Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Gymnasium" is a Greek term meaning what?

Answer: To exercise in the nude

The root word "gymnos" is Greek for "naked". Wouldn't that be an interesting health club to be a part of? The ancient Greek games, which were the forerunners of the Olympics, were originally held in the nude.
2. What is it impossible for pigs to do?

Answer: Look totally upwards

Just another reason why pigs won't fly. Pigs have four toes, but only walk on two. It is also impossible for pigs to sweat as they haven't got functional sweat glands. They find other ways to cool down.
3. Who is generally regarded as having sent the first network email?

Answer: Ray Tomlinson

Although messages had been sent previously, they could only be sent to a person using the same computer/machine and were not able to be differentiated between users. Tomlinson utilized the @ key to identify the different users. His email was sent in 1971. Email has become one of the most important forms of written communication.
4. What is the deepest lake in North America?

Answer: Great Slave Lake

Found in Canada's Northwest Territories, the Great Slave Lake is the eighth deepest in the world. It is 2015 feet deep. Crater Lake in the US is 1949 feet deep. Quesnel Lake in Canada is 1660 feet deep. Lake Tahoe in the US is 1644 feet deep.
5. What is the highest lake in North America?

Answer: Lake of the Sun

Lake of the Sun is found in a Mexican volcano crater at 13,780 feet above sea level. Lake Muriel in Washington is 14,100 feet deep, but is a subterranean pool that is not truly a lake but a temporary feature created by melt water. It is too small in surface area to be considered a lake. Pacific Tarn is found in Colorado, US and is 13,420 feet above sea level. Rowe Lake, also in Colorado, is 13,100 feet deep.
6. Where are one quarter of the bones in your body found?

Answer: Feet

The foot bones are integral in balance and weight distribution of the body, hence the need for the number, layout and function. The foot has 26 bones, 33 joints and more than 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons.
7. What will you almost never find in a Las Vegas casino?

Answer: A clock

It's five o'clock somewhere, just not in Vegas. Las Vegas casinos utilize many techniques to keep gamblers playing including the absence of clocks. Even casino layouts are designed to keep players gambling. Everything from the loud ringing of winners' alarms to the flashing lights is done to excite the gambler and keep them playing. If you don't know what time it is, you don't realize how long you've been playing.
8. What is the name of the Belleville Ontario Hockey League (OHL) team?

Answer: The Bulls

The Belleville Bulls have a great rivalry with the Kingston Frontenacs. Belleville is located approximately 1.5 hours from Canada's largest city Toronto. Montreal rising star P.K. Subban played for Belleville 2005-2009. Belleville won the J. Ross Robertson Cup in 1999.
9. Where is the last landing strip in North America that Amelia Earhart used before making her transatlantic flight?

Answer: Harbour Grace, Newfoundland

Twenty transatlantic flights took off from Harbour Grace between 1927 and 1936. This airfield is simply a grass strip. Harbour Grace was the first Newfoundland town to have a Stanley Cup Champion (Daniel Cleary).
10. Where would you find Playa Del Carmen?

Answer: Riviera Maya, Mexico

Playa Del Carmen is a very popular tourist town one hour south of Cancun in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. This city started as a fishing village and later became a tourist mecca. The main ferry terminal to Cozumel Mexico leaves from the city.
