Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which country, where the sun shines on its flag, can the 'fire land' city of Ushuaia be found? (Fractured) Ah Djinn Teen Her (Missing Vowels) LGR (Add a Letter) I + 'grooved ring on face of a watch' (Anagram) You can't sentence me, I am not of PRISON AGE in this country Note: Add a letter clues will require jumbling of letters throughout the quiz.

Answer: Ah Djinn Teen Her

The Argentinian city of Ushuaia, a settlement found at the southernmost tip of the South American continent, is in the province of Tierra del Fuego ('land of fire'). The flag of Argentina consists of blue and white stripes with a sun featured right at the centre.

Ah Djinn Teen Her = ARGENTINA
LGR = ALGERIA
I + 'grooved ring on face of a watch' = I + BEZEL = BELIZE
You can't sentence me, I am not of PRISON AGE in this country = SINGAPORE
2. What fruit, with the binomial name 'Citrus x paradisi', is the cross between a sweet orange and a pomelo? (Fractured) Razz Pear He (Missing Letters) GRPFRT (Add a Letter) M + 'untruth; fabrication' (Anagram) I'm really a LEMON in disguise

Answer: GRPFRT

'Citrus x paradisi' is the binomial name given to the grapefruit. As can be seen from this name it is a type of citrus fruit and so shares similar characteristics to fruits such as oranges, limes and lemons.

Razz Pear He = RASPBERRY
GRPFRT = GRAPEFRUIT
M + 'untruth; fabrication' = M + LIE = LIME
I'm really a LEMON in disguise = MELON
3. Which of the following school subjects is split into three broad categories in which Ohm's Law, the periodic table and the human body may all be studied by a pupil? (Fractured) Fizz Hick Hall Head Duke Hay Shun (Missing Vowels) MTHMTCS (Add a Letter) C + '___ and nephews' (Anagram) It is unusual, but I like to use TAR to create my masterpieces

Answer: C + '___ and nephews'

Ohm's Law is one of the very first scientific laws that students are taught as they begin their endeavours in physics; the Law relates voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) such that, in equation form, V = IR. The periodic table would be studied primarily in chemistry, but is of use across the scientific world. The human body is studied mainly in biology but chemistry plays a vital role in understanding many of the processes that take place within the incredible human form.

Fizz Hick Hall Head Duke Hay Shun = PHYSICAL EDUCATION (Gym class)
MTHMTCS = MATHEMATICS
C + '___ and nephews' = C + NIECES = SCIENCE
It is unusual, but I like to use TAR to create my masterpieces = ART
4. Which of the following mythical creatures is associated with China, Bhutan and Wales? (Fractured) Unique Horn (Missing Vowels) MRMD (Add a Letter) D + 'noble gas with atomic number 18' (Anagram) You saw a what? That can't be TRUE CAN it?

Answer: D + 'noble gas with atomic number 18'

Mention the mythical beast that is the dragon and it wouldn't be too long before China enters one's train of thought. Bhutan, a landlocked Asian nation, is known as the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon' and a dragon features on the national flag. A dragon, red in colour, also graces the flag of Wales.

Unique Horn = UNICORN
MRMD = MERMAID
D + 'noble gas with atomic number 18' = D + ARGON = DRAGON
You saw a what? That can't be TRUE CAN it? = CENTAUR
5. Which state in the northwest of the USA, known as the "Gem State", has Boise as its capital city? (Fractured) Eyed Are Hoe (Missing Vowels) NDN (Add a Letter) I + 'Sutton ___, Suffolk, England' (Anagram) I'd move to Bangor only if they like ANIME there!

Answer: Eyed Are Hoe

The "Gem State", Idaho, is bordered by six other US states, namely, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. It also shares a border with Canada's westernmost province, British Columbia. The state capital of Idaho is to be found in Boise, which also happens to be the state's largest city.

Eyed Are Hoe = IDAHO
NDN = INDIANA
I + 'Sutton ___, Suffolk, England' = I + HOO = OHIO
I'd move to Bangor only if they like ANIME there! = MAINE
6. Vanilla, used to flavour ice cream amongst many other things, is obtained from which of the following flowers? (Fractured) Daze He (Missing Vowels) RCHD (Add a Letter) S + 'Fish eggs' (Anagram) That flower from the Netherlands LIT UP my living room!

Answer: RCHD

The orchid family, 'Orchidaceae', is one of the largest families found in the plant kingdom; the number of species of orchid is not known precisely but numbers suggested by academics seem to cluster around the 20,000 to 25,000 mark (a very large number indeed)! Vanilla comes from the vanilla orchid, which has the binomial name 'Vanilla planifolia'.

Daze He = DAISY
RCHD = ORCHID
S + 'Fish eggs' = S + ROE = ROSE
That flower from the Netherlands LIT UP my living room! = TULIP
7. In the hugely successful and timeless board game that is chess, which of the following pieces can ONLY move diagonally? (Fractured) Cue Ian (Missing Vowels) RK (Add a Letter) K + 'opposite of day' (Anagram) Ms Derek, the secret to dancing like we do in the clergy is that it is all in the HIPS BO!

Answer: Ms Derek, the secret to dancing like we do in the clergy is that it is all in the HIPS BO!

The bishop is considered of middling importance in the chess piece relative value system. The piece, which can move any number of spaces along a diagonal but is not able to jump over pieces, is assigned a relative value of three. To put this into perspective, the "least important" piece on the board is the pawn which has a relative value of one (but remember a pawn has the ability to transform into other pieces if it reaches the other side of the board, so can be very tactically important at times). The "most important" piece, with exception of the king, is the queen and it has a relative value of nine. This is the standard system used, though as is the case with most board game systems, there are variations! In this system, the king doesn't get assigned a value as it cannot be captured or traded. One could view this as the king having an undefined relative value or an extremely large relative value.

Cue Ian = QUEEN
RK = ROOK
K + 'opposite of day' = K + NIGHT = KNIGHT
Ms Derek, the secret to dancing like we do in the clergy is that it is all in the HIPS BO! = BISHOP
8. What herbivorous animal has an African species ('Loxodonta africana') and an Asian species ('Elephas maximus')? (Fractured) Craw Core Dial (Missing Vowels) GRFF (Add a Letter) E + 'John Wayne film, 'True ___'' (Anagram) How on earth do we get his trunk on THE PLANE?!

Answer: How on earth do we get his trunk on THE PLANE?!

'Loxodonta africana' is the binomial name for the African elephant whilst 'Elephas maximus' is the binomial name for the Asian elephant. There is some dispute as to whether the all-encompassing African elephant species should be refined to account for differences between the African bush elephants ('Loxodonta africana') and the African forest elephants ('Loxodonta cyclotis'). In other words, some taxonomists believe there to be three key species of elephant rather than two.

Craw Core Dial = CROCODILE
GRFF = GIRAFFE
E + 'John Wayne film, 'True ___'' = E + GRIT = TIGER
How on earth do we get his trunk on THE PLANE?! = ELEPHANT
9. What 1931 film, starring Charlie Chaplin, ended with the memorable scene in which a flower girl (Virginia Cherrill) who has regained her sight realises 'The Tramp' character isn't wealthy like she previously believed? (Fractured) Caw Ledge (Missing Vowels) CTY LGHTS (Add a Letter) T + 'Applied a name incorrectly' (Anagram) How is the train doing? Why, it is doing GREAT HELEN, thanks!

Answer: CTY LGHTS (Two words; 4, 6)

'City Lights' is a beautiful silent film starring Charlie Chaplin and Virginia Cherrill that was originally released in 1931. It is worth keeping in mind that 'The Jazz Singer' and its brief moments of dialogue was unveiled to the American public in 1927, so 'City Lights', albeit an incredible film that is loved to this day, was made using an art form that had essentially died out.

Caw Ledge = 'COLLEGE'
CTY LGHTS = 'CITY LIGHTS'
T + 'Applied a name incorrectly' = T + MISNOMERED = 'MODERN TIMES'
How is the train doing? Why, it is doing GREAT HELEN, thanks! = 'THE GENERAL'
10. What former European country consisted, at one time or another, of the likes of Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia? (Fractured) Yew Gore Slaw Veer (Missing Vowels) ZMBBW (Add a Letter) M + 'reduce light' (Anagram) MEG RYAN is on the line for you Herr Direktor

Answer: Yew Gore Slaw Veer

Yugoslavia was a nation that took many different forms over the course of the 20th century, a fact which reflects the political and social instability that characterised the Balkan peninsula in a world post-WWI. Some of the modern day countries that were once a part of Yugoslavia include Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia (as mentioned in the question) but also states such as Macedonia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Yew Gore Slaw Veer = YUGOSLAVIA
ZMBBW = ZIMBABWE
M + 'reduce light' = M + DARKEN = DENMARK
MEG RYAN is on the line for you Herr Direktor = GERMANY
