Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Animals: What I is a fast-moving antelope native to the southern parts of the African continent?

Answer: Impala

The impala is a medium-sized antelope that is found in savannah regions.

While its natural predators include leopards, lions, cheetahs, crocodiles and hyenas, the impala can jump over nine metres in distance and two metres in height from a standstill to evade them.
2. Brain Teasers: What I follows B and comes before V in a well-known scientific principle?

Answer: Indigo

The colours of the spectrum are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

Or, as many of us in the UK were taught in a mnemonic: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain.
3. Celebrities: Which I was a glamorous highly paid supermodel who married a pop star and was known usually by just one name?

Answer: Iman

Iman Mohamed Abdulmajid was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in July 1956.

Professionally, she was known simply as Iman, which is Arabic for "faith".

She began modelling for "Vogue" magazine at the age of 20 and during her career worked with some of high fashion's best known photographers.

She branched out to run her own cosmetics business and also acted on TV and in cinema productions.

Noted for her philanthropy, Iman was married to the musician David Bowie from 1992 until his death in 2016.
4. Entertainment: Which I was a British radio comedy show that featured Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden as three of its most famous panellists and was initially hosted by the former jazz bandleader Humphrey Lyttleton?

Answer: I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue

"I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" branded itself as "the antidote to panel games" and first aired in 1972.

It comprised two teams of two players engaged in comedic and often silly routines. Humphrey Lyttleton was its first host to 2007. After his death, a number of guest hosts took over, until comedian Jack Dee became full-time host in 2009.

Tim Brooke-Taylor, Barry Cryer, and Graeme Garden were the core participants, with guests each week, and musical accompanist was Colin Sell.

The range of games is too varied to list. To give a flavour, among the most popular were 'One Song to the Tune of Another' (think of trying to sing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of "The House of the Rising Sun" and you will get the drift) and 'Good News Bad News' (Good News, NASA has named the astronaut it is going to send on a one-way mission to Mars. Bad News, it is not Donald Trump. I made that one up, by the way.)

Probably the most famous routine was 'Mornington Crescent', a game in which the panelists had in turn to name a London landmark using a barely recognised pattern with the aim of ending up at the tube station Mornington Crescent.
5. For Children: What I is a game you can play when you challenge your friends to guess what you are looking at?

Answer: I Spy

I Spy with my little eye a 100 per cent correct tally for this question.

This is often a game parents play to keep their offspring occupied while having to wait for something to happen.

The idea is to say "I spy with my little eye something beginning with C" (or some other letter) and let the other player or players guess what that C-object is.
6. General: Names: Which I is an Irish name that means "blessed" and is also associated with an island where St Colmcille founded a monastery?

Answer: Iona

In 563AD, St Colmcille (aka Columba) left his native Co Donegal and founded a monastery on the island of Iona, which is in the Inner Hebrides between Scotland and Ireland.

Iona is traditionally a girl's name.

Greece also lays claim to the name Iona, which is often taken to mean "purple jewel."
7. Geography: Which I is a country that has a significant space agency and created a world record in 2017 by launching 104 satellites from a single rocket?

Answer: India

India has had a space programme since 1962. Its headquarters are at the city of Bengaluru.

India's first satellite was launched from the USSR in 1975, but it has a modern launch facility of its own at Sriharikota, an island off the east coast of Andhra Pradesh.

In May 2016. India launched a scale model of its first space 'shuttle' intended for renters and reuse.
8. History: Which I was a Spanish queen who financed a voyage by Christopher Columbus in which he explored a new world?

Answer: Isabella I of Castile

Isabel I de Castilla lived from April 1451 - November 1504. She was the daughter of King John II and, at birth, was second in line of ascension to the throne after her half-brother, Henry.

He became Henry IV and, in turbulent times, named Isabella as his heir. She married her second cousin Ferdinand in some secrecy in 1469.

Isabella became queen in 1474, and in 1492 sponsored and paid for an exploration by Columbus to find a route westward to India.

On this, his first of four voyages, Columbus explored Cuba and other islands that are now known as the West Indies.

Isabella was to reign until 1504, when her health was in decline; she died after that year.

Her legacy includes the unification of Spain and the creation of its empire. She is also remembered for instituting the Spanish Inquisition.
9. Hobbies: Photography: What I is used as the measure of the sensitivity of film?

Answer: ISO

The International Standards Organisation sets the parameters for the sensitivity of film.

Photographers refer to this as "the speed" of the film - or the sensors in digital cameras.

In simple terms, the higher the number the "faster" the film or digital sensors.

Knowing your ISO setting means a lot in determining the quality of your photographs.

Sports photographers, for example, will use a 'fast' ISO while landscape and still-life photographers will use a slower one. The faster the setting, the grainier the photograph will be - but it enables you to catch fast action sports better.
10. Humanities: Mythology. What I was a young Greek who tried to escape a prison using a set of hand-made wings but flew too high and fell to earth?

Answer: Icarus

Icarus was the son of Daedalus, a craftsman who created a labyrinth under the court of King Minos of Crete.

This was the place where the half-man, half bull Minotaur lived.

In order to keep the location secret, King Minos imprisoned Daedalus and Icarus in a tower. Daedalus made two sets of wings from feathers and wax. When they set off to fly from the tower, he cautioned Icarus not to fly too high.

Of course he forgot those warnings and as he got higher, the sun melted the wax and Icarus fell to earth.
