Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Top six answers are on the board. Name a pet you keep in a cage."

Answer: Family Feud

"Family Feud" debuted in 1976 and was hosted by Richard Dawson. Since then, a number of different hosts have presided over the show including Steve Harvey and John O'Hurley. The show has a lasting legacy of taking surveys of 100 people and asking the families to name the most popular responses to any given question.

In the bonus round, two people from the winning family must give responses to five questions. The total amount of points earned must be 200 or more in order to claim the grand prize.

2. "Gentlemen, would you say your wife most resembles a monkey, a pig, a cat or an eagle?"

Answer: The Newlywed Game

"The Newlywed Game" debuted in 1966 and was hosted by Bob Eubanks. Eubanks hosted many different iterations of the show, although other hosts took over on occasion. The show featured newly married couples as they compete for a prize - typically a second honeymoon - by matching responses to questions. Oftentimes, the questions were provocative and probed into their personal and sex lives.

3. "And this unusual career you have, do you do it outside?"

Answer: What's My Line?

"What's My Line?" debuted in 1950 and was hosted by John Charles Daly originally. The show featured a celebrity panel who would ask questions in order to guess a contestant's career or something else unusual about them. The contestant would win money based on how many "no" answers he or she was able to give the celebrities before they guessed the fact in question.

4. "He's the president on the five dollar bill."

Answer: Jeopardy!

"Jeopardy!" debuted in 1964 and was originally hosted by Art Fleming. On "Jeopardy!", the answers are provided to the players who then must answer in the form of a question. Incorrect answers or failure to answer in the form of a question deducts money from the contestant's pot. The version of "Jeopardy!" originally hosted by Alex Trebek debuted in 1984.

5. "Would you like to keep the $1000 or would you like to trade it for what's behind curtain #2?"

Answer: Let's Make a Deal

"Let's Make a Deal" debuted in 1963 and was hosted by Monty Hall. Hall would select costumed contestants from the audience to play a game. Each contestant had a chance to win a prize. However, these prizes were often hidden behind curtains or under boxes. Players would have to choose between several options or trade away an already won prize for a mystery gift.

Some of the prizes were "zonks" or junk prizes such as donkeys or broken furniture. A revived version hosted by Wayne Brady debuted in 2009.

6. "We polled 100 police officers and we asked them 'have you declined to write a ticket to a speeding driver because you found them attractive.' How many police officers said, yes they have done that?"

Answer: Card Sharks

"Card Sharks" debuted in 1978 and was hosted by Jim Perry. A 1986 version was hosted by Bob Eubanks. In each match, two players faced off to see how could travel across the board of cards faster by determining if each card was of higher or lower value than the one preceding it.

In order to determine control of the board, one player would be asked a question and have to guess how many of 100 people gave a response. The other player would have to guess if the actual number was higher or lower than the answer the other gave.

7. Refrigerator.

Answer: Password

"Password" debuted in 1961 and was hosted by Allen Ludden. Contestants would pair up with celebrity partners in order to guess the password by providing one word clues. Future additions such as "Password Plus" and "Super Password" added another element where five passwords came together to form the answer to a larger puzzle the contestants would have to guess in order to head to the Alphabetics bonus round.

8. "Dumb Donald is so dumb he thought a flea market is where you go to buy BLANK."

Answer: Match Game

"Match Game" debuted in 1962 and was hosted by Gene Rayburn. However, the more familiar version, also hosted by Rayburn, debuted in 1973. That version featured a panel of six celebrities who would attempt to match their answers to two contestants. Each round, Rayburn would tell a short story with a blank in it.

The contestant would fill in the blank in an attempt to match the celebrities. The stories were often comic and featured several characters such as Dumb Donald, Ugly Edna and 102-year-old Mr. Periwinkle.

9. "Does the price of the coffee pot begin with a 5 or end with a 0?"

Answer: The Price is Right

"The Price is Right" debuted in 1956 but with very different rules than the more familiar version that debuted in 1972 with Bob Barker. In the 1972 version, players were called from the audience to contestants' row where they would have to bid on an item to play a pricing game.

The most iconic pricing game is Plinko where players have to guess if the price of a small prize begins or ends with a certain number. If correct, the player earns a Plinko chip they can slide down the Plinko board to earn money.
