Sugar gliders are a small tree-dwelling marsupial species (Petaurus breviceps) related to the opposum. Although omnivorous, sugar gliders have a preference for sugary foods such as sap and nectar. Not able to truly fly, sugar gliders are able to glide using their patagia, membranes that extend from their front limbs to their rear limbs.

The natural habitat of sugar gliders is northern and eastern Australia and New Guinea.

Saccharin has the chemical formula C7H503S. An artificial sweetener, saccharin is far sweeter than sucrose but has a bitter, metallic aftertaste. Developed in the later 1800s, saccharin began seeing widespread use during periods of sugar shortages during World War One.

Answer: Helps the medicine go down

"A Spoonful of Sugar" was written by Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman for the 1964 Disney movie musical "Mary Poppins". In the movie, it is sung by Julie Andrews who plays the title role. Robert Sherman came up with the idea for the song after one of his children received the polio vaccine on a sugar cube.

"A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down/ The medicine go down-wown/ The medicine go down/ Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down/ In a most delightful way"

Answer: The price of the bar doubled.

The five cent Hershey chocolate bar was introduced and became a staple of candy shops and supermarket checkout lines. The five cent cost was advertised on the wrapper itself, but as the decades rolled on and inflation occurred, the company could only make a profit with a five cent price on a smaller bar. By 1969, the five cent Hershey bar weighed about nine-tenths of an ounce. That year, the price of the bar doubled to ten cents. Since then the purchase cost of the Hershey bar has shown periodic increases.

Answer: Colorado

Florida leads the United States in sugar cane with over 400,000 acres planted and 51% of the US sugar cane crop (2004-2005). Louisiana runs a close second. Texas and Hawaii are the other two states with significant commercial sugar cane production. Sugar cane requires a tropical or subtropical climate (largely not available in Colorado) to grow well. Sugar beets, however, are grown in Colorado.

Answer: British Parliament

It is also known American Revenue Act or the American Duties Act. The act placed a duty of three pence per gallon on molasses imported from the British West Indies to the British North American colonies. The revenue raised from the tax was meant to help pay for the cost of British military and naval forces stationed in the American colonies.

The Act was generally unpopular in the American colonies and it and other laws such as the Stamp Act led to slogan "No taxation without representation." In 1766, the Sugar Act was appealed and replaced with a revenue act which lowered the duty to one penny per gallon.

Answer: Rum

Rum is made from distilled sugar products such as molasses or honey or sometimes directly from sugar cane juice. It is thought that the word "rum" might originate from the final syllable of the Latin term for sugar "saccharum". Like many other distilled spirits, rum typically has an alcohol content of 35% or more. Rum played an important role in the development of colonial America including the international slave trade of the early modern period. Tequila is made from the blue agave plant. Vodka is made from potatoes and/or cereal grains. Whiskey is made from cereal grains such as wheat, barley, and rye.

"Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is a 2010 musical based on the 1964 children's book by Roald Dahl. "Sweet Adeline" is a 1929 musical by Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein.

Answer: He can see through the cards.

Henry Sugar is a independently wealthy man who was always gambling. One day he happens to read the story of a man from India who was able to see through some objects like paper and around objects like a door if he can place his hand on the other side.

Henry practices this skill until he is able to see through cards with regularity. He goes to a casino and wins a large amount of money. The next morning he decides that the excitement is gone from gambling if he knows he will win. He throws the money hes won out of his window, causing a near-riot in the street below.

A passing police officer scolds him, suggesting that Henry find a more productive way to use his money if he wants to give it away. Henry decides to establish orphanages and travels to casinos throughout the world to win money so he can establish a series of orphanages. Eventually he hires a full time makeup artist to create disguises for him so that he can visit casinos with greater regularity and win more money to establish more orphanages. "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" was a short story collection by Roald Dahl that was published in 1977. Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was also the author of "James and the Giant Peach" (1961) and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (1964).

Answer: Sucrose

Many monosaccharide sugars (such as glucose, fructose, and galactose) follow a pattern where there are an equal number of Carbon atoms and Oxygen atoms and Hydrogen atoms twice the number of each. Glucose, usually found in animal life, has the chemical formula C6H1206. Fructose, usually found in plant life, also has the chemical formula C6H12O6. Galactose, which can be found in lactose and red blood cells, also has the formula C6H12O6. Sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, has a slightly different formula with one more Carbon atom than Oxygen atoms: C12H22O11.

Answer: Five candies in a straight line

Candy Crush is a puzzle game where the basic mechanism is to line up either vertically or horizontally three candies of the same color. This removes the candies from the screen and moves the other candies down. Lining up four candies creates a striped candy which, when cleared, clears all the candies in the direction the stripes are pointing. Arranging five candies in a "L" shape creates a wrapped candy which, when cleared, explodes candies within two spaces around it. Lining up five candies in a straight line creates a doughnut.

When a doughnut switches places with a candy it removes all candies of that color from the screen. Placing four candies in a two by two square does not do anything. Candy Crush was released by King in 2012 and is completely free to players who wish to play it that way although various game assists can be purchased if wished. Over 2.7 billion copies of the Candy Crush App have been downloaded.
