Freddo was struggling to remember represent which two letters from the previous answer?
7. Freddo showed up at bootcamp, took one look at the exercise routines and the colour soon drained from his face. Pretty soon he found a couch, collapsed into it and allowed inertia to set in.
Remove one of the above letters. This should leave you with one letter and it will represent the symbol for the moment of inertia (physics).
8. Words of encouragement have worked and Freddo is off the couch. He's left the building and gone for a jog. Actually it's more of a stumble with wheezes but at least it is working for him. Within a couple of weeks he's lost 25.4mm from his waistline.
If you add a letter to the previous answer you will arrive at the abbreviation for the imperial measurement that 25.4mm represents.
9. Not being the strongest of wills there were moments when Freddo would waver in his training. At times like these his girlfriend Cherry would castigate him "you have no heart Freddo, just like that man from L. Frank Baum's "Land of Oz"".
Add another letter to the previous answer to identify the man that Cherry was referring to.
10. Cherry went away for a week and Freddo slipped off the wagon. Discipline went out the window when he spotted a pub and dropped in for a couple of beers.
Add another letter to the previous word, mix them around a bit and create the word that would represent, in imperial measurements, the size of glass that Freddo was drinking from.
11. When Cherry returned and found out about Freddo's indiscretion she was ripe with anger, in fact, she was hopping mad (both puns intended). "You're a baby chicken" she yelled at him "you're a mottled little bean. In fact, you'd have to be one of the worst Fords ever"!
Don't cringe, just add another letter to the previous answer and arrive at a word that would sit comfortably with all three insults Cherry levelled at Freddo. (Hint: It's the word for baby chicken in another language, a type of bean and a Ford model).
12. "Either you pull your finger out or I'm walking out" cried an indignant Cherry. "That is your alternative".
What was Freddo left with here? Add another letter to the last word and rearrange them to find out.
13. That was the cruncher for Freddo. He would be lost without Cherry and he knew it. A steely resolve took control of him and he began to exercise with regularity and intensity. He took care about what he was putting into his body and even though he ate often he would balance this by making each helping smaller.
Now, while Freddo is on a mission to lose, I need you to add another letter to the previous answer, twist them a bit and find an alternative word for Freddo's helping.
14. Freddo was starting to look leaner, fitter and a lot more alert but he did give us a terrible scare along the way. He was on his day off, having a rest, when he suddenly grabbed at his chest. Fearing a heart attack we rushed him to the hospital but, after checking his system for certain protein levels, the doctor determined that it was unstable angina.
Add another letter to those above and rearrange your new set to find the name of the test that the doctor ordered. It is also the name of the protein that binds the calcium ions within your contracting muscle tissue.
15. "Don't do that again" begged a tearful Cherry "you nearly gave me a heart attack". What it drove home to both of them though, was that they had to listen more closely to the signals their bodies were sending them and not to work to the extremes. There should be rewards along the way for their efforts and so, every once in a while, Freddo and Cherry sit back and watch the sun set while enjoying a glass of red wine made from a grape that is usually associated with the Burgundy region of France.
Add a final letter to our progression, mix them up and split them into two words to identify Freddo's favourite red wine.
