Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Your shish will taste better if you add what to it?

Answer: kebab

Shish kebab is a dish of pieces of marinated meat and vegetables cooked on skewers. The term comes from the Turkish "sis kebap" meaning "skewers of roast meat".

2. "tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhlaHbe", but if you do you'll have no trouble identifying Star Trek's favorite bad-boy allies.

Answer: Klingons

It has to be the Klingons! First seen in the "Star Trek: The Original Series" episode "Errand of Mercy", the warrior race has had a real love/hate relationship with the United Federation of Planets, often following their own agenda regardless of treaties or partnerships. If you're wondering, "tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhlaHbe" means "I do not speak Klingon".

3. Who unified the Hawaiian Islands?

Answer: Kamehameha

King Kamehameha I, also known as Kamehameha the Great, established the Kingdom of Hawai'i in 1810 - and not by diplomacy. After defeating the rulers of the other Hawaiian islands, Kamehameha became something of a praiseworthy leader. Would you like to know his full name? It is Kalani Paiʻea Wohi o Kaleikini Kealiʻikui Kamehameha o ʻIolani i Kaiwikapu kaui Ka Liholiho Kūnuiākea.

4. When I was a young child, my grandmother wanted to show me a type of grasshopper. By what name would we recognize it?

Answer: katydid

Katydids are green grasshoppers, native to North America, who look like leaves or seeds. About 2 in./5 cm. long, their ears are on their front legs. The noise made when they rub their two front wings together gives them their name.

5. Which of these is the name of a desert in southern Africa?

Answer: Kalahari

The Kalahari Desert covers about 350,000 sq. mi./ 900,000 sq. km. in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. It is hot, as you might expect, but has enough rainfall to be classified a semi-desert. Its Afrikaans name is "Dorsland", meaning "thirsty land".

6. "I'm going to (name of city), (name of city) here I come. They've got some crazy little women there, and I'm gonna get me one." What is the name of this song by Wilbert Harrison?

Answer: Kansas City

"Kansas City" was a number one record on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1959 for Wilbert Harrison. It was his biggest hit. The song has been named one of the 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll'.

7. What is the name of the ceremonial dolls made by the Hopi tribe of Native Americans?

Answer: kachina

Kachina dolls, used by the Hopi tribe in America's southwest, date back to the 18th century. They are meant to be representative of spirits familiar to the tribe, but are not meant to be worshiped or used as children's toys. Other tribes recognize kachinas and have somewhat different meanings for them.

8. What is the name of one of the traditional Samurai swords from Japan?

Answer: katana

The katana is a slim, single-edged, curved sword which entered the Samurai's arsenal sometime around the year 1400. The katana was quicker to draw and put into use against an enemy than some other swords.

9. What is the name of a mountain in the U.S. state of Maine that is the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail?

Answer: Katahdin

Mt. Katahdin is Maine's highest peak. It was named by the Penobscot Indians; in their language it means "The Greatest Mountain". Anyone wanting to hike the 2,184 mi./3,515 km. Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which extends to Springer Mountain, Georgia, starts or ends here. The name Katahdin has also been given to a particularly good baking potato from Maine.

10. Mmm! What's the name of a legal, semi-narcotic drink from Polynesia?

Answer: kava-kava

Kava-kava (or just kava) is made by chewing, grinding or pounding the roots of the kava (Piper methysticum) plant. It is drunk all over Polynesia. It may have originated in Tonga. It is used as a relaxant. In some Polynesian cultures, women are not allowed to drink it.
