Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of the following is an antonym for the word "sticky"?

Answer: Nonadhesive

There are such a lot of meanings for the word "sticky". It is used to describe something which is adhesive or gummy, gluey or tacky. The weather can be described "sticky", or humid and sultry. You could face a "sticky" situation, where an answer or solution is not easily found.
2. "Sticky Fingers" was an album by which British rock band?

Answer: The Rolling Stones

"Sticky Fingers" was a 1971 album released by rock band, The Rolling Stones. The majority of songs were written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and these included the popular songs "Wild Horses", "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch".
3. A "sticky wicket" is a metaphor which originated from which sport?

Answer: Cricket

Cricket is played on grass, and due to the sometimes unpredictable weather, the pitch can suddenly turn into a wet mess after a heavy downfall of rain. The cricket ball can bounce in any direction due to the soft and tacky ground, making the game of play a lot trickier for the players, including the fielders who do not know in which direction to run and catch up with the ball.
4. Which "sticky" food is a staple part of Asian cuisine?

Answer: Rice

Sticky, or glutinous rice, is grown all throughout Asia including the countries China, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand. The rice does not contain gluten but has a large content of amylopectin, one of the two components of starch which makes it sticky.
5. What is a "sticky bomb"?

Answer: Hand grenade

The "sticky bomb" was invented in 1940, during World War II. The small bomb contained nitroglycerin and would be attached to an enemy tank before a detonating pin was released. Many tests and experiments were carried out beforehand to find a substance sticky enough for the bomb to adhere to the tank. An illegal substance formally used to capture birds was eventually used.

This was called birdlime.
6. Sticky notes, or "Post-it" notes, were invented by the American company "Massachusetts Modelling and Machinery Co-operation".

Answer: False

"Post-it" notes were in fact invented by the company "3M", formerly called the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. The company was famous for making different adhesive supplies including "Scotch Tape". They also made "Tartan", a synthetic track surface for athletic fields.
7. Sticky Fingaz is an American singer and actor. Which music group did he belong to?

Answer: Onyx

This hip-hop group included Sticky Fingaz, Fredro Starr, Sonsee and the late Big DS. Their first single released in 1992 was called "Throw Ya Gunz". It reached number 81 in the Billboard Hot 100 and number 34 in the UK Top 40. Sticky Fingaz television credits include acting in "The Twilight Zone" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".
8. Sticky Toffee Pudding is a British dessert which contains what?

Answer: Dates or prunes

Sticky Toffee Pudding is a steamed sponge pudding containing dates or prunes. The main addition to the pudding is the sticky toffee sauce which is made simply with butter, brown sugar, a vanilla pod and double cream. The stickier, the better!
9. Many internet community forums have popular threads which remain at the top of the page. What are these special threads called?

Answer: Sticky

The forum moderator can decide on whether to mark the thread as "sticky" or not. Previously, a popular thread was 'bumped' to bring it up to the top of the message board. A "sticky" thread remains at the top constantly, even when new messages are posted.

They can be "unstuck" when the topic has lost its appeal or any other reason that renders it unimportant to warrant such an elevated placing.
10. Which branch of science deals with a "sticky end"?

Answer: Biology

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is part of the science of biology. Molecular biology deals with "sticky ends" as part of how DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) works. The ends of DNA can be sticky and these can be joined with another DNA overhang with a sticky end.
