Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Currency unit of Turkey

Answer: Rail

Lira.

The lira is also used in Syria and Lebanon. Before the introduction of the euro, it was the currency of Italy, while Cyprus and Malta both switched from lira (which in Cyprus was also known as a pound) to the euro after joining the European Union.

2. Prevaricator

Answer: Rail

Liar.

A liar could also be called mendacious. The rubber-faced actor, Jim Carrey, starred in the hilarious 1997 movie 'Liar, Liar', where he was forced to tell the truth for an entire day. As a lawyer, this presented many problems for him, but he finally saw the light.

3. Den

Answer: Rail

Lair.

A lair is a hiding place for a wild animal, such as a wolf. It can also be used in reference to a pirate, or an outlaw.

In Australia, a lair is a show-off, and the word can be extended to 'lairise', meaning to act like a larrikin or show pony.

4. Currency of Iran

Answer: Rail

Rial.

The rial is used in several Middle East countries, including Oman and Yemen. The Iranian banknotes range in denominations from 1,000 rials to 100,000 rials. The Omani rial ranges from 1/2 rial notes up to 50 rial, and a rial is subdivided into 1,000 baisa.

5. Currency of Georgia

Answer: Rail

Lari.

Because of hyperinflation, mainly precipitated by the breakup of the old Soviet Union, the Lari replaced the previous currency, the Kuponi, at a transfer rate of 1,000,000 to one.

6. Terminate

Answer: Post

Stop.

The word 'stop' has many meanings. As a verb, it can mean to end, as in "Stop singing", as a noun, such as a bus stop, or an organ stop, and even as an adjective 'stop-gap measure'.

7. See

Answer: Post

Spot.

Spot is another word with lots of different meaning, one being 'to see'. "Did you spot the zebra hidden in the bushes?" or "Did you spot the ink spot on the ten-spot? How about a spot of gin - that'll hit the spot!"

8. Cauldrons

Answer: Post

Pots.

Pots generally hang out with pans in kitchen cupboards, and can be used for cooking. They can also be used as storage, as in a pot of jam or a pepper pot.

9. Chooses

Answer: Post

Opts.

To opt is to make a decision. You can opt in to a website, giving them permission to contact you, or alternatively opt out, which will block them.

10. Apexes

Answer: Post

Tops.

The pointy bit at the top of the Great Pyramid of Cheops is an apex. The opposite to 'top' is 'bottom', and the bottom of that pyramid is not visible, as it is covered by sand (and many large pieces of stone)!
