Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If you went into a "Garda station" in Ireland, what might you be looking for?

Answer: A police officer

The Garda S�och�na is the name of Ireland's police force. The name is in the Irish language and means Guardians of the Peace. They are often informally referred to as the guards.

Question by player Flukey

2. You don't have to be a carnivore to be a beefeater. What is the proper name for the guardians of the Tower of London?

Answer: Yeoman Warder

The Yeomen Warders these days are usually retired non-commissioned officers from one of the armed forces. In 'days of yore' a yeoman was a land holder of middling status, between a peasant and a squire. Since the Tower of London is a prison, a palace, and a tower, any of the other options might be appropriate but have never been used.

Question by player kkt

3. Who is Amy Coney Barrett, and why was she in the headlines in 2020?

Answer: Nominated to the Supreme Court of the US

Amy Coney Barrett (b. 1972) was a judge on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She was nominated by President Trump to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court. Her nomination was seen as controversial in some quarters, both because of her conservative views and the nomination coming only a few weeks before the presidential election.

4. What is the English equivalent of the word "casa" in Spanish, Italian, Latin, and Portuguese?

Answer: house

Spanish, Italian, Latin, and Portuguese are similar languages, so many words are shared, including "casa", which means "house". In both Spanish and Portuguese, there is a related verb, "casar", which means "to marry".

5. "My hat's in the ring. The fight is on and I'm stripped to the buff," was said by which bullish or bearish US presidential candidate in 1912?

Answer: Theodore Roosevelt

Roosevelt took the unusual step for an ex-president of challenging the incumbent from his own Republican party, Taft. He failed to win the Republican nomination, and ran for his new party, the Progressive or Bull Moose Party. Splitting the Republican vote meant that Wilson won for the Democrats. Roosevelt beat Taft into third.

Question by player Upstart3

6. What breed of dog is on the logo of the American footwear company "Hush Puppies"?

Answer: Basset Hound

A basset hound named Jason was the original icon for the American footwear company "Hush Puppies" and that's why the breed is sometimes called "hush puppies." They are short-legged scent hounds originally bred to hunt hare, and their name comes from the French word "bas" which means "low." Basset hounds have the longest ears of all dog breeds.

9. Most Americans have heard of the NSA, the National Security Agency, but what is the NAS in the United States?

Answer: National Academy of Sciences

The National Academy of Sciences, was established by President Lincoln in 1863 to "investigate, examine, experiment, and report upon any subject of science."

Question by player boredinVA

10. In 2014, AirBaltic, the flag carrier airline of Latvia, became the first airline in the world to do what?

Answer: Accept Bitcoins for online bookings

AirBaltic was set up in 1995 as a joint project between Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) and the Latvian government. Bitcoins are an online digital currency invented by Satoshi Nakamoto and introduced in 2009. Handing out parachutes on departure could be a bit of a deterrent for repeat passengers, but I'm sure flying lessons and BOGOF offers would stimulate business! Something for AirBaltic to think about maybe?
