Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A structure that provides lift and stability in a flying object.

Answer: Airfoil

The British spelling is aerofoil.
Along with lift and stability, an airfoil can also provide propulsion and a degree of directional control. Airfoils are not the only wings; propellers are also airfoils.

2. Drop a letter and rearrange the remainder to provide a word that means of or relating to leaves.

Answer: Foliar

Foliage is considered to be leaves en masse and is generally used to describe leaves as a feature of a plant.

3. Drop another letter, rearrange what remains and find a word that means fragile, can be easily broken.

Answer: Frail

As the team from Monty Python used to say "and now for something completely different"; a frail is also a rush basket that is used for holding fruit, especially dried fruit.

4. Please drop another letter and rearrange the remainder to identify the primary currency of Italy prior to the introduction of the Euro.

Answer: Lira

The lira was made up of 100 centesimi and was replaced by the Euro in 2002. It was also the main currency of the Vatican City, San Marino and Malta.

5. Now drop another letter and anagram the balance to find a word that indicates to be unwell or to feel pain.

Answer: Ail

We meant ail, not ale. Having said that, too much ale will certainly leave you ailing.

6. Drop a final letter and arrange the two that remain to identify the symbol for the element with the atomic number 3.

Answer: Li

Lithium is our lightest known metal and it is used as a hardener in alloys, in a range of batteries and as a reducing agent.

Nil is a contraction of the Latin word nihilum.

8. Add a letter, rearrange and arrive at a word that means a claw or a talon or, alternatively, a piece of metal that can be used as a fastener.

Answer: Nail

"And now for something completely different". A nail is also a measure used for cloth. It is the equivalent of 1/16th of a yard (or 5.7 centimetres).

9. Add another letter and rearrange your set to find a word that means a solid filling that is fitted into a tooth cavity.

Answer: Inlay

Fillings can be made of materials such as porcelain or gold, and then cemented into place.

10. Finally the prayer. Add a letter to your set and then rearrange them to identify an incantatory recital.

Answer: Litany

A litany usually consists of a string of petitions or pleas by a prayer leader and each is followed by a fixed response from the audience or congregation.
