Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What, exactly, is a 'Venus Velvet No. 2'?

Answer: a pencil

It's your standard, yellow pencil. The No. 2 indicates the hardness of the graphite. A No. 2 is harder than a No. 1, if you're ever faced with the decision.

2. You use one everyday, but on a telephone dial what letters appear over the number 6? No peeking, now.

Answer: MNO

Yes, it's a cheap, cheesy question but all you had to do was lift the receiver to get it right. Who would know?

3. How many times have you looked up a word in the dictionary? Well, what part of a dictionary entry immediately follows the bold-faced entry word, usually? (as per dictionary.com, for example)

Answer: pronunciation

Entry word (boldfaced), pronunciation, part of speech, etymology, first definition, etc. Did you ever notice?

4. What colors would most often be found in the 7-Up logo?

Answer: white, green, and red

Character actor, Geoffrey Holder, did a great series of commercials for 7-Up, intoning in his deep voice, "These are cola nuts."

Answer: 90 calories

Does it really make a difference when you figure that a fist full of Oreos has 1,200,000 calories?

6. Did you ever miss an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show"? I sure didn't. What are the LAST words to the theme song as Mary tosses her hat in the air?

Answer: "You're gonna make it after all."

The "MTM Show" dominated Saturday night TV in the US throughout the '70s with a memorable cast of characters that included Lou Grant, Murry Slaughter (on one episode, his young daughter was played by teen-aged Helen Hunt), Ted Baxter and, of course, the never-seen but much bereaved Chuckles the Clown.

7. If you're right-handed, (making this question doubly difficult for our left-handed friends), in what direction do you turn the handle when using a hand-operated can opener?

Answer: clockwise

Assuming you're right handed and north of the Equator, it's clockwise - away from your body.

8. You pay for your gummy bears with one. What's on the back side of a US $1 bill?

Answer: a pyramid

A pyramid with an all seeing eye at its apex. The pyramid consists of 13 levels, representing the original 13 colonies. The eye is the all-seeing eye of the ultimate architect, God. Many believe that the symbolism comes straight from the Freemasons, of which George Washington was a card carrying member.

9. Have you ever held a baseball, or seen one, or seen a baseball game on the tube? How many actual seams does a standard, major league baseball have?

Answer: 1

In fact, the horse hide is cut as a single piece which is then sewn onto the baseball innards in a single seam. Yes, there's a 2-seam and 4-seam fastball, but it's still only a single seam that holds the covering in place.

10. The Beatles classic "Yesterday" is still one of the most played songs on radio and in elevators. After Paul McCartney sings, "Yesterday..." what's the next line of the FIRST verse?

Answer: "all my troubles seemed so far away"

"Yesterday" joins the ranks of the most played songs along with "Happy Birthday" (actually copyrighted), "White Christmas" and "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose It's Flavor on the Bedpost Over Night". (Just kidding about that last one.)
