Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Chomp down on the explosive cartridge.

Answer: Bite the bullet

'Bite the bullet' means that it is better get something unpleasant over with now rather than wait because you know you'll have to deal with it eventually.
2. Everything that has a lustrous glow isn't the metallic element with the symbol Au.

Answer: All that glitters is not gold.

'All that glitters is not gold' means just because something looks to be precious or appealing on the outside, doesn't mean that it actually is.
3. Arriving after the designated time has a greater value than failing to arrive at all.

Answer: Better late than never.

'Better late than never' means that it is better to be late for something that is of importance and to fulfill an obligation rather than to not fulfill it at all.
4. Refrain from blending merchandising with self-indulgence.

Answer: Don't mix business with pleasure.

'Don't mix business with pleasure' means that dating people or becoming close friends with people in the work place can put you in a compromised position, especially if you are in a position of authority.
5. The ones who locate retain, while the ones who misplace are the ones who sob out loud.

Answer: Finders keepers, losers weepers.

'Finders keepers, losers weepers' is a children's saying that means something found belongs to the finder regardless of who it used to belong to. It kind of goes along with the saying 'possession is nine tenths of the law'.
6. If victory is unattainable, you should intermix with the victors.

Answer: If you can't beat them, join them.

'If you can't beat them, join them' means that it is better to go along with the ones that you disagree with rather than to continue fighting a battle that you have no chance of winning.
7. Speaking happens to be inexpensive.

Answer: Talk is cheap.

'Talk is cheap' means that it is very easy to talk about what you are going to do but a very different thing to have the guts to actually do it.
8. A man delaying action is one who knows not where he is.

Answer: He who hesitates is lost.

'He who hesitates is lost' means that if you fail to take quick, decisive action on something, you could miss out on a good opportunity or risk failure.
9. Whatever docking facility available during very nasty weather.

Answer: Any port in a storm.

'Any port in a storm' means that when the going gets tough, it's better to find any kind of relief from the situation than to carry on and risk total failure.
10. Being victorious in every circumstance is an unattainable goal.

Answer: You can't win them all.

'You can't win them all' means that a person must be able to accept failure when trying to win or be successful. 100% success in everything you try is usually never achieved.
