Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My first will allow access and my second is found on a computer. Pass _____ processor

Answer: word

Password; word processor.

Stronger passwords usually include both numeric and alphabetic characters, along with symbols. However, it is increasingly recommended folk use a 'pass phrase' in which a series of hard-to-guess words are strung together.

2. My first is a yummy light roll and my second is a bridge on a freeway. Pop ____ pass

Answer: over

Popover; overpass

Popovers are made from a batter very similar to Yorkshire pudding batter, but the moulds used for cooking them are traditionally straight-sided. Often served as an accompaniment to soup, they can also be eaten hot from the oven with plain or herbed butter. Yum!

3. My first opens all doors, while my second just peeks through them. Pass _____ hole

Answer: key

Passkey; keyhole

A keyhole is, of course, an aperture to receive a key; often keyhole surgery is performed to minimise the trauma of surgery by creating only a keyhole-sized incision. This is also called laparoscopic or band-aid surgery.

4. My first overlooks Cape Town while my second finds a way through the hills. Table ____ pass

Answer: mountain

Table Mountain; mountain pass

The Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, reaches 1,086m above sea level and is one of Cape Town's premier tourist attractions. It can be scaled by taking a cable car, and once at the top, breathtaking views of the city are obtained. The 'Ariel Cableway' was first commissioned in 1929.

5. Take my first when travelling and my second after dinner. Pass _____ wine

Answer: port

Passport; port wine

Port wine, often just called 'port', is a fortified wine with its origins in the Douro Valley in Portugal. A little brandy was added to the still wine in order to successfully transport it to England, stopping the fermentation process. This meant that residual sugar was greater and a sweet, fruity wine was born.

6. My first is a game created at an English school; my second finds a quicker way around. Rug ____ pass

Answer: by

Rugby; bypass

The development of the game of rugby was an evolutionary process, but it was at the Rugby School that the ball was first held in a player's arms while running in the early 1800s. The formation of a 'rugby union' in the late 1800s led to the formalisation of the rules.

7. My first finds itself on the floor while my second is an atrocious act. Pass _____ rage

Answer: out

Pass out; outrage

Pass out has a number of meanings - the one described above refers to loss of consciousness, but it can also mean to hand something out (like leaflets), or to be given a token (often a stamp or similar) that will allow someone to leave a venue and return at a later time.

8. My first is a nickname for Australia while my second is a kind of subway, or road below another. Down ____ pass

Answer: under

Down under; underpass

Australia has become known colloquially as the 'land down under' as it is a large continent entirely within the southern hemisphere. A catchy popular song named 'Down Under' by Australian band Men at Work was released in 1981 on their 'Business as Usual' album.

9. My first is the plural of the number the class must achieve so they don't fail and my second is a really good shot! Pass _____ man

Answer: marks

Pass marks; marksman

A marksman is one skilled in precision shooting, most commonly with a scoped rifle, but other weapons can be used. In former times, an expert with a bow and arrow was also considered a marksman.

10. My first is done with barbells while my second lets reporters through. Bench ____ pass

Answer: press

Benchpress; press pass

A benchpress exercise strengthens the upper body as it involves lifting a barbell from the supine (lying face upwards) position. As upper-body strength increases, greater weight can be added to the barbell.
