Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This series of "Junior Apprentice" in the UK saw the appearance of a new aide to Alan Sugar, as Margaret Mountford, who had served since 2005, left in 2009. What was the name of her replacement?

Answer: Karren Brady

Margaret Mountford left in 2009 to complete her PhD at UCL. She, along with fellow aide Nick Hewer, featured in "The Apprentice" from 2005 and achieved public favour for their dry and humorous criticisms of poor performing contestants during tasks.

Karren Brady's first involvement in "The Apprentice" was as team leader of the ladies' team in the 2007 "Comic Relief Does the Apprentice". Here, she led her team to victory, and, together with the boys' takings, raised over £1,000,000 for Comic Relief.
2. The prize which the 16-17 year old hopefuls were aiming for was once more to be provided Alan Sugar. However, he did not go by the usual title of "Sir Alan". What new title was given to Alan Sugar shortly before the start of this series?

Answer: Lord Sugar

This series of "Junior Apprentice" featured ten hopefuls aged 16-17 aiming to win £25,000, which would be put aside to be used in their future business careers.

Alan Sugar was made a lord in the summer of 2009, and this was the first series of "The Apprentice" where his new title was used.
3. The first task of "Junior Apprentice" 2010 saw the typical boys vs. girls format. With the boys headed by Jordan De Courcy and the girls by Hibah Ansary, what product were the teams made to sell from a market stall?

Answer: Cheese

The first challenge was to come up with a name for each team. The boys went for "Instinct", whilst the girls opted for "Revolution". Next was the task of choosing a team leader. Jordan, 16, was seen as the most confident from the start, and backed this by nominating himself quickly. The girls, however, were less enthusiastic about nominating themselves, but Hibah eventually said that she would be team leader if no-one else wanted to.

Jordan De Courcy, who started up a business selling electronics online when he was only 12, understandably worried the other contestants, who saw him as a serious candidate. However, as leader of the losing team in the first task, Jordan was seen as most culpable and so was the first to be fired.
4. In the second task, the teams were set the challenge of creating a piece of camping gear, and then pitching it to camping stores. Which girl was noted for her strong and confident sales technique during this, and other, tasks?

Answer: Zoe

Zoe's sales technique was strong, but was, in the opinion of some other contestants, too strong. She would often take over the sale of another contestant, or would dominate what was intended to be a joint sale.

Adam was chosen as leader for Instinct and Hannah for Revolution, but the two were swapped by Lord Sugar, creating two mixed-sex teams.

Despite describing herself as an inventor, Hannah took a back seat during the idea brain-storm, whilst Tim headed the idea of a sled intended to carry a person's camping gear. The rival product from Revolution failed to sell a single unit, as the buyers did not see a storage/games unit made from cardboard as a practical camping product. Revolution therefore lost, and team member Hibah was fired due to her personality, in the opinion of Lord Sugar, not being suited to the cut-throat world of business.
5. The third task saw the two teams selling cupcakes. Which contestant, who led team Instinct during this task, was the third to be fired by Alan Sugar in the board room?

Answer: Rhys

Instinct were criticised here for not acting as a team, with the other three members (Tim, Hannah and Kirsty) not supporting Rhys. Rhys, however, had flaws of his own - he had little control over the team and his sales technique was timid. For these reasons, Rhys was fired by Lord Sugar in the board room.

Both teams faced problems. Whilst Instinct were struggling to keep up in the kitchen, Revolution were left twiddling their thumbs, with no-one initially interested in buying their cupcakes. However, both teams soon began to get into their stride, and the sales in the closing hours allowed Revolution to clinch victory.
6. Following the cupcake task, Adam Eliaz also left the show, thus leaving behind his dreams of winning. For what reason did Adam leave "Junior Apprentice"?

Answer: He was ill

As it happened, Adam was on the winning team (Revolution), who were awarded a chance to have tea with Sir Richard Branson.

Adam was in the same position as Lord Sugar was at his age, having left school at 16 to start his own business. Adam was well-liked by the team, and can be seen as one of the strongest members in the cheese-selling task. However, Adam performed poorly in the second task, despite him being involved in selling camping equipment and this being the theme of the task. It looked as if this failure would cost Adam his place in "Junior Apprentice", but his spirited defence appealed to both viewers and, most importantly, Lord Sugar, thus allowing him to stay.
7. In the fourth task, the teams had to pick two individuals whose products they wanted to sell before actually selling them. What type of product were the teams selling in this task?

Answer: Art

Both teams split up so as to see as many artists as possible in this short time. In the end, both teams wanted one artist, Tom Lewis. Tom wanted to have his work displayed in Brick Lane, where Instinct were based, but he chose Revolution, as he was put off by Kirsty (the representative from Instinct), who showed little interest in his work. Zoe, on the other hand, made no secret about her passion for art, and so appealed more to Tom Lewis.

Kirsty's lack of interest in art was not the only thing to be criticised during this task, as Hannah's role of scribe also came under fire from Lord Sugar. In the end, Hannah was seen to have contributed less in this and previous tasks, and so was the next to be fired in the board room.
8. In the penultimate task, the teams once more were in charge of choosing from a range of items which they would later sell. To review these products, the candidates travelled abroad. To which city did they fly?

Answer: Amsterdam

Lord Sugar described Amsterdam as one of the centres of design, and arranged for the teams to meet six product designers.

Emma and Zoe, part of team Revolution, were very probing with their questions to some of the designers, to the point of rudeness. As team leader Arjun admitted, this perhaps prevented the team from getting the best from their designers.

After much inter-team negotiation, Instinct ended up with the Batavus bikes and the dog products, whilst Revolution were to sell baby comforters, cutlery and mood lamps.

Whilst Instinct were faced with selling the more expensive products, they were able to secure a huge deal, bringing in £37,256 from just one buyer, giving a total of £39,700 - "a record", as Lord sugar described it.

Emma, despite her passionate defence, was next to be fired in the board room.
9. In the final episode of "Junior Apprentice" 2010, Arjun and Tim faced off against Kirsty and Zoe. What product were the teams challenged with designing and pitching in the final?

Answer: Bottled water

In this episode, previous contestants returned and were chosen by the remaining candidates to be part of their teams. Adam, Rhys and Emma were chosen by Arjun and Tim, and Hibah, Hannah and Jordan were chosen by Kirsty and Zoe.

The girls went for a catchy and melodic brand name, "Drip Drop", whilst Tim and Arjun went for the simple option, giving their brand the name, "A Bottle of Water". Both teams showed how far they'd come in the contest, with confident pitches and well-informed answers.
10. After six tough tasks, who was the winner of "Junior Apprentice" 2010?

Answer: Arjun Rajyagor

Arjun was often put down as just a maths-man, but throughout the series he proved that he could pitch confidently, work well in a team, and manage others efficiently.

Whilst Lord Sugar was impressed with the pitches from both teams, as well as their answers to tough questions from big businesses, he chose Instinct (the boys) as winners. This therefore narrowed the choice of winner down to two - Tim or Arjun. Tim had Lord Sugar and his aides worried from the start, appearing as somewhat of a slacker, but he eventually showed that he had many insightful ideas and was indeed a worthy candidate. Nevertheless, the impressive performance from Arjun throughout the show's run allowed him to take the title of first Junior Apprentice and the £25,000 that came with it.
