Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, what do we do when we fall over our own feet?

Answer: trip

We can trip over anything in our way if we try really hard. We can also take a trip, meaning a journey.

2. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, what should you never do if you hope to succeed?

Answer: quit

'If at first you don't succeed, try, try again', but NEVER quit, or give up.

3. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, what is a small hole in the skin through which we perspire?

Answer: pore

Pores allow us to rid our bodies of excess moisture, which evaporates, cooling us down when exercising. It also contains wastes, such as salt.

4. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, what is a word used for tapping the ball into the hole in golf?

Answer: putt

The club used for this is the putter, and you can practise 'putting' on your living room carpet (ask mum first). :-)

5. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, find a word for something we could use to catch a cow at the rodeo.

Answer: rope

Calf-roping is a popular event at the rodeo, where the contestant on his/her horse, ropes a calf, dismounts and ties it with the rope, trying for the quickest time.

6. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, find a word for the front part of a ship.

Answer: prow

The front of a ship can also be called the bow. The back is the stern.

7. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, find a word describing what I do on my keyboard to make up a quiz (apart from think very, very hard). :-)

Answer: type

Much better than hand-writing! This is actually called a QWERTY keyboard.

8. If I did decide to create a quiz by hand, using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, what word would describe what I would be doing now?

Answer: write

The first type of writing humans used was in the form of pictures, like the Egyptian hieroglyphics, and even further back, cave paintings. How would we function today without it?

9. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, write the past tense of 'write'.

Answer: wrote

All verbs have different tenses, usually to show when the action took place. 'Write' is the present tense, meaning 'now'. The past tense is 'wrote', as in yesterday, or 5 minutes ago. There are other tenses, but those are the ones we use most often.

10. Using only the letters QWERTYUIOP, find a homophone of 'wrote', meaning to learn by heart.

Answer: rote

Homophones are words with the same sound, but different spelling (and meaning). Sometimes, learning 'by rote', doesn't help to understand what we're learning, but we usually remember it (hopefully).
