Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Taking an ovine and adding a role in a play can give you which defensive protection at the top of a wall?

Answer: Rampart

RAM + PART = RAMPART. A part in a play or film is called a role. Part can also mean a segment of something, which needs to be combined with others to make a whole. A rampart is a type of parapet built to add extra protection to a wall, often in a castle or fortified mansion house.

2. Taking an ovine and adding an old fashioned woman's name (or a computer language) will give you which Latin American dance?

Answer: Lambada

LAMB + ADA = LAMBADA. Among well known women called Ada is Ada Lovelace, who is sometimes referred to as the first computer programmer for her work with Charles Babbage. The computer language was named after her. The Lambada originated in Brazil and incorporates parts of other dances such as the samba and merengue.

3. Taking an ovine and adding what you do when you gasp for breath will give you which word meaning 'spreading unchecked'?

Answer: Rampant

RAM + PANT = RAMPANT. Pant means to breathe quickly and spasmodically, and is also what animals do to cool down. Rampant means to occur without restraint, as in 'the weeds grew rampantly'. In heraldry, it is used to describe a lion standing on its hind legs with its front legs raised - the 'lion rampant'.

4. Taking an ovine and adding a word that sounds like a landlocked state in southern Asia will give you the name of which red fruit?

Answer: Rambutan

RAM + BUTAN (sounds like BHUTAN) = RAMBUTAN. The kingdom of Bhutan is situated in the Himalayas. The rambutan is the name of both a tree and the fruit it produces. The tree grows in south eastern Asia, in Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka as well as other countries.

5. Taking an ovine and adding the Russian word for 'yes' produces which Greek letter?

Answer: Lambda

LAMB + DA = LAMBDA. Other Russian words are 'net', sometimes shown as 'niet', for 'no' and 'spasiba', or 'spaseebo', for 'thank you'. Lambda is the eleventh letter in the Greek alphabet, and corresponds to the English letter 'L'.

6. Taking an ovine and adding a word describing flashy jewellery will give you which word meaning 'wandering' or 'hiking'?

Answer: Rambling

RAM + BLING = RAMBLING. The word 'bling' has passed into common usage from hip hop culture to describe an ostentatious form of jewellery and accessories. Rambling can be used to describe plants which climb, such as rambling roses, or walking for pleasure. It can also be applied to someone who takes a long time to put across their views when speaking, instead of coming to the point.

7. Taking an ovine and adding a tree like being from Tolkien's Middle Earth will produce which word, meaning 'flickering like a flame'?

Answer: Lambent

LAMB + ENT = LAMBENT. The ents appeared in 'The Lord of the Rings' with Treebeard being the best known of them. The word was adapted by Tolkien from the Anglo-Saxon, and means 'giant'. I could also have used the abbreviation of ENT meaning 'Ear, Nose and Throat'. Lambent means to 'run lightly over a surface' as in a flame and can also be used to describe a witty way of speaking.

8. Taking an ovine and adding a boy attendant will produce which word meaning 'to rush about wildly'?

Answer: Rampage

RAM + PAGE = RAMPAGE. Page boy can be used to describe a young male attendant at a wedding, and can also be a hairstyle. A page was also the young assistant to a knight. A page can also be part of a book. To rampage is to 'run amok' and be out of control. It can be defined as 'violent, frenzied behaviour'.

9. Taking an ovine and adding the French word for a shark will give you which word for a drapery hung over a door, or a scarf covering a knight's helmet?

Answer: Lambrequin

LAMB + REQUIN = LAMBREQUIN. Some sources have the requin as being the great white shark, and others as the sand shark, but it seems to translate just as 'shark'. The name was given to a US submarine, the USS Requin, built in 1944. A lambrequin can be either the ornamental scarf worn by a knight or a short drapery hanging over a door, window or shelf.

10. Taking an ovine and adding a metal chain will give you which word meaning run-down or rickety?

Answer: Ramshackle

RAM + SHACKLE = RAMSHACKLE. A shackle is a chain which joins wrist or ankle fetters. Ramshackle is used to describe something which has fallen into disrepair.
