Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The concept here is straightforward: The US Postal Service has fifty two-letter abbreviations for the states. The words asked for are simply 2, 4 or 6 letters each, combining the abbreviations (I've run out of 8's and 10's; see earlier quizzes if you want to try them). The clue for the first word is: Red with red meat, white with fish or fowl?
2. A Tibetan monk
3. Satisfied your debts.
4. This common and verstile word was harder to make a clue for than I expected. I'll just tell you it can make different meanings by preceding: to, about, down, upon, between, forth and after, as well as to grief, of age and to nothing. The correct answer is the present tense, not the past tense.
5. My thesauri say this word can mean broad, ample, vast or spacious, among other things.
6. Be willing (to play, perhaps)
7. A mathematical term meaning to have only magnitude, whereas a vector has both magnitude and direction. It is also a word that shows up at the top of every quiz I write, no matter what the subject.
8. A hydrocarbon of the methane series
9. 17th century French philosopher and mathematician with the unusual first name of Blaise; he has a law, a theorem and a triangle named for him.
10. As the words that fit in these quizzes get harder to find (and to come up with clues for) I get to feeling a little this way, a word that means wide-eyed confusion or goofiness. I hope playing them doesn't make you the same way.
