Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You will see me at the circus, wearing very large shoes, so that I walk in a funny manner. What is my circus act?

Answer: Clown

There are many types of clowns. Circus clowns often wear colored wigs, painted faces, floppy costumes, oversize shoes, and other accessories to make them look foolish. They often entertain the crowds between acts.
2. When I am on stage, I wear satin-covered shoes with a hard box around my toes, and a stiff sole to support the arch of my foot. What kind of performer am I?

Answer: Ballet dancer

Ballet dancers sometimes wear soft shoes, but when they want to dance 'en pointe' (dancing on the tips of their toes) they wear pointe shoes. These shoes are designed to support them, and help them create the illusion of floating across the stage.
3. When I run out onto the playing field, I wear special boots to help me run and turn on the grass or other surface on which my team plays. What is my sport?

Answer: Football

There are a number of different games called football around the world. In the United States, it usually means the game that other nations call gridiron. In most of the world, it refers to the game that Americans call soccer. In Australia, some states use the term to refer to some variant of rugby, while others refer to the game properly called Australian rules football.
4. I wear special boots with a blade attached when I glide across the ice. In what event might I compete at the Winter Olympic Games?

Answer: Figure skating

Figure skates have special jagged teeth on their toes, called toe picks. These assist in the performance of jumps. A figure skater's routine usually includes a combination of jumps, spins, spirals, step sequences, glides and (in pairs and ice dance) lifts.
5. As I strut down the catwalk, I usually wear shoes with very high heels to display the fashion designer's clothes to advantage. What kind of model am I?

Answer: Runway model

A model is used to display clothing (or other items, such as jewelry). They may display high fashion clothes on a runway which is often called a catwalk, or have their picture taken for magazines and catalogues, or perform on television for advertisements.
6. When I am dancing, I wear leather shoes with metal plates attached to their soles. What kind of dance am I most likely to perform?

Answer: Tap dance

Tap dancers produce clicking sounds as they hit their feet on the ground. Famous tap dancers in the movies include Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Shirley Temple. The film "Happy Feet" is about tap dancing penguins!
7. I wear large, heavy boots onto which I attach long pieces of wood, metal or plastic as I go out to compete. What is my winter sport?

Answer: Skiing

There are many different types of skiing, each with their own special kind of boots and skis. Nordic styles such as cross-country, jumping and Telemark skiing, have the boot attached only at the toe, with the heel free. Alpine skiing, also called downhill skiing, has the entire boot attached to the ski.
8. I wear sturdy leather boots that cover most of my calf, and have a strong heel to keep my feet from getting caught in the stirrups if I fall off my horse. Which of the following could NOT be my job?

Answer: Fisherman

Horse riders wear boots with a heel so that their foot doesn't slip through the stirrup. Many wear high boots, to keep the stirrup leathers from pinching their legs. Cowboy boots often have high heels and fancy decorations on the uppers.
9. I have just strapped on my ghillies, soft leather shoes with laces across the top of the foot. To what kind of dance competition might I be headed?

Answer: Highland Dancing

Ghillies are soft leather shoes, similar to ballet shoes that are used in Irish Dance (by women), Scottish Country Dance (by men) and in Highland Dancing (by both men and women). They are also sometimes called pumps or soft shoes.

The word ghillie can also mean an attendant on a fishing or hunting expedition in Scotland.
10. As I head off to work, I put on sturdy boots with steel or hard plastic lining in their toes for safety. What type of job am I most likely to have?

Answer: Builder

Safety boots are worn in industries where there is a danger that heavy objects may fall on a worker's feet. Most countries have safety standards that describe the level of protection safety boots must provide for various settings.
