Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the "K" marsupial of Australia that lives in eucalyptus trees and eats the leaves?

Answer: Koala

Koalas are marsupials found in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia in the country of Australia. A marsupial is an animal that typically gives birth to, and carries its young in pouches. Koalas are grey or brown, and are usually 60-85 cm (24-33 in) tall and weigh 4-15 kg (9-33 lb). Koalas are herbivores, living off of the eucalyptus trees that grow in their home ranges.

The koalas often called a "koala bear", but this is a misnomer. The koala is not related to any species of bear.

Its closest relative is the wombat. The koala is listed as a species at risk of extinction in some areas due to threats caused by climate change and urbanization. Kangaroo is another "K" marsupial, but kangaroos don't live in eucalyptus trees, so that was an incorrect answer in this case.
2. What is the the "K" flightless bird of New Zealand that has a long flexible bill?

Answer: Kiwi

There are five species of kiwi in New Zealand. All are flightless with hair-like feathers. They are currently species of concern in New Zealand, with all five species either vulnerable or near-threatened. Traditionally, a threat to these chicken-sized birds was habitat loss, but invasive predators are now more of a threat as the country has moved to protect its traditional habitats.

A kiwi's egg is the largest in proportion of the female's body weight of all birds at 20% of the body weight. Kiwi form monogamous pairs for their entire lives.

They also have nostrils at the ends of their long pointed beaks that help them to detect the smell of both food and predators. This is an unusual anatomical feature of these birds that seems to have helped them develop an outstanding and efficient olfactory system.
3. What is the "K" long structure running from front to back under a boat, upon which the ship is built?

Answer: Keel

In this context, the word keel is used as a noun. The keel forms the stabilizing structure that runs from front to back on the middle of the underside of boats. In some cases, the keel is extended down in a blade-like ridge in order to act as a stabilizer for the ship. Keel can also be a verb if used to mean capsized or flipped on its side. E.g., The boat will not keel over unless strong winds are present.
4. What is the "K" surname of the American comic silent-film actor who starred in the film, "The General" (1926)?

Answer: Keaton

Buster Keaton was an American silent film star who was first active from 1920-29. He acted and directed in a number of comedy films during that time. "The General" (1926) is regarded by many as the best film made during the silent era. Keaton was acting and directing independently during this time, but signed with a movie studio in 1928 at which point he lost his creative independence.

His career slid, he became an alcoholic, and his wife left him. He recovered, and remarried, and went on to more roles in movies and on television from the 1940s on. Buster Keaton died of lung cancer at the age of 70 on February 1, 1966.
5. What is the world's second highest peak ,sometimes also known as Mount Godwin-Austen?

Answer: K2

K2 is 8,611 metres (28,251 ft) high, the second-highest mountain in the world after Mount Everest. K2 is found in the the Karakoram range in Pakistan. When explorers were initially surveying the mountains, they gave each an identifier with "K" (for the name of the mountain range), then a number in the order that the mountains were surveyed.

The Great Trigonometrical Survey of British India was completing the survey. Their rules for naming the mountains was to use a local name when possible. K2 was quite remote, so it did not have a local name.

The name Mount Godwin-Austen (or Mount Godwin Austen) was suggested because there was no local name. This was to honour Henry Godwin-Austen, an early explorer. However, the Royal Geographical Society rejected the name.

Despite this, it it was used on several early maps, so the name is still occasionally used well into the 21st century.
6. What is the "K" surname of the American film actress who retired from the screen after marrying Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956?

Answer: Kelly

Grace Patricia Kelly was born in Philadelphia on November 12, 1929. After she graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1949, she went on to appear in a number of live television shows and in theatrical works in New York City. She received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Mogambo" (1953).

She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in "The Country Girl" (1954). She also starred or co-starred in other movies, including three that were directed by Alfred Hitchcock - "Dial M for Murder" (1954), "Rear Window" (1954), and "To Catch a Thief" (1955).

She retired from acting at the age of 26 to marry Prince Rainier III of Monaco in April 1956. Princess Grace died on September 13, 1982 after a severe traffic accident.
7. What is the "K" television programme about the crime fighting adventures of a rebuilt ex-policeman, named Michael Knight, and his talking automobile KITT?

Answer: Knight Rider

"Knight Rider" originally aired on the American network NBC from 1982 to 1986. David Hasselhoff starred as a special operations police officer who drives a car named "KITT" ("Knight Industries Two Thousand"). He had been shot in the face, but received extensive plastic surgery and a new name when that happened.

The car was computer equipped and controlled by artificial intelligence, rather ground-breaking at the time that the show aired. The car is actually a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that had been modified for all of the crime fighting in which the duo got tangled during each episode.
8. The Greek-American Telly Savalas took on the television role as which "K" lollipop-loving New York homicide cop?

Answer: Kojak

The police drama "Kojak" ran for 118 episodes over five seasons from 1973 to 1978. It starred Savalas in the title role as a New York City police detective with a penchant for lollipops. Kojak's Greek-American heritage was featured in the show. Savalas also has a Greek-American background.

After the Surgeon General of the United States warned of the dangers of smoking in 1964, people around the country became aware of the ill-effects of smoking cigarettes. Savalas, who was a smoker, used lollipops to try to lessen his reliance on cigarettes.

He brought this same behaviour to the tapings of the shows. After the show was cancelled, Savalas starred in two "Kojak" television movies. These included "Kojak: The Belarus File" (1985) and "Kojak: The Price of Justice" (1987).

Theo Kojak was ranked number 18 on "TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list".
9. What is the "K" yarn craft that involves at least two needles?

Answer: Knitting

Knitting is used to create textiles using yarn and at least two needles. Items that are flat, such as a scarf or a dishcloth can be knit with two needles. Items that are circular such as a sock or a hat can be knit with four or five needles. There are also knitting techniques that use two needles that are joined by a nylon cord to form a circle or a long needle for a larger project like a blanket.

There are two main stitches in knitting, the knit stitch and the purl stitch. These are combined in a variety of patterns to produce sweaters, hats, mittens, scarves, tablecloths, shawls, and many more decorative home decor and clothing items.
10. What is a "K" word for a room in a house?

Answer: Kitchen

A kitchen is the room in a house that contains cooking appliances like a fridge, stove, and microwave oven. Many people have a table with chairs or counter with stools to allow sitting to eat, or to spend time together while the cook works on the meal.

There is usually a sink for cleaning counters, dishes, pots and pans, and for rinsing fruits and vegetables before use. Many people place coffee makers or tea kettles in the kitchen. This means that for many, their day begins in the kitchen with the preparation of breakfast and their first cup of breakfast beverage like coffee or tea.
