Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which item is not always red?

Answer: The stripes on the United States flag

The stripes on the U.S. flag are both red and white. There are seven red stripes and six white stripes. The 13 stripes in total represent the original 13 colonies of the United States.

2. What is not always white?

Answer: Clouds

Many clouds look white, especially near the tops, but can look gray near the bottom. In bad weather clouds can be shades of gray or even look black when there is not much sun or the clouds are very dense.

3. Which of these is not always yellow?

Answer: Banana skins

Common bananas only turn yellow as they ripen. Before that they are usually green. In addition, there are some bananas that are red or purple even when ripe.

4. What is not always black?

Answer: Blackberry

The blackberry is not a true berry but rather what is called an "aggregate fruit." They can be nearly black or sometimes purple when fully ripened but light to medium red before that.

5. Which of these is not always green?

Answer: Lizards

Yes, lizards! Lizards can come in many colors, from the common green to gray, brown, whitish, even striped. The Gila Monster looks like it's wearing an army camouflage suit, and some lizards, like the chameleon, can change colors.

6. Which of these is not always orange?

Answer: Carrots

Are you surprised? Although most carrots are orange, there are purple and yellow carrots too. A scientist at Texas A&M University even developed a maroon skinned carrot in honor of the university's sports teams!

7. Which item here is not always blue?

Answer: The sky

The sky is just the part of Earth's atmosphere that we can see. Sometimes it looks very blue, but at other times it can be white or gray or even pink. The different colors come from sunlight being scattered or refracted.

8. Which one is not always the color gold?

Answer: Goldfish

Goldfish were one of the first fish to be domesticated as pets. They were bred from Asian carp. Although they are often gold colored, they aren't always. For example, goldfish can be pink, whitish, or even black.

9. Which of these is not always brown?

Answer: The brown bear species of bear

Surprisingly, the brown bear can be black, blonde, or brown. There may be as many as 90 types of brown bears. One of those, the Kodiak bear, is as big as a polar bear.

10. One of these is not always silver. Which one?

Answer: Robots

Robots can be any color, even though they are often shown as silver colored. The symbol Ag stands for silver. A nickname for the Raiders is "the silver and black." The DeLorean sports cars that were used to make "Back to the Future" all had a silver-appearing brushed stainless steel exterior.
