Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The last three letters of an answer become the first three letters of the following answer. Eg: ApPLE, PLEntiFUL, FULsome. Take note of the number of letters required for each answer. First word: Beginning with 'S', to be hypnotised or mesmerised is to be what?

Answer: Spellbound

Hypnotised, mesmerised, fascinated, enchanted or otherwise held enthralled is to be spellbound. (A ten-letter word beginning with 'S'). Or it could be a 1945 Hitchcock film.

2. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, weather-wise, what position are you in if you are unwell?

Answer: Under

The last word was 'Spellbound', so this word must begin with 'UND'.

Under means to be beneath or below something, so according to the saying, if you are feeling ill, you are 'under the weather'.

3. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what word is synonymous with taunts, teases or lampoons?

Answer: Derides

The last word was 'Under', so this word must begin with 'DER'.

Not commonly used in everyday speech anymore, to deride means to poke fun at, usually in an unfriendly manner.

4. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, who is a cruel dictator or tyrant?

Answer: Despot

The last word was 'Derides', so this word must begin with 'DES'.

A dictator is an autocrat who has absolute power over a country, but can be used to describe anyone in charge of a group who rules with a iron fist. A dictator who is also cruel and oppressive is termed a despot.

5. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, name one of Richie Cunningham's friends from television's 'Happy Days'.

Answer: Potsie

The last word was 'Despot', so this word must begin with 'POT'.

Warren 'Potsie' Webber and Ralph Malph were Richie Cunningham's best friends in 'Happy Days' (1974-1984). Not forgetting Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli who became a friend and mentor (of sorts) to Richie.

6. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is an afternoon nap?

Answer: Siesta

The last word was 'Potsie', so this word must begin with 'SIE'.

Siesta is the Spanish word for nap. In some countries where the weather is particularly warm, during the warmest part of the day (after lunch), a nap is allowed to be taken. This time of downing tools is called a siesta.

7. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, to procrastinate is to what for time?

Answer: Stall

The last word was 'Siesta', so this word must begin with 'STA'.

To stall for time means to delay, defer or hold off doing something because you don't want to do that something, or to allow time for something else to happen first. If an engine stalls, it has temporarily conked out.

8. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, name a prehistoric looking reptile.

Answer: Alligator

The last word was 'Stall', so this word must begin with 'ALL'.

To a lay person, particularly one cornered by an alligator and threatened by its sharp teeth, an alligator and a crocodile look the same and the outcome would generally be the same as well. In actual fact the alligator is slightly smaller and has a shorter, broader snout than a crocodile. Of course, if you ever come face-to-face with an alligator, say 'see you later alligator' and run for your life.

9. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a heavy downpour or sudden deluge?

Answer: Torrent

The last word was 'Alligator', so this word must begin with 'TOR'.

When referring to rain, the adjectival form is generally used: 'torrential' rain, but as a noun it is a 'torrent' of rain. A torrent may also refer to a rapid gush of water, usually from a flood or pipe/dam burst.

10. Final word with something in common with the first word. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, to charm someone or bewitch them is to what them?

Answer: Entrance

The last word was 'Torrent', so this word must begin with 'ENT'.

To entrance is to beguile or hold spellbound. Not to be confused with the heteronym which means a way in.

You could also enthrall them.
