Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The last three letters of an answer form the first three letters of the next answer. Eg: ApPLE, PLEntiFUL, FULler. If you get stuck on an answer, it may be possible to skip forward then work your way back. If there is more than one answer to a question, make sure it fits with the clues. First word: Which word may be used to describe a complete lack of light?

Answer: Blackness

Blackness is the property of having no light. It also refers to the amount of ink on a printed page.

For this first word darkness and dimness are both allowed despite beginning with 'D' and having fewer than 9 letters because the ending is the same in all words. Lightless has been allowed for the same reason.

2. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is another name for perfumes or flavourings?

Answer: Essences

The last word was darkness, so this word must begin with 'ESS'.

Fragrances like perfume begin with a base of (usually) floral essences. The most common essence used in cooking is vanilla essence, which is made from vanilla pods. Extract and essence are both used for flavouring and are very similar. The essence may be either an imitation flavour or conversely, it may be a concentrated extract.

3. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what might you call a repository for sewerage?

Answer: Cesspit

The last word was essences, so this word must begin with 'CES'.

A cesspit may refer to a sewer or a place known for corruption and filth.

Although cesspool means the same, it cannot be allowed as it does not link with the following word.

4. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is both a flagon and a person who throws a baseball?

Answer: Pitcher

The last word was cesspit, so this word must begin with 'PIT'.

Bottle, urn, jug and ewer are all synonyms of a flagon, but I've never heard of one pitching a baseball. At least not yet.

5. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is another name for a recluse?

Answer: Hermit

The last word was pitcher, so this word must begin with 'HER'.

A hermit or recluse is a person who lives a solitary life with minimal interaction with other people.

6. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, name a type of winter hand covering.

Answer: Mitten

The last word was hermit, so this word must begin with 'MIT'.

A mitten is a type of glove that has one section for the four fingers and one for the thumb.

7. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, if you care for or look after something, what are you said to do?

Answer: Tend

The last word was mitten, so this word must begin with 'TEN'.

To tend to something is to care for it or look after it.

8. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, if something is bequeathed or left to you in a will, it has been what?

Answer: Endowed

The last word was tend, so this word must begin with 'END'.

To be given or inherit something is to be endowed. It also refers to special talents you may have been born with.

9. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, which day is widely regarded as the middle of the working week?

Answer: Wednesday

The last word was endowed, so this word must begin with 'WED'.

The only possible answer here is Wednesday, the middle day of a Monday to Friday working week.

It may also refer to the Addams family daughter.

10. Final word. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is the period of time between sunup and sundown?

Answer: Daylight

The last answer was Wednesday, so this word must begin with 'DAY'.

The time of day between sunup and sundown is daylight. This word has the required 8 letters, but other acceptable answers are day or daytime.
