Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Four out of eleven

With all four players having two cards, 44 cards have yet to be dealt. Since no tens or face cards have been dealt, there are 16 undealt tens and face cards. Sixteen out of 44 reduces to four out of eleven, or a bit over 36%.

Answer: Three out of 44

Someone already has an ace, so there are three aces among the 44 undealt cards.

Amazingly, you get an ace. "Who's laughing now?" you bark before taking a large gulp of beer and hiccupping.

3. What US game show used to include a Blackjack themed game?

Answer: The Price Is Right

The pricing game was called Hit Me. The contestant was shown six grocery items, and each item had a displayed price that was one to ten times the actual price, along with a card with the number matching how many times the actual price the item was. If the player won the game of Hit Me, by getting to 21 or having a higher total than the house while staying under 21, the contestant received a prize.

Answer: Play a Wild Draw Four card of your own.

Under a common variation of Uno, you can stack a Draw Four card on top of the previous Draw Four card, thus forcing the next player to draw eight, unless that person also has a Draw Four card. This is not in the official Uno rules, but we won't let them spoil our fun.

5. How many Wild Draw Four cards are in a standard Uno deck?

Answer: Four

There are four Draw Four cards in a deck of Uno cards. A uno deck contains 108 cards, or 112 if you include the blank cards in some modern decks.

6. How many Draw Two cards are in a standard Uno deck?

Answer: Eight

There are eight Draw Two cards, two of each color.

7. How many total numbered cards (zero to nine) are in a deck of Uno cards?

Answer: 76

According to Uno's website, there are 76 numbered cards in modern Uno decks. That number used to be eighty. There are 19 numbered cards of each color.

8. You are playing Euchre when your partner says he is "throwing off". This means he is using a maneuver to throw off the other team or catch them by surprise.

Answer: False

In Euchre, "throwing off" refers to playing a weak card. This usually occurs when players know they don't have a card that can take the current trick. By throwing off a weak card, they are saving their good cards for later in the hand.

9. In a game of Euchre, let's say spades have been declared the trump suit. Which of these cards best fits the description of "throwing off"?

Answer: Nine of diamonds

If spades are trump, the jack of clubs is the second-strongest card, behind only the jack of spades. The ace of clubs has value because the three aces that are not of the trump suit are the strongest non-trump cards. The nine of spades has value because it belongs to the trump suit. The nine of diamonds is virtually worthless, making it a card a player would be eager to throw off.

10. The cards have been dealt to begin a hand of Euchre. You are considering whether to order up the ace of hearts. Are you allowed to ask your partner how many hearts are in his hand?

Answer: No

Sorry, no communication allowed. Part of the fun of Euchre is you're not quite sure what cards the other players have, not even your partner.
