Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What trigonometric function can be found in the letters WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

Answer: sine

The sine of an angle in a triangle is the ratio of the side opposite the angle and the hypotenuse (longest side) of the triangle. I learned that in high school but am not sure why, as I have never had to work out the sine of an angle since!
2. An American cattle thief in Western Australia? Heaven forbid! Can you spot the hornswaggling varmint in the letters of WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

Answer: RUSTLER

In Australia a rustler is known as a 'duffer'.
3. A Christmas decoration can be found in the letters of WESTERN AUSTRALIA. What is the word that describes a type of silvery string?

Answer: tinsel

Tinsel was invented in Germany back in the 1600s, and used to be made from real silver! These days tinsel is mainly made from polyvinyl chloride, a type of plastic.
4. This is sometimes found 'blowing in the wind', but you can also find it in WESTERN AUSTRALIA. Robert Zimmerman would get this one right. Can you?

Answer: answer

'How many roads must a man walk down...' is the opening line from Mr Zimmerman's 1963 protest song. He is, of course, better known as Bob Dylan and the song has been covered by Peter, Paul and Mary, Bruce Springsteen, Marianne Faithfull and about fifty thousand other musicians.
5. Can you find a good place to eat in WESTERN AUSTRALIA? We could go Chinese, Australian, seafood, Indian or even silver service!

Answer: restaurant

Fremantle, just south of the state capital, Perth, is home to many fine restaurants. It is quite a historic place and has some great sightseeing. You can even catch a ferry or a helicopter to Rottnest Island, home to the quokka.
6. Margaret River in southern Western Australia is famous for two things- one of these is the world-class surfing. The other can be found in the letters of WESTERN AUSTRALIA; what is it? An oenophile would find this an easy question.

Answer: wine

Margaret River is about 250 km south of Perth and is renowned as one of the best surf beaches in the world. You can even swim with friendly stingrays! The surrounding area is dotted with wineries, art galleries, olive oil plantations and cheese makers.
7. You could go to Greece to find the solution to this question, or you could simply look in the letters of WESTERN AUSTRALIA for the seventh letter of the Greek alphabet. What letter is it?

Answer: ETA

The upper case ETA looks the same as the English capital 'H', while the lower case is like an 'n' with an extended leg. Its sound is like a long 'e', as in 'easy'.
8. What major FunTrivia category can be found in the letters of WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

Answer: LITERATURE

From Richard Adams to Markus Zusak, from 'Harry Potter' to 'Richard III' and from poetry to manga- if you have ever read a book, there is a chance that there is a quiz about it in Literature!
9. Which skin infection, usually associated with a witch's nose, can be found in WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

Answer: WART

Warts are viral infections caused by human papilloma virus (HPV) and can occur anywhere on the body. Many years ago I had a painful plantar wart on the bottom of my heel- the doctor burned it out with a laser. They can also be removed by freezing or by the application of various acidic creams or solutions.
10. Besides the obvious 'west', which cardinal direction can be found in WESTERN AUSTRALIA?

Answer: east

Perth is quite a long way from the east of Australia, with not much besides desert in between. For instance, to drive from Perth to Sydney would take about 48 hours non-stop. It is more than 4,000 kilometres; Perth to Cairns in far north Queensland is almost 6,000 kms. Even Adelaide, which is the nearest capital city, is over 2,700 kms away.
