Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is an author of 'The Farseer' series, 'The Liveship Traders' and the 'Golden Fool' series?

Answer: Robin Hobb

Her real name is Megan Lindholm and she published a number of books under that name as well. Most well-known ones are 'The Windsingers' and 'The Reindeer People'.

2. Which of the following is not a statistical tool to describe the spread of data?

Answer: mode

In a set of data, mode is the value that occurs most often and has nothing to do with the spread of data.

3. The Canadian parliament consists of which of the following?

Answer: House of Commons, Senate, Governor General

4. A young offender in Canada who is sentenced for a maximum penalty of 10 years for murder in youth court can receive full parole after 1/3 of his sentence.

Answer: False

Young offenders cannot get parole during their sentence. However, an adult criminal who would be sentenced to life for murder would have all his/her weekends subtracted, after 1/6 of the sentence could apply for day parole, and after 2/3 of the sentence would most likely get mandatory supervision.

5. According to psychologists, the Dionne quintuplets are an example of what?

Answer: Isolates

They are an example of isolates because they were made a show of when they were young and did not receive proper bonding with their parents. Because of that lack of close connections to anyone, they were not as well psychologically developed as an average child would be. Feral children are the children who become completely isolated from any human company as babies and who usually survive because an animal is caring for them.

6. Which of the following bands wrote a song called 'Forever Young'?

Answer: Alphaville

It is a very beautiful song.

7. Which is the only ecological pyramid that may appear in reverse?

Answer: numbers pyramid

Ecological pyramids are used to represent energy flow in food chains and food webs. The numbers pyramid is the only one that may appear inverted because if, for example, the bottom of the food chain are 50 trees, there may be 100000 insects using the trees as their food source, so the next level of the pyramid would appear bigger than the first one.

8. Would it be more likely for clouds to form in a low-pressure zone or a high-pressure zone?

Answer: low-pressure

It is more likely that the clouds will form over a low-pressure zone because that is where warm air is likely to rise more and thus form more clouds.

9. In bowling, what is it called when a person hits three strikes in a row?

Answer: turkey

It is called a spare when a person hits all bowling pins down in two tries.

10. Which of the following is not typically an ingredient of regular potato chips?

Answer: parmesan cheese

There's also often wheat starch, water, and monoglycerides.

11. What author wrote a book about a girl named Taylor, and her step-daughter, Turtle, called 'The Bean Trees'?

Answer: Barbara Kingsolver

She also wrote a sequel to the novel called 'Pigs in Heaven'. Kingsolver is known as well for her other books such as 'The Poisonwood Bible', and 'High Tide in Tuscon'.

12. How many times was Whoopie Goldberg a host on the Academy Awards as of 2002?
