Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Remove the 'brewed beverage' from the story

Answer: Brewed beverage

Tale - T = Ale

Removing a brewed beverage (T) from a story (tale) leaves you with a different type of brew (ale). A very happy tale indeed.

2. Remove the 'bird' from Jack's partner

Answer: Unwell

Jill - J = Ill

A jay (J) is a bird of the crow family and Jack's partner while traipsing up the hill is Jill. So after Jill lost her J and he broke his crown, it's no wonder poor Jack felt so ill.

3. Remove the 'surprised expression' from the Asian desert

Answer: Japanese sash

Gobi - G = Obi

To get the obi from the Gobi you just remove the 'G'. Gee! How easy was that!

4. Remove the 'body of water' from the baby's bed

Answer: Curved bone

Crib - C = Rib

See? I wasn't talking about a sea resulting from a nappy failure. A cot is also a type of baby's bed, but it is only three letters. An 'ot' isn't a curved bone and is only two letters, so nice try but no cigar.

5. Remove the 'question' from a noble woman's title

Answer: Young boy

Lady - Y = Lad

A question? Y? A noble woman often has the title 'Lady' so obviously a young boy can be called a lad. Or laddy. Or perhaps not. Laddie might be better. Hmm. Goes to show, you can take the lad out of the lady but not the other way around.

6. Remove the 'green legume' from the rotation

Answer: Offence

Spin - P = Sin

A green legume is a pea (P). To rotate or turn is spin. An offence or moral wrongdoing is a sin. So the pea is removed during the spin cycle leaving one the seven deadlies behind. Did they all come out in the wash, or is it simply a case of money laundering?

7. Remove the 'honey maker' from lost body fluid

Answer: Showed the way

Bled - B = Led

A honey-making insect is a bee (B). A body fluid is blood so having lost blood is bled. Bleed the B to lead the way. Scrub that... bled the B to led the way?

8. Remove the 'debt' from the cleansing bar

Answer: Plant fluid

Soap - O = Sap

A debt or an obligation to pay is to owe (O). A cleansing bar is soap, so take way the 'O' and you have sap. So clean up your act, sap.

9. Remove 'thee' from a sulky expression

Answer: Cooking utensil

Pout - U = Pot

'Thee' is an archaic form of you (U). So cheer yourself up and put the kettle on. The pot needs filling.

10. Remove the 'organ of sight' from a money disc

Answer: Scam

Coin - I = Con

The organ of sight is an eye (I). I got conned of my coins when I wasn't paying attention. What do they say about fools and their money?
