Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My daughter asked me in what year Christopher Columbus discovered the "New World". I answered that to know the year she needed to put side-by-side the atomic number of silicon and the atomic number of uranium. In what year did it happen?

Answer: 1492

 Christopher Columbus discovered what was then called the New World in 1492. The atomic number of silicon is 14 and it is the eighth most common element in the universe by mass. The atomic number of uranium is 92. Its discovery is credited to Martin Heinrich Klaproth who named it after the planet Uranus.
2. My daughter wanted to know in what year the United States Declaration of Independence was signed. I told her to put side-by-side the atomic number of chlorine and the atomic number of osmium. In what year did this happen?

Answer: 1776

 The signing occurred in 1776. The atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its symbol is Cl. Osmium is a chemical element with atomic number 76 and symbol Os.
Osmium is used to produce very hard alloys. Chlorine is a powerful disinfectant and is also used to produce PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
3. I took my daughter to the beach in the morning in order to observe the sun rise and teach her about cardinal points. I asked her to stretch the right arm toward the sun and the left arm to the opposite direction. Then I asked her: what direction are you facing?

Answer: North

 In this position she was facing north and her back was towards the south. Remember that the sun rises in east and sets in the west.
4. I used a different subject to teach my daughter about Roman numerals. I told her that a spider has four pairs of legs. Then I asked her: using Roman numerals, how many legs is this?

Answer: VIII

 The answer is 8 legs, which in Roman numerals corresponds to VIII. Roman numerals have been used for many years; we now often use Arabic numerals although in some cases we still use Roman numerals (on some clock faces, for example).
5. I'm teaching my daughter the concept of family. I told her that my father and my mother have three children: me and two boys. I asked my daughter: what is my relationship to these two boys?

Answer: They are my brothers.

 All the children of my parents are my brothers; if they were girls they would be my sisters and if there were one boy and one girl I could say that they are my siblings.
6. I said that I was thirsty and asked my daughter for a glass of H2O. Which drink did my daughter get for me?

Answer: Water

 Water is a colorless, odorless and tasteless liquid that freezes at 0°C and boils at 100°C. A molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen making the formula H2O.
7. A friend of my son said that he would give him one avocado. Then I asked my son: what should you do with an avocado?

Answer: Eat it

 Avocado is a rather fatty food containing unsaturated fatty acids that can actually be good for you in small amounts. It has also a high content of lecithin, potassium and vitamins D and E.
8. I told my daughter that her aunt is pregnant and expecting to give birth to a girl. She was very curious and I asked what her relationship the baby will be.

Answer: Her cousin

 They will be first cousins because I and the baby's mother are sisters.
9. I asked my son, who was studying the life of the great Italian masters (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael), in which cartoon he could find characters with these same names.

Answer: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" features four fictional anthropomorphic turtles that have the name of four Italian artists. The characters originally appeared in Mirage Studios comic books, and also appeared in films and cartoons that were very popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
10. In my daughter's class there are only ten students. If they want to form two teams to play among themselves, which sport should they choose so that they can make a full team for each side?

Answer: Basketball

 Basketball is a sport in which two teams, with five players in each, face each other. Soccer, volleyball and baseball are also sports with two teams playing against each other, but each team has 11, 6 and 9 players respectively.
