Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hint: This first answer and the answer to question 10 are connected. The first word completes the following title of a song recorded by Them: "____ Comes the Night".

Answer: Here

"Here Comes the Night" was written by Bert Berns and recorded in 1965 by the Northern Irish band Them with Van Morrison as the lead singer. Jimmy Page, as a guest, played guitar on the original arrangement. Over time, David Bowie, Dwight Yoakam, and Rod Stewart recorded covers of the song.

2. Take the last three letters of the previous question's answer to serve as the first three letters of a word that refers to a person who has become a hermit or a recluse, particularly because of religious or spiritual reasons.

Answer: eremite

"Eremite" appears to be a Middle English word that was derived from the Late Latin term for "educated hermit"--"ermita"--and the Greek "ermites"--"someone who lives alone in the desert". Some early Christian hermits were known to retreat from society by entering into a desert to live. Eventually, the term became more and more a poetic word for something solitary and revered.

In John Keats' poem "Bright Star, Would I Were Stedfast", he refers to a single star as "nature's patient, sleepless Eremite".

3. Now, take the last three letters from the previous question's answer to serve as the first three letters of a word that refers to one single unit on a list or an agenda.

Answer: item

Originally, the word "item" was an adverb in the Latin language and was used to mean "also, likewise, moreover, or just so".

A line-item veto refers to an act of an authority that nullifies one unit or part of a bill or a budget without nullifying the entire document.

There are a few newspapers around the United States--in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, to name a couple--with the name "The Daily Item".

4. Next, take the last three letters of the previous question's answer to serve as the first three letters of the name of the university in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that can claim Bill Cosby, Bob Saget, and Hall and Oates as alumni.

Answer: Temple

Temple University was established as a private college in 1884 by the Baptist minister Russell Conwell. It is now a state public university. The Temple Owls can trace their name back to the nickname for working class citizens--the "night owls"--who were tutored by Conwell. Before the establishment of the college, Conwell would meet with these students after they left their jobs in the evening and teach them into the night hours.

5. Once more, take the last three letters of the answer to the previous question and use them as the first three letters of a word that refers to a description of something that gives a sense of happy satisfaction, a word that means the same as "agreeable", "enjoyable", or "delightful".

Answer: pleasant

"Pleasant" comes from the Old French "plaisant" (pleasing) and "plaisir" (to please).

The song "Pleasant Valley Sunday", recorded by The Monkees and written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, uses the word "pleasant" facetiously. While the song is driven by a lovely pop melody, the lyrics rely on the power of understatement to criticize a society whose members have no greater goals in life than to keep up materialistically and socially with their next-door neighbors.

6. Again, take the last three letters of the previous question's answer and use them as the first three letters of the first word of a two-word answer. What is a two-word phrase for an old firearm?

Answer: antique gun

The oldest known handgun still in existence is referred to as the Otepaa Handgun. It dates back to at least 1396, the year when the army of the Livonian Order sieged Otep��, a town in Estonia. The barreled instrument was found in an archaeological dig beneath the collapsed walls of a castle.

7. Yet again, take the last three letters of the answer to the previous question and use them to start a word used to name the position of someone who is being threatened by a firearm aimed directly at him or her (often preceded by the word "at").

Answer: gunpoint

"Gunpoint" is also the name of video game released by Suspicious Developments in June of 2013. It was created by Tom Francis and involves pretending to be an individual named Richard Conway who has to break into various buildings, bypass guards and various security devices, and hack into different computers for the purpose of finding information that will help him clear himself of the charge of murder.

8. Once again, take the last three letters of the previous question's answer and use them as the first three letters of this question's answer, a word that refers to an electrical device that allows for one-way or two-way communication within a building or a large vehicle used for transportation.

Answer: intercom

The word "intercom" comes from the abbreviation used by American and British soldiers during World War II for the word "intercommunication". An intercom system can be quite a complex arrangement consisting of various kinds of stations, such as master stations, sub-stations, wall-stations, and door stations. There are also belt packs, headsets, and handsets.

9. Still once again, take the last three letters from the answer to the previous question and use them as the first three letters of a word that means to have all essential parts (to be whole) or to bring something to its end (to finish).

Answer: complete

"Complete" is a derivative of the Latin "complere", which meant "to fill with".

In grammar, a complete predicate of a sentence is more than merely the verb; it consists of the verb, any modifiers of that verb (i.e. an adverb), any objects of that verb, and any complements linked to the subject by that verb. For example, in the sentence "My dog eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every afternoon around three o'clock", "eats" would be the verb or predicate whereas "eats peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every afternoon around three o'clock" would be the complete predicate.

10. At long last, take the final three letters of the previous question's answer and use them to serve as the first three letters of word referring to a state of existence in which time does not exist or of a word in the title of a film starring Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra among many others. Hint: Remember that there is a connection between this answer and the first question's answer.

Answer: eternity

"From Here to Eternity" (using the first and last words of this puzzle) is an Academy Award winning film released in 1953. It was based on the novel with the same title by James Jones. Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra won Oscars for their supporting roles; and Deborah Kerr, Burt Lancaster, and Montgomery Clift were all nominated for Oscars for leading roles.

In addition to Best Picture, the film also won Oscars for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Sound Recording. Ernest Borgnine, Jack Warden, Claude Akins, and George Reeves also had supporting roles.
