Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hailing from Nova Scotia, Canada, this schooner was the fastest of her time and is pictured on the back of the Canadian dime?

Answer: Bluenose

The "Bluenose" won the International Fisherman's Trophy race held in the 1920s and '30s four times in just seven entries. She was immortalized on the Canadian dime in 1937, although the design was changed in 2001 (many older coins, of course still being in circulation).

In 1955 both the "Bluenose" and her captain, Angus Walters, were inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. The "Bluenose II," a replica of the original built to preserve heritage rather than race, was built in 1963 and sold to the province of Nova Scotia in 1971.

She is now dry-docked in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, where she can be toured.

2. The elements that make water are what?

Answer: Hydrogen and Oxygen

Its chemical symbol is H2O.

3. Who was the murderous husband in Charles Perrault's "La Barbe Bleue"?

Answer: Bluebeard

The character is thought to be based on Gilles de Rais and Comorre the Cursed, both of whom committed similar crimes.

4. What are you if you're "feeling blue"?

Answer: sad or depressed

5. In art, which colour is "complementary" to blue?

Answer: Orange

Blue and orange, red and green, and purple and yellow.

6. In a rainbow, if you assume red to be the first colour, where is blue?

Answer: 5th

Always remember, "Roy G. Biv"... Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

Our English cousins use a different system to remember... "Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain", which also commemorates the War of the Roses. (Richard, Duke of York won the first battle of St. Albans in 1455, but by the next year the queen's party was back in power and York was forced in 1459 to flee to Ireland.)

Many thanks to Quizzyland player Aethelflaed and encyclopedia.com for the above information!
