Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. WORLD: Which brand of rum, that originated in Australia, uses a polar bear as its advertising mascot?

Answer: Bundaberg Rum

The presence of the polar bear is meant to imply that Bundaberg Rum (Bundy) has the power to "ward off the coldest of winter chills". Bundaberg first began to produce rum in 1888 and in 2000 was sold to the giant alcohol distributor Diageo plc.
2. VIDEO GAMES: (Spoiler Alert) In the story line for the 'Ghost Bear's Legacy', an expansion pack for the computer game 'Mech Warrior 2' who is responsible for stealing the genetic material from the clan founders?

Answer: The Jade Wolves

(Spoiler Alert) This game has a very convoluted story line. It initially appears that the Draconis Combine were the culprits, however, as you dig deeper you will find that they are being framed by Clan Smoke Jaguar. Then, however, it gets murkier. You will uncover that Clan Smoke Jaguar had, in fact, lost the 'Battlemechs' that were being used to the Clan Wolf. Clan Wolf, we discover, is split into two factions - the 'Crusaders' and the 'Clan-in-Exile'. Ultimately it is proven that the Jade Wolves, who are a pair of renegades from the 'Crusader' Wolf Clan, were responsible.
3. TELEVISION: Which character, from the following television comedy series, had the radio codename 'Papa Bear' in the show?

4. SPORT: At which Summer Olympic Games was 'Misha', the bear, the official mascot?

5. SCIENCE: The Chinese have used bear bile for medicinal purposes for many years. Which of the following ailments was it used as a remedy for?

The ingredient 'tauro ursodeoxycholic acid' within bears' bile has been identified as having remarkable curative properties and is now able to be manufactured synthetically. This may go part of the way toward closing down the increasing number of bear bile farms appearing in some countries.

6. RELIGION: Daniel, in his visions (Daniel 7:5), saw 'four great beasts come up out of the sea'. The bear was one of these. What did the bear have between its teeth?

7. PEOPLE: Which golfer was known as the 'Golden Bear'?

Answer: Jack Nicklaus

Jack William Nicklaus was the winner of 103 professional golf tournaments, which included eighteen major titles, during his career. His rivalry with both Arnold Palmer and Gary Player was legendary and, in many ways, led to a greater public interest in the sport.

With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die"
