Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I am in one of my favourite stores. It sells music, movies and games - what could be better? I'm browsing through the music section, looking at an album from Noah and The Whale. What was the name of their debut album?
2. Moving on to the movie section, I notice a man peering intently at me from across the aisle. He continues to stare and I quickly pick up a DVD and study it. Reading the cover, I discover it stars Keisha Castle-Hughes in the lead role. Which whale movie have I picked up?
3. Looking up from the DVD, I see the same man heading towards me. I move off and duck behind a cardboard standee of a famous actor. Well known for being a captain of the 'Starship Enterprise', this actor also starred as the whale-obsessed Captain Ahab. Who am I dodging behind?
4. As I sidle furtively out from behind my cardboard camouflage, I'm distracted as I notice a game I have played on my PC. In this game you play the commander of a space freighter and you and your crew must trade and barter in order to raise money, upgrade the dilapidated freighter and make it home. Which game has distracted me from my departure?
5. Oops, I've been spotted and he is hurrying towards me now. In my haste to throw off my tail, I stumble and damage my heel. Making my way, quickly if lopsidedly, to the nearest shoe store, which designer shoes do I reject as their red soles are too distinctive?
6. New shoes sorted, I walk out of the store only to discover that man is still on my tail. Deciding to lose myself in a cloud of perfume, I head into a department store to search for my favourite perfume, made by a Japanese designer famous for developing a new method of pleating, now branded under Pleats Please. Which perfume am I searching for?
7. Although my pursuer notices me, he is distracted as a helpful shop assistant squirts a cloud of cologne right in front of him. I take the opportunity to jump onto the escalator which takes me down to the home wares department. I notice a range of cookware that I've always admired. Founded in France in 1925, which company is famous for its enameled cast-iron cookware?
8. I move on to the bookstore, and pick up the nearest book. I peer over the top of it, watching as the man who has been following me emerges from the department store opposite. He can't seem to find me and as he moves off, I glance down at the book I have grabbed. I notice a sticker on it saying that it was the winner of the BBC Samuel Johnson prize in 2009. Which book have I been using as a shield?
9. I am pretty sure that I have lost my tail for good, so now I can get on with the reason for my trip to the shopping centre. I'm buying a birthday present for my brother. He can be fussy, but I'm always safe with anything from his favourite Italian designer. Which designer, born in Piacenza, Italy, formed his own design company in 1975?
10. I'm delighted with my present and I walk out of the store smiling...and slam straight into my tail! 'You left this behind you, miss', he says as he hands me a package. I look down to see a statue that was my first purchase today. Feeling foolish now, I thank him. The statue is of Orcinus orca - which is more commonly known as what?
