Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In today's modern world, it is hard to keep your health and well-being first and foremost in your activities and priorities. Working out regularly is one way to stay healthy. When we were in school, they used to call this ten-letter word for a particular exercise "sit-ups." I neglected to mention that this word also refers to the muscle group that you work on when doing sit-ups...

Answer: ABDOMINALS

There are six muscles in the group called abdominals, or abs, which may be why when you have a sculpted torso they talk about having a six-pack!

2. After doing a bunch of sit-ups, you might be hungry. Good nutrition is an important part of any health program. Fish provides a high-protein meal that can help you build up your muscles. This nine-letter word formed from the letters in the prior answer refers to a family of edible fishes. I neglected to mention that the fish in this group are famous for swimming upstream to spawn...

Answer: SALMONIDA

Members of the Salmonida group spawn in fresh water, though most spend the bulk of their life in the salt-water of the sea and return to rivers solely to reproduce. Personally, I love salmon prepared in any way, smoked, broiled, poached, picked or raw (in sushi).

3. It's important to feed one's mind and soul, and not just the body. Music is one way to do that. This eight-letter word formed from the letters of the prior answer refers to an old-fashioned wooden instrument. I neglected to mention that these stringed-instruments were most popular in ancient times...

Answer: MANDOLAS

The Mandola is the ancestor of the mandolin. Today it is used in folk music and traditional Irish music.

4. To keep healthy, it is important to eat nutritious snacks between meals. This seven-letter word formed from the letters in the prior answer is a kind of nut that makes a great snack and can help you avoid eating junk food. I neglected to mention that sometimes people use this word to talk about the shape of someone's eyes...

Answer: ALMONDS

Almonds are available year round and can be used in salty and sweet dishes, in addition to being eaten on their own. They are a good source of anti-oxidants and can even lower cholesterol.

5. Regular exercise as a way of life is the key to health, and walking is a good form of exercise that you can do from childhood until you're a senior. This six-letter word formed from the letters of the prior answer refers to a group that never settles in a single place, but moves from one place to another. I neglected to mention that though these groups often travel on foot, they are also known to ride camels, horses or other animals as well...

Answer: NOMADS

Nomadic people are often classified into three groups: hunter-gatherers, pastoral nomads and peripatetic nomads. Hunter-gatherers follow their food sources to different areas depending on the season of the year. Pastoral nomads keep animals with them in herds as they go from place to place. Peripatetic nomads normally go from one established settlement to another, offering goods and services to the sedentary residents of cities and towns.

6. Another way to stay healthy is to do a job that requires physical exercise. This five-letter word formed from the letters of the prior answer is a synonym for a brick-layer. I neglected to mention that it is also the name of a member of a secret society that has been persecuted at times over the years...

Answer: MASON

The original Freemasons, called Masons for short, were all once bricklayers by trade. The secret society, which arose in the late 16th century, soon drew people from every trade and profession who sought to find the esoteric and spiritual meaning of life outside the confines of established religion. There are over six million Masons all over the world today.

Answer: SOMA

Interestingly enough, there is actually a prescription drug called "Soma" on the market today. It is a muscle relaxant used to treat injuries and pain. I wonder if the manufacturers haven't read Huxley or if they're just betting that their target market hasn't.

8. Meditation is another way to exercise your mind and body. People usually use a mantra when they meditate, a word that is repeated to help concentrate and clear the mind. This three-letter word formed from the letters in the prior answer is what one might hear in a room full of people meditating who share a common mantra. I neglected to mention that this word is also considered to be a sacred syllable in the Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh traditions...

Answer: OMS

"Om" is pronounced with a long nasal vowel. It is a sacred incantation used at the beginning and end of prayers or meditation.

If given double duty, as in the expression "so-so", it means "not great." SO is also the abbreviation and Stock Symbol of Southern Company.
