Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How to play: The last three letters of each answer become the first three letters of the next answer. Eg: ApPLE, PLEntiFUL, FULcrum. If you get stuck on an answer, it may be possible to skip forward then work your way back. If there is more than one possible answer to a question, make sure it fits with the number count given in the hints. All answers are single words. The first and last answers share a common link. Good luck! First word: Which cheese is well known for its red wax coating?

Answer: Edam

Edam is a hard cheese, named after the town of Edam in the Netherlands. The cheese is normally made into a round cylindrical shape and coated with red paraffin wax.

2. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is an honorary title given to an English woman awarded the rank of Knight Commander?

Answer: Dame

Last word was 'Edam', so this word must begin with 'DAM'.

A British woman or one from the Commonwealth who is awarded the rank of Knight Commander or Grand Cross is entitled to have the title of Dame. Despite the name, the Knight Commander is part of the British order of chivalry, and is awarded for services to areas such as the arts, public service or charitable works. Dame Julie Andrews was awarded her DBE in the 2000 honours list.

A 'dame' may also be a term for a mature woman, and in many cases is used in a derogatory way.

3. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what nationality is someone who was born in the "50 states country"?

Answer: American

Last word was 'Dame', so this word must begin with 'AME'.

The country of 50 states is the United States of America, often just called America. Therefore, someone born in or naturalised to America is American. It is also an adjective to describe anything or anyone pertaining to that country.

4. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a type of walking stick or a striped Christmas candy?

Answer: Cane

The last word was 'American', so this word must begin with 'CAN'.

Cane is a type of woody grass, related to bamboo. Its use can be applied from basket weaving to furniture making. Despite its name, it is not scientifically related to sugar cane.

5. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a word meaning to begin something again?

Answer: Anew

The last word was 'Cane', so this word must begin with 'ANE'.

The word has its origins in Old English and is rarely used in modern speech, but can still be found in literature. The synonym of anew is 'again', but 'over again' or 'do over' is more commonly used.

6. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a broadsheet or tabloid that is normally printed daily?

Answer: Newspaper

The last word was 'Anew', so this word must begin with 'NEW'.

A newspaper is a widely circulated information broadsheet conveying the latest news, politics and sports. Advertisements account for most of the cost of the production of the daily papers with the actual cost for purchase remaining fairly nominal.

The earliest account of a hand written news sheet was in Rome in 59BC, followed shortly after by China. These sheets reported politics, military matter, trials and hangings. The earliest newspaper similar to the modern format was in Venice in the 16th century and they were published weekly but this was time-consuming as they were all hand written. When Johannes Gutenberg invented the letter press in the 15th century, books, gossip and stories circulated more freely, but it wasn't until Germany in 1605 that the first 'modern', printed newspaper began.

7. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a synonym for scented?

Answer: Perfumed

The last word was 'Newspaper', so this word must begin with 'PER'.

Something that is perfumed has a nice scent that may be natural or added by a manufactured fragrance. Perfume is usually made with floral oils that impart their natural scent.

8. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what word indicates that something is barely acceptable or passable?

Answer: Mediocre

The last word was 'Perfumed', so this word must begin with 'MED'.

Mediocre has its origins in the Latin word for middle. Therefore anything average or unremarkable may be described as mediocre.

9. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what name is sometimes used for a children's nursery or child care centre?

Answer: Creche

The last word was 'Mediocre', so this word must begin with 'CRE'.

Creche is an Old French word for crib and may be used to refer to a day nursery or child care centre.

10. Final word with something in common with the first word. Beginning with the last three letters of the previous answer, what is a type of popular cheese that originated in Somerset?

Answer: Cheddar

The last answer was 'Creche', so this word must begin with 'CHE'.

Cheddar is a hard cheese that may be off-white or orange in colour and takes its name from the town of Cheddar in Somerset. It is the most popular cheese in the UK and the second most popular in the United States.
