Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Hull

Next to London, Kingston upon Hull suffered the worst bombings during World War II, with over 90% of its buildings damaged or destroyed. Interestingly, Darral's dad played in the bombed-out buildings as a kid. Darral played in the new construction in the same areas as a kid.

2. Darral's sport of choice both growing up and well into adulthood saw him first as a hooker and then a winger. He scored tries and participated in scrums. What sport is this?

Answer: Rugby

Rugby has two forms: Rugby League and Rugby Union. Darral has played both but here in the U.S. Rugby Union is dominant. Differences include League is 13 a side, you don't have to release the ball when tackled, and you have a scrum if the ball goes out of play. Union has 15 a side, you need to release the ball when tackled, and a line-out is done if a ball goes out of play. And of course, both forms use no protective pads!

Answer: Droll

Webster's definition of droll is "having a humorous, whimsical, or odd quality" and lists it as a synonym to humor.

Answer: Top Gun

Tom Cruise plays the leading man, Maverick. Kelly McGillis plays Charlie, Val Kilmer plays Iceman, Anthony Edwards plays Goose and Michael Ironside plays Jester. Other interesting character callsigns from the movie include Viper, Cougar, Wolfman and Slider.

Answer: 1993

Other happenings in 1993 include Jurassic Park is the top grossing film. Brandon Lee dies of an accidental gunshot on his last movie set. The Waco compound is stormed by the FBI.

Answer: Coca Cola

Coke debuted in 1886. John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Robinson, not only named the new drink but wrote out the signature name in his own handwriting. That handwritten script is still the one used by Coca Cola today.

Answer: Take a look.

Other words we have crossed over have been jumper for sweater, bin for trashcan, and bloody for just about any good adjective.

Answer: Kellogg's

Tony the Tiger is the official mascot and "They're Gr-r-reat!" is the official trademark. Corn flakes and sugar are the two main ingredients. Kellogg's has come up with a reduced-sugar version but Darral will have nothing to do with it!

Answer: Front Loader

A front loader refers to a washing machine, not a vacuum.

The upright is the oldest version of the vacuum. A manual crank version was patented in 1868 but it was hard-to-use because the operator had to crank it at the same time it was being pushed across the floor.

10. Darral likes all of the following movie series. All of them originated from popular book series except for one. Which movie series was originally made for the big screen only?

Answer: Freddy Krueger

The Harry Potter series was written by J.K. Rowling. "Jurassic Park" was written by Michael Crichton. The James Bond series was written by Ian Fleming. Freddy Krueger was created by Wes Craven.
