Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. On "The Beatles" album, also called "The White Album", the band told us the continuing story of who?

Answer: Bungalow Bill

"The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill" was a John Lennon composition and according to him was about a self-important bland young man who was present at the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at the same time as The Beatles, but took a break from the meditation and spiritual guidance to go and shoot tigers before returning to commune with God.

Bungalows are houses with just one level, and were first built in South Asia, in fact bungalow comes from the Hindi word for Bengali as there were so many built in the Bengal region of Bangladesh and India.
2. "Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995", also known as "The Tent" was an artwork created by which member of the Young British Artist movement?

Answer: Tracey Emin

For Emin's artwork, she appliqued the names of everyone she had ever shared a bed with onto a small tent. Although it was originally derided as a list of 102 people she had had sex with, it included the names of her grandmother, her twin brother and two aborted fetuses, and was in fact designed to celebrate human intimacy rather than sexual intimacy. The artwork was destroyed in a warehouse fire in 2004 and Emin has refused to recreate it, even turning down an offer of £1 million to do so.

Tents have been used to live in for centuries, being described in the Bible and also used by the Roman Army.
3. In the Russian franchises of McDonalds one can choose a breakfast roll filled with raisins, dried apricots and which other ingredient?

Answer: Cottage Cheese

Russian McDonalds also offer honey pancakes and chicken McMuffin for breakfast, as well as the standard worldwide fare. Cottage cheese is loved by people dieting throughout the world as it is high in the longer lasting casein protein while being low in fat.

A cottage is a small, cosy house normally in a rural setting.
4. Who presented UK children's TV show "Record Breakers" from 1972 to 1994, and managed to break nine world records himself during that time?

Answer: Roy Castle

Roy Castle was not so much a "jack of all trades" as a master of all trades. He was an accomplished TV host, comedian, musician, dancer, singer and actor, as well as a record breaker. His records included playing the same tune on 43 different instruments in four minutes, the longest time spent wing walking (3 hours 23 minutes, on a biplane, between London and Paris), one million taps (tap dancing) in the shortest time (23 hours 44 minutes) and a record set in 1973, which still stands in 2018 of the fastest tap-dance (1,440 taps per minute or 24 taps per second).

Castles which are still family homes include Berkeley Castle in UK, the stunning Chateau d'Usse in France and the beautiful Mespelbrunn Castle in Germany.
5. By what name is former NASCAR driver Waymond Stricklin known?

Answer: Hut

Hut Stricklin competed in almost 400 races between 1985 and 2002, managing to get three pole positions and four podium finishes during his career. Although he never won a race, many feel that he should have won at Darlington in 1996, when after having led for much of the race he lost downforce following a slight accident with 15 laps left, allowing Jeff Gordon through for the win.

Huts as dwellings come in many shapes and sizes, from Scottish bothys to Brazilian ocas.
6. Probably better known for writing "The Famous Five" and "Noddy" series of books, which children's author also wrote "Hollow Tree House"?

Answer: Enid Blyton

"Hollow Tree House" was published in 1945 and tells the story of two children who run away from their cruel aunt and set up home in a hollow tree along with a friend. Along with "The Six Bad Boys", also by Blyton, the book touches on the subjects of child abuse and juvenile delinquency which is far removed from "Noddy".

Probably the most well known tree house dwellers in modern times are the Korowai hunter-gatherer people of West Guinea, with whom contact was first made in 1970.
7. How were 90s musical duo Tunde Baiyewu and Paul Tucker better known when they recorded UK hits such as "Lifted" and "High"?

Answer: Lighthouse Family

Baiyewu and Tucker met while studying at university and managed to chart five UK top ten hits during a six year period, which, it would seem was enough for them to release a greatest hits album in 2002. Although the band split in 2003, they reformed in 2010 for a short time, but had no commercial success.

Lighthouses are of course lived in by lighthouse keepers, but many are made available to buy once they are decommissioned. Just bear in mind if tempted that they are intentionally in remote inaccessible places, often lack electricity except by way of generator and rarely have WiFi, so make playing Fun Trivia difficult.
8. "The Hebrides" overture, also known as "Fingal's Cave overture", was inspired by the weird echoes that can be heard in the cave on the Scottish island of Staffa. Which composer wrote this beautiful piece of music?

Answer: Felix Mendelssohn

Mendelssohn visited the cave 1829 and wrote this overture in 1830, dedicating it to King Frederick William IV of Prussia. Capella group, Spiralmouth did a version of "The Hebrides" for Playstation 2 game "Crash: Twinsanity", featuring everyone's favourite bandicoot.

People have lived in caves since prehistoric times and even today there are cave civilizations in Loire Valley in France as well as in Spain and China, where an estimated 30,000,000 people choose them over a city home.
9. Fulya Yurt is a Turkish athlete, who apart from being an excellent amateur golfer has represented her country at which sport?

Answer: Ice Hockey

Yurt has won amateur golf tournaments in 2008 (aged 14) and in 2013 (aged 19), but it is her skills on the ice that she is better known for. In 2013, she was playing her club hockey alongside Canadian Brıttany Marıe McCabe for Narmanspor in the Turkish Ice Hockey Women's League (TBHBL), and Yurt is still there in 2018, although McCabe has since departed.

Yurts are round tents that have been used by nomads in central Asia for thousands of years.
10. What name was given to the building that housed The Great Exhibition in London in 1851?

Answer: The Crystal Palace

The Crystal Palace was made of plate glass and cast iron, covered 92,000 square metres and housed over 15,000 exhibitors from around the world, although more than half of them were British. The Great Exhibition lasted for six months, after which the entire structure was relocated from Hyde Park to Penge Place, reopening in 1854; in 1936, the building was destroyed by a huge fire.

Probably the most famous palace still occupied is Buckingham Palace in London, although the Royal Palace of Stockholm and the Prince's Palace of Monaco can't be far behind.
