Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: International Orange

Under various lighting conditions the color appears to change from bright yellow-orange to deep scarlet. The bridge is continually maintained by a staff of over three dozen painters.
The name 'Golden Gate' actually refers to the opening of San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean and has nothing to do with the color of the bridge.

2. Which one of the following seas does NOT exist?

Answer: Green

The Yellow Sea is west of Korea, the White Sea is in northwest Russia, and the Red Sea lies amidst Egypt, Sudan and Saudi Arabia. There's no 'Green Sea', but there is still one more color represented in the colored sea group -- the Black Sea.

3. Which of the following states in the USA does NOT have its name derived from a color?

Answer: Hawaii

Hawaii means "homeland" or possibly "place of the gods."
The others all have direct roots in colors.
Colorado is of Spanish origin and means red or reddish.
Vermont is a combination of "vert" and "mont" from the French meaning green and mountain, respectively.
Lastly, Rhode Island comes from the Dutch "roodt eylandt" meaning red island, in reference to the red clay on Aquidneck Island.

Answer: cornflower

Cornflower is blue, while the others are all in the purple family.
The scientific name for the cornflower is Centaurea cyanus and it is also called the Bluebottle or Cyani flower.

Answer: Granny Smith

Maria Ann Smith is credited with planting the first seedling which went on to become named after her. The apples originated from Australia in the late 1860s and have become popular all over the world. Famously, the Beatles used a Granny Smith apple as the symbol for Apple Records.

Answer: Libya

Green is Libya's national color and it is the traditional color of Islam, the state religion of Libya.
Prior to 1977 the Libyan flag consisted predominately of red, white and black horizontal stripes. After Gaddafi was ousted, a striped flag was once again adopted.

Answer: Sardonyx

Sardonyx is a special type of onyx, which is itself a type of quartz. Sardonyx typically has bands of orange red or brownish red instead of the black associated with onyx. Interestingly, it is the amount of iron in both jade and peridot that affect the final shade of green, whereas in emerald it is the amount of chromium.

Answer: blue

A genetic protein defect causes the color change. A few other types of color mutations have been recorded including yellow and white. The odds for yellow is 1 in 30 million and for white it is an astounding 1 in 100 million.

Answer: brown and orange

The brown, yellow and green M&Ms have been the only ones produced continuously since 1941, when M&Ms were introduced. Purple was discontinued by the late 1940s (replaced by tan) and red was stopped temporarily in the 1970s due to a cancer scare.
Skittles didn't come onto the market until 1974 and Original Fruit Skittles have never changed colors. Skittles now come in over a dozen different product offerings including Double Sour, Tropical and Skittles Sensations.

Answer: Indiana

Indiana is one of a handful of states that have an Orange County. Other states include California, Florida, Virginia and North Carolina. Although the county in Florida is named after the fruit, the others all are a tribute to William of Orange, who reigned as King William III over England and Ireland beginning in 1689.
