Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I have used 60 words so far in this series of quizzes and have been quite surprised at which ones have turned out to be difficult and which not. I would like this quiz to turn out to be of average difficulty, so put on your thinking caps.
The first answer is a word meaning a contract or a treaty; it sounds crowded or ready for a trip.
2. The next two make a pair. The first means a chef and what he or she does.
3. The second is what the chef prepares.
4. Let's try a few famous people. First name on the moon? Make sure you use the more northerly possibility.
5. Oprah Winfrey's windy sounding middle name or Basketball Hall of Famer Goodrich.
6. "Baywatch" and movie actress Anderson
7. The next word is about as ARCANE as they come. It is a pure asphalt found on Trinidad, also known as "glance pitch." It is the only word I have found using the abbreviation for this garden state.
8. The next two words are sort of opposites. The first one means dry, usually used to describe a geographical area such as a desert; also a long-time personal care product.
9. For the second word, you need to think an adjective for moisture in the morning or in the eyes.
10. As I have noted before, ten-letter words that fill the bill are hard to find.
This one is: "1. the bitter, aromatic bark of a West Indian euphorbiaceous shrub (Croton eluteria) used as a tonic; 2. the shrub itself." (The Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged, 1966, though you don't need a dictionary to figure it out)
