Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The example given for the first Amazing Postal CODE "Inside Edition" was a prefix, one that would work with "medic" or "chute." To those we could add "graph" and "phrase." The answer is PARA, the abbreviation for Arkansas (AR) inside the one for Pennsylvania (PA). The first word to figure out this time is one for a pooch with an undistinguished ancestry.

Answer: MUTT

I've had lots of MUTTs, all good dogs; MUTTs often show hybrid vigor, avoiding some of the conditions that can occur in purebreds. MUTT is Utah (UT) inside Montana (MT).

2. This is clement weather or Clark Kent's manners.

Answer: MILD

You may have to be, shall we say, mature to remember the mild mannered newspaperman who often used telephone booths to turn into Superman.
MILD is Illinois (IL) inside Maryland (MD).

3. The placement of this relative to the horse is important.

Answer: CART

"Putting the CART before the horse" is considered doing things backwards.
CART is Arkansas (AR) inside Connecticut (CT).

4. Be a little cautious or suspicious this time.

Answer: WARY

WARY is Arkansas (AR) again, this time inside Wyoming (WY).

5. This kind of twisty word is the trademarked six-point fastener system used as an alternative to Phillips and Allen screws. For the less mechanically inclined player, the state nicknames (one for the first time) are Lone Star and Beaver.

Answer: TORX

TORX head screws avoid the slippage (or "cam-out") that characterizes Phillips head screws. TORX is Oregon (OR) inside Texas (TX), the only time this state has been used in the 230 words so far in the Postal CODE series.

6. Deimos and Phobos revolve around this.

Answer: MARS

Our close and very similar cosmic companion, MARS, has two moons, as well as several Earthman-made satellites and surface Rovers. MARS is Arkansas (AR) inside Mississippi (MS).

7. Perhaps not vital, but a very useful remote function.

Answer: MUTE

I made switches wired into television speaker circuits for several friends and family members back in the 1950's, a measure of how long I have disliked commercials. Now that would have been a nice patent! MUTE is Utah (UT) inside Maine (ME).

8. Where in tarnation can you find this little mountain lake?

Answer: TARN

What confusion: a word more common in England combined with the US Postal CODE! TARNs are often formed by glacial morraines.
Did you know that "tarnation" is a euphemism for hell?
TARN is useful Arkansas (AR) again, this time inside Tennessee (TN).

9. This is to top off or to sate.

Answer: FILL

FILL is Illinois (IL) inside Florida (FL).

10. Finally, from a David Lean movie classic, a woman's name, Yuri's love.

Answer: LARA

Julie Christie played Lara Antipova, with Omar Sharif as Yuri in "Doctor Zhivago."
The wonderful, and perhaps universally recognizible, theme from "Doctor Zhivago" is also known as "Lara's Theme" and "Somewhere My Love." It was composed by Maurice Jarre and is heard in many variations throughout the movie.
LARA is Arkansas (AR) inside Louisiana (LA).
