Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A calculator word is a word that is spelled on the calculator using the 10 numbers 0-9. Because both 6 and 9 represent a G, I will not be using 9. All answers with a G will use a 6. To answer these calculator words, I will give you the definition of a word. What you must do is give me the numbers that you would type in order to see the word on the calculator. To see the word, the calculator must be flipped. For example, if I said "What you might say to scare someone." The answer would be "boo." But instead of typing in "boo," you would type in "008" (8=B, 0=O). Remember, you would not type this in as "800", because you need to flip the calculator to read the word "boo"! Be careful how you type your answers Ok, to start, here is your key. 1=I 2=Z 3=E 4=H 5=S 6=G 7=L 8=B 0=O First word: What calculator word means "the noises turkeys make?"

Eggshell is indeed one word. An eggshell protects the young chicken while it is developing outside of the mother. Chickens still lay eggs, even when no rooster is involved.

I hope you enjoyed the quiz. I also hope you discovered that you had to type in the answers BACKWARDS. Remember, in order to see a word on the calculator, you must FLIP the calculator UPSIDE-DOWN. Therefore, you must have originally inputted the numbers backwards in order to see it. Pretty sneaky, huh?

Thanks for playing!
