Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: A fish

An indigenous California fish, jacksmelt are sometimes eaten, but in the opinion of the author, jacksmelt are best suited for fertilizer.

Applejack is apple brandy. The food processor chops the apples. The pillow case holds the chopped apples while they are in the cider press. The juice is fermented and then partially frozen. Removing the top layer of ice concentrates the alcohol. In America, using a still to produce applejack is illegal. Actually, the nationality of the pillow case is not important.

Monterey Jack, in addition to being a cheese, was also a character on "Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers". He was an Australian Explorer Mouse.

4. What or who is Jumping Jack Flash?

The Rolling Stones released Jumping Jack Flash in 1967. Yes, I know Australia has premiers not presidents. But with my luck, one of the Australian premiers would turn out to be nicknamed "Jumping Jack Flash".

10. What is Jacques de Liege credited with inventing?

Answer: The jackknife

Another theory of the origin of the "jackknife" relates it to James I. His nickname was apparently "Jack", and clasp knives were popular during his reign. According to this theory, the knives came to be named after him. (I didn't say it was a plausible theory.)
