Fifteen Minutes of Shame Trivia Quiz

Answer: Temple

The sphenoid bone is located on the side of the head, between the ear and the eye, as well as part of the cheek. The temple is usually associated with more of the cheek area, but it does include part of the sphenoid bone.

Answer: Landing

Some flights of stairs often have a landing, which allows stairs to turn and go in a different direction, instead of continuing down straight (though some stairs still go straight down, even with a landing). The landing is like a giant step in the staircase or a very small level in between two stories.

Answer: Toasts ones side of the bagel and warms the other

If only I had known about the bagel setting, I would not have ended with mine burnt to a crisp. The bagel setting on a toaster, either as a button or as a setting on a dial, will heat your bagel perfectly. With this setting on, the inside part of the toaster will toast, while the outside heaters of the toaster will simply warm.

When you put the bagel inside, place the inside of the bagel towards the middle of the toaster. It will toast the bagel's inside while only warming the outside, for the perfectly toasted bagel.

Answer: Buttermilk

Buttermilk is usually used for baking, and is much thicker than regular milk. It is commonly used to make buttermilk biscuits, but not to eat with cereal. Soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk are all good alternatives to regular milk if one is lactose intolerant.

Answer: Cough Syrup

Many things come in a tube similar to that of toothpaste, but cough syrup is not one of them. Cough syrup often comes in a bottle, and the lid sometimes acts as a built-in measuring device.

Tomato paste comes in many different forms, but the tube can be used when you don't need an entire 8 oz. can. Neosporin comes in a tube, and is used on cuts and scrapes to help speed the healing process. Paint comes in all sorts of containers, and some paints used can be bought in little toothpaste-like tubes.

Answer: Windex

Windex is a window and hard-surface cleaner. It has been made since 1933, and it was bought by SC Johnson in 1993. Most people recognize Windex to be in a clear bottle with the cleaner being a blue liquid; very similar to the color of mouthwash if you aren't paying attention!

But seriously, if you ingest ANY cleaner of ANY sort, contact your poison control center right away.

Answer: Stomach ache

Apple cider vinegar is often used for stomach aches, whether in vinegar form or in pill form. However, this vinegar is very acidic, and one must be careful not to drink it straight. It is best combined with water or juice or something, just to get rid of some of the acidity. One person even got acid burns in her throat from taking the ACV pill!

Answer: Big Toe

The hallux is often called the big toe, or the great toe. This toe is the innermost of the toes on each foot. It is generally bigger than all the other toes. Sometimes, though, the toe right next to the hallux is longer, which is known as Morton's Toe or Greek Foot.

Answer: The direction of the buttons are different.

On a men's shirt, the buttons are on the right side, with the holes on the left. On a women's shirt, however, the buttons are on the left side, with the holes on the right side.

It still looked like a regular shirt to me, so I struggled to button the buttons the way I'm not used to, and hoped no one would notice.

Answer: As strong as steel

Spider silk is about six times lighter than steel, but with the same weight's worth of steel and spider silk, the silk is stronger. In fact, if you were to blow up the spider silk to a large enough size, it is strong enough to stop a jet engine in flight!

According to tensile strength, some steel has around 850 ultimate strength (MPa), while that of spider silk is 1,000MPa! Bamboo is only around 350-500MPa, glass is only 33MPa, and diamond is a whopping 2,800MPa. Even stronger, though, is graphene, at 130,000MPa.
