Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Fortunately it's a nice spring morning so I start with some gardening. I'm cutting back my roses to make them stronger and more productive. What is the technical name for this?
2. Unfortunately rain has driven me indoors. Still, the newspaper has arrived so I can read that. I turn to my favourite page to see if Mystic Meg predicts things are going to improve for me. What am I reading?
3. Oh dear, a lot of the day still left. The sun is back out so I take the dog for a nice long walk. We follow a system of paths that are meant for horses and riders, although walkers use them as well. What are these called (in the UK)?
4. Back home after a good walk I decide to see what daytime television has to offer. I come across a programme that has two teams of people competing to see who can buy things cheaply at an antique fair and sell them for a profit. Which programme, a firm daytime favourite since it started in 2000, am I watching?
5. Still only noon. I think I'll do some baking. I've made a cake that is two vanilla sponges, sandwiched together with a filling of jam or jam and cream. What have I made?
6. Early afternoon and I decide to do something I haven't done for ages. I get out a jigsaw puzzle. The first one of these was created by John Spilsbury. What was his occupation?
7. Time to read a book, I think. As I am a quick reader I need either a very long book or several books to keep me occupied. Fortunately I have a science fiction series that details the adventures of people who find a way to go six million years into our past, only to find a race of torc-wearing aliens already in residence. Who wrote this series?
8. I want some music to listen to while I read. Rooting through the CDs I find a series of oldies. This series of CDs spawned a popular jukebox musical produced by Bill Kenwright. What is the name of both the CD series and the musical?
9. Early evening and I still need something to pass the time. I am reminded that there is a pile of sewing I've been putting off. The first thing I pick up is a pair of socks with holes in the heels. What fungi-sounding device would be handy to put in the socks to help me darn them?
10. Well, my quizless day is drawing to an end. I decide to relax in a nice warm bath before bed. I put something nice and smelly and foaming in it. What have I used?
