Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Remember, the only consonant you need throughout this quiz is D! (Y is a consonant).......... Unusual, out of the ordinary.

Answer: odd

You'll never guess where this word comes from! "Oddi" is Icelandic for a triangle, a point of land, an odd number (3 points on a triangle).
2. An anti-Art movement in the arts that flourished in France, Switzerland, and Germany in the early 20th century.

Answer: Dada

Dadaism is based on irrationality, anarchy, rejection of beauty and the laws of social behavior. Art created by chance that has no meaning is superb Dada. Marcel Duchamp is one of the movement's better known artists.
3. Special blades for cutting grooves in wood, for use on a table saw or radial arm saw.

Answer: dado

Dado blades are stacked to chip out the groove needed for various kinds of joints in wood. Good ones cut clean grooves, cheap ones splinter the edges or don't cut flat-bottomed grooves.
4. This boy's father spent 3 years in a perpetual TV courtship.

Answer: Eddie

"The Courtship of Eddie's Father" ran for 3 seasons, 1969-1972 and starred Bill Bixby.
5. This little word can mean to cause, to visit, to cheat, to solve, to produce and 23 other things.

Answer: do

Yes, Webster's Unabridged 2nd Edition gives a total of 28 definitions of "do." As examples of the definitions above...To cause: to do no harm, to visit: Can we do Paris this summer?, to cheat: to do someone, to solve: to do the math problem, and to produce: to do Hamlet.
6. The tool used for cutting threads in bolts.

Answer: die

A die can mean any sort of mechanical mold or shaping device, but is most commonly applied to the threading of screws and bolts.
7. What you probably did with 2 and 2 in first grade.

Answer: added

Addition is one of the four basic mathematical operations, along with subtraction, multiplication and division. (I added add to the list of correct answers, just to be really fair, although the hint is 5 letters.)
8. Zechariah's father or ancestor. (see Ezra 5 if this just isn't right in the forefront of your memory!)

Answer: Iddo

Zechariah returned from captivity to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. Ezra 5:1 says he was the son of Iddo, but "son" here is the word with a general meaning of family lineage so that there is no contradiction with Zechariah 1:1 where it states that Zechariah was Iddo's grandson.
9. This flightless bird was extinct by 1681.

Answer: Dodo

The dodo was discovered in 1598 on the island of Mauritius. It was a large bird (over 50 lbs. or 20 kg) covered in soft, grey feathers, with a plume of white at its tail, and a heavy hooked beak. Feral dogs, pigs, and hunters wiped out the entire population.
10. A city in the Veluwe forest area of the Netherlands. Home of the Rippen Piano Company.

Answer: Ede

Ede is located west of Arnhem and also hosted the 2002 Peacedog Festival of hardcore, punk and rock music. Probably not what Mr. Rippen had in mind.
11. The _______-Tomson index accounts for the impact of pressure and partial pressure of carbon dioxide on the pH of water, and on the solubility of calcium carbonate.

Answer: Oddo

Next time you need to calculate the corrosion factors for your kitchen faucet, just whip out the old Oddo-Tomson index for the saturation of water with lime scale.
12. An act or feat accomplished.

Answer: deed

Straight to us from Middle English, a thing which has been done.
13. Next time your computer's SCSI (say Skuzzy) card goes bad you might replace it with this.

Answer: EIDE

Enhanced Intelligent Drive Electronics (or Integrated Drive Electronics) to control the data interface between your disk storage units.
14. First name of Annie in the musical "Oklahoma!"

Answer: Ado

Ado Annie was the gal who "Cain't Say No" when a "feller gets flirty and starts to talk pertty."
15. From the Dutch "dood," for dead, (either of those words would fit this puzzle) we get the word for a lazy person or a shell that didn't explode.

Answer: dud

Add an s (which we can't for this puzzle) and get duds, meaning clothes. But this word comes from "dudde," Middle English for cloth. Aren't words wonderful?
