Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The branching underground moisture absorbing stem of all nefarious viciousness, is currency.

Answer: Money is the root of all evil.

Money is the root of all evil means that most or all wrongdoing can be traced to the acquisition of money or profit. The saying is derived from 1 Timothy 6:10 (King James Bible) as follows: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
2. A substandard craftsperson holds the implements used in his craft accountable.

Answer: A bad workman blames his tools.

The saying "A bad workman blames his tools" is pretty much self-explanatory in that a poor workman, instead of blaming himself for his lack of skills, would rather blame the poor quality of the tools he uses.
3. A time indicating device worn on the wrist that has ceased to function is still chronologically correct twice in a twenty-four hour period.

Answer: A broken watch is right two times a day.

A broken watch is right two times a day is a saying used by people who are undeservedly lucky or successful. Basically, you are bound to be right in one out of twelve guesses.
4. A cord made of individual interlocking rings is as unyielding as its most feeble interlocking ring.

Answer: A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link means that as a team no matter how good or strong each member is, the team is only as strong as the weakest player on that team.
5. Any solid, hinged entry partition can be unlocked by using a small toothed auriferous unlocking implement.

Answer: A golden key can open any door.

A golden key can open any door means that if you have enough money, you can acquire or accomplish anything.
6. A failure to hit a mark by one twelfth of a foot is the same as a failure to hit a mark by 5280 feet.

Answer: A miss by an inch is a miss by a mile.

A miss by an inch is a miss by a mile is a saying that simply means if you miss your mark by no matter how much, it's still a miss. As another saying goes: Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
7. Every feline's color is the color made by the blending of black and white, providing that said felines are in an area that is not well lit.

Answer: All cats are grey in the dark.

All cats are grey in the dark means that appearances don't mean anything as soon as the lights go out. Everything looks the same in the dark.
8. Before fulminating against an adult male, one should tread for a distance of 1760 yards in the same protective foot coverings belonging to said adult male.

Answer: Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes.

Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes means that a person needs to experience the same things good and bad in a person's life to have any idea what that person has been through. It is easy to criticize someone or put in your two cents worth when you haven't experienced the hardships of another.
9. Adolescent humans, along with buffoons, do not tell falsehoods.

Answer: Children and fools speak the truth.

Children and fools speak the truth means that children are too young to have learned that lying can have advantages, and fools are too dumb to realize it also, so they both rely on truth.
10. The end of life happens to be the panacea for every affliction.

Answer: Death is a remedy for all ills.

Death is a remedy for all ills simply means that when you die, all your problems and troubles become non-existent.
