Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In art, the primary colours are red, yellow and blue. In science, when the subject is light, the colours are slightly different. Which of these is NOT a primary colour for mixing light?

Answer: Yellow

With light, red, green and blue are primary colours. Computers assign each pixel of an image an RGB value: three numbers between 0 and 255, one for each primary colour.

Red + green = yellow
Red + blue = magenta
Green + blue = cyan
Red + green + blue = white

2. One of these colours is NOT found in the title of a song or nickname for an album by The Beatles. However, this colour is part of a very famous rock band's name. Which colour is this?

Answer: Green

"Yellow Submarine" is a famous 1966 song by The Beatles; "For You Blue" is a more obscure one from 1970. Two albums by The Beatles have been given nicknames "The Red Album" and "The Blue Album"; their official names are "1962-1966" and "1967-1970", respectively.

Green, while not part of a song/album by The Beatles, is found in the name of the punk rock band Green Day, formed in 1986.

Answer: Blue

Germany's flag has red and yellow (as well as black); Italy's contains red and green (as well as white).

The following countries' flags all contain just the colours red, green and yellow: Benin, Bolivia, Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Lithuania, Mali and Senegal.

4. Three of these colours are worth more than 1 point on a snooker table. The other is the most common ball colour on the table, making up 15 of the 22 snooker balls. Which one is this?

Answer: Red

Red balls are worth 1 point each; players use the white (cue) ball to alternate between potting (or "sinking") red balls and "coloured" balls (anything else on the table).

The yellow ball is worth 2 points; green scores 3; blue has a value of 5. The other balls on the table (listed in increasing value) are brown, pink and black.

Answer: Red

Galaxies far away from us are subject to redshift: their spectra appear shifted towards the red (longer wavelength) end. Beyond the red end of visible light are infrared, radio waves and microwaves.

6. The first national park in the world has this colour in its name. The colour is also found in the name of the volcano in the park "___stone Caldera". Which colour is this?

Answer: Yellow

Yellowstone National Park is located in the US; most of it is within Wyoming, although it also extends into Montana and Idaho. It was established in 1872, and is the first national park in the world.

7. Google's logo features red, green, yellow and blue. Which colour are the "G"s in their logo?

Answer: Blue

Both the capital G and lower-case g in "Google" are blue. The "l" is green; the second "o" is yellow; the other "o" and "e" are red.

Google's bookmark/tab icon is a white "g" on a blue background.

8. The video game Pac-Man features five characters: Pac-Man and four ghosts. Which is NOT the colour of one of the characters?

Answer: Green (teal)

Pac-Man is yellow. Blinky, the red ghost, is programmed to follow Pac-Man (most of the time). Pinky is (unsurprisingly) pink, and targets squares where Pac-Man looks like he is about to move to. Inky (cyan) has rather strange behaviour, moving based on both Pac-Man and where Blinky is. Clyde is orange, and moves towards Pac-Man until he gets very close, and then runs away towards the lower-left corner of the maze.

9. Chilis can come in all of the following colours except which one?

Answer: Blue

Chilis' spiciness is measured by the Scoville scale. One of the world's hottest foods is the Carolina Reaper, which is a cross between a Ghost Chili and a Habanero; it can be as hot as 2,200,000 SHU (whereas a Jalapeno, for example, might be 5000 SHU).

10. Chlorophyll, because of the magnesium at its center, is which colour?

Answer: Green

Chlorophyll is the green pigment used by plants to photosynthesise (absorb energy from the sun). Most of nature is green because of this pigment, which is green because of a single magnesium ion found in its center.

The word comes from the Greek "chloros" and "phyllon", meaning "green" and "leaf" respectively.
