Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does your eye do, without requiring any conscious effort on your part, many times a day? Contains 'ink'.

Answer: Blink

Blinking is a semi-automatic closing and opening of an eye and helps to keep the eye moist. It is not unusual to blink ten times a minute, but when the eye is focused, such as in reading, it may only occur three or four times a minute. The word contains 'ink'.
2. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles' style was characterized as often bringing the nation to the ______ of war. Fill in the blank with an 'ink' word.

Answer: Brink

Dulles was Secretary of State during the Eisenhower years (1953-1958). In an interview he described brinkmanship by stating, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art" and added, "Neutrality has increasingly become obsolete and, except under very exceptional circumstances, it is an immoral and shortsighted conception".
3. In the days when houses were heated with coal, it was someone's job to clean out the _______. Fill in the blank. Remember the word must have the letters 'ink'.

Answer: Clinkers

Coal burning normally produces ashes but lower grades of coal may leave several rock-like things or clinkers. These are incombustible residue, fused into an irregular lump.
4. What is a five letter word that contains 'ink' and describes the odor that a skunk or polecat might make?

Answer: Stink

The skunk's two glands located near the anus contain a highly offensive odor with a sulfur base. It is used as defensive weapon when the skunk feels endangered. The glands contain enough for about five uses, then need up to ten days to regenerate.
5. To prevent dehydration one must consume fluids. What is a five letter starting with 'd', containing 'ink', that describes the act of ingesting liquids?

Answer: Drink

A word that describes a drink that is safe is potable. In regard to water it means it is fit to drink, pure and clean and free from pollution. About 10% of the world's population live in areas without potable water.
6. What did Swiss psychologist Hermann Rorschach develop as a means of psychological assessment? The answer has 'ink' in it.

Answer: Inkblots

The concept of ambiguous material giving insights into personality and emotional issues date back to Leonardo da Vinci. Hermann Rorschach was the first to try to codify responses. Because of wide ranging possible interpretations, if given, it is not a part of court order assessment. Bill Murray in "What About Bob?" (1991) tells this joke:

"The doctor draws trees, "What do you see?" The guy says "sex". The doctor draws a car, owl, "Sex, sex, sex". The doctor says to him "You are obsessed with sex", he replies "Well you're the one drawing all the dirty pictures!"
7. What 'ink' word is a slang term applied to a person who informs on others or shows a lack of commitment to a task?

Answer: Fink

A 'fink' is someone in disrepute and often informs on others or fails to complete an assignment. A fink is untrustworthy and may betray persons closest to them.
8. Although out of fashion now, from what mustelidae animal did many expensive fur coats come? Make sure your answer contains 'ink'.

Answer: Mink

In old films we sometimes see a young woman whose ambition is to marry a rich man so she can have the jewelry and mink coat that would be the icons of the relationship. Times have changed, and such agencies as the Humane Society and PETA see such apparel as examples of animal cruelty. Even so, advertisements on the internet quote $4000 dollars for a new mink coat. To show how times have changed, parts of the United States, Canada, and Russia were first explored and settled by fur traders.
9. What is an onomatopoeic word that describes the sound that swine might make? Again, the word contains the letters 'ink'.

Answer: Oink

There are literally hundreds of words that mimic sound and are therefore onomatopoeic. Words such as achoo, jingle, plop, snore, and zip are not even the tip of the iceberg.
10. What word is used for a gift of little value, and has 'ink' in it?

Answer: Trinket

A trinket is often a cheap piece of jewelry or a type of souvenir. Synonyms include knickknack, bauble, ornament, curio, trifle, toy, or novelty.
11. FunTrivia has many quizzes and games that encourage you to engage in what cognitive process? Remember that the letters 'ink' must be present.

Answer: Think

It certainly does me. FunTrivia, established in 1995 by Jerry Yang and Terry Ford through Yahoo.com is an international site with over two million registered users and many more guest players.
12. You are most likely to see a Zamboni on a ____. Fill in the blank with an 'ink' word.

Answer: Rink

If you have ever been on ice skates, for pleasure, figure skating, or hockey, you know the dangers of uneven and pitted ice, particularly on outside rinks. In 1949 refrigeration expert Frank Zamboni invented the ice surfacing machine that revolutionized maintenance of indoor rinks. The early machines were gas powered and spewed toxic gases. Modern Zambonis are electrical.
13. One of the ravages of time is that we develop what on our bodies? It is a plural word that has the letters 'ink' in it.

Answer: Wrinkles

Wrinkles are complex. Wrinkle management may include limiting exposure to direct sunlight, consuming foods with antioxidants, not smoking, and getting quality sleep. Lotions and creams may camouflage the condition, but not resolve it.
14. Harry wanted his lawn to be the best in his neighborhood so he installed a ________ system. Fill in the blank with a word that has 'ink' in it.

Answer: Sprinkler

Leonardo da Vinci invented a form of water sprinkler in the 1400s. It was unsuccessful and led to flooding. Ambrose Godfrey created the first successful automated fire sprinkler system in 1723 but had to use gunpowder to release the water. The first practical lawn sprinkler was patented by J. Lessler of Buffalo, New York in 1871.

It was activated with a gardening hose. Except for underground systems, nothing much has changed.
15. What word describes a defense mechanism used by octopuses, and has 'ink' in it?

Answer: Ink

Octopuses and other cephalopods spew ink from just behind their gills as a defense mechanism, using the cloud of ink to strike a path away from a predator. The color may vary from inky black to brown depending on the species. It is composed mostly of melanin and it is used in some gourmet cooking.
