Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Take the internet domain for Switzerland and a small bird. Then add the chemical symbol for yttrium and insert 'as' for a word with a similar meaning to celibacy.

Answer: Chastity

CH, tit and Y with 'as' inserted. CH is used by Switzerland for both car identification and the internet. It stands for Confoederatio Helvetica, the country's Latin name. A small bird is a tit, with varieties such as blue tit, great tit and long-tailed tit, and Y stands for yttrium. Inserted 'as' creates the word chastity.

Chastity means to keep yourself pure by not indulging in sexual behaviour and intercourse.

Answer: Harassment

Ha, R, S, men and T with 'as' inserted. Ha is used by the coastguard instead of the postal abbreviation of HI for Hawaii. R can stand for the word river, sulphur is just S. the plural of man is men and Thailand is T. With 'as' inserted, we end up with harassment.

If someone is being a nuisance, they are harassing you and causing you irritation or even fear.

3. Take the internet domain for Brazil, the chemical symbol for silicon and the poetic form of 'before'. Then insert 'as' to find a female support garment.

Answer: Brassiere

BR, Si and ere with 'as' inserted. BR is the identifier for websites in Brazil and Si is the symbol for silicon. Poets often use 'ere' to mean before, especially when they need only one syllable to make the poem scan. Inserting 'as' creates the word brassiere.

Often abbreviated to just bra, the brassiere supports female breasts. They come in numerous designs which vary according to the woman's activities. A sporting bra will be very different from one worn with a ball gown.

Answer: Tallahassee

Tall, A, H and see with 'as' inserted. Tall is the opposite of short when talking about height - long didn't fit the other clues. A denotes Austria and H is Hungary, while a bishop is in charge of a see. Inserting 'as' creates the name of Tallahassee.

Most of us, even non-Americans, know that Tallahassee is the capital of the state of Florida, in the south east of the USA.

5. Take a postscript, an electrically charged particle and the past tense of eat. Then insert 'as' for a word meaning 'easily moved to strong feelings' (especially of love or hate).

Answer: Passionate

PS, ion and ate with 'as' inserted. Postscript is abbreviated to PS, an ion is a charged particle and ate is the past tense of ate. Insert 'as' and you get the word passionate.

To be passionate about something is to have strong feelings about it, usually positive. You can be passionate about a hobby, or a band or person. It can also be negative, though - you can hate someone with a passion as well a love them, sometimes even the same person.

Answer: Alabaster

AL, AB, Te and R with 'as' inserted. AL can stand for Albania while Aberdeen postcodes start AB. Te stands for tellurium and R can denote the rupee. With 'as' inserted you end up with alabaster.

Alabaster is a cheaper type of stone than marble and can be used for carving statues.

Answer: Masterfully

MT, Er and fully with 'as' inserted. Montana is abbreviated to MT and erbium is denoted by Er. A synonym for completely is fully and inserting 'as' in the middle of these creates the word masterfully.

This can be used as a term of admiration, 'he performed the song masterfully' although it can also have negative connotations if describing somebody with an overbearing manner.

8. Take the direction opposite to south west and the chemical symbol for bromine. Add a car model made by Ford (UK) and insert 'as' for a US state.

Answer: Nebraska

NE, br and Ka with 'as' inserted. NE can be used as an abbreviation for north east, bromine is Br and Ford made a car model called the Ka. Inserting 'as' creates Nebraska.

The state of Nebraska is in the middle of the USA and is landlocked. Major cities include Omaha, the largest, and Lincoln, the state capital.

Answer: Castanets

CT, A and nets with 'as' inserted. A CT scan is a non-invasive way of viewing inside the body, A stands for Austria and nets are used in fishing. Inserting 'as' creates castanets.

Castanets are a type of percussion instrument which can be held in one hand. It has two parts, joined by a ribbon or string, which can be clicked together to provide a rhythmic accompaniment to a flamenco, in particular.

10. Take the letter denoting centigrade and the direction opposite north west. Add a word for a part played by an actor and insert 'as' for a type of stew, or the container it's cooked in.

Answer: Casserole

C, SE and role with 'as' inserted. Centigrade is one of the uses to which the letter C is put and south east, SE, is directly opposite north west. An actor performs a role and inserting 'as' creates the word casserole.

The name originally referred to the pot in which the dish was cooked but now extends to the food itself. Casseroles are very welcome when the weather is chilly.
