Orange You Glad I Wrote This Quiz?

Answer: Golden Gate Bridge

This is the Golden Gate Bridge spanning the Golden Gate Strait in the Golden State of California. It opened in 1937 after 4 years of construction.

Do you have something you might like to paint in this particular color? Go to your local paint store and give them this formula for CMYK colors: C= Cyan: 0%, M =Magenta: 69%, Y =Yellow: 100%, K = Black: 6%.

Answer: Creamsicle

The origins of the Creamsicle have been lost to time. The vanilla ice cream bars coated with frozen orange juice were originally produced by the Popsicle Company, although their origins may come from a soda fountain treat known as the orange freeze. The Popsicle Co. and its creations have been sold several times and are now a subsidiary of the Unilever Company. Regardless, Creamsicles are a great Summer treat. And summer is about nine months long where I live!

Answer: Orange tip butterfly

This is an orange quiz so Orange Tip butterfly it is. The male of the species has orange tips on his wings; the females are mostly white. The male can hide the orange by tucking in his wings. They are found across Europe and Asia to Japan and have been found in increasing numbers in Great Britain over the last three decades; botanists attribute that to warmer temperatures.

Answer: clownfish

There are two types of fish known as the clownfish but the clown anemonefish (Amphiprion percula) is the true one. They have a symbiotic relationship with anemones, which normally eat fish. The clowns have a layer of mucus which can protect them from the anemone's stings.

They do a little dance with the anemones - like a cross between the Bump and the Electric Slide from what I can gather, to kind of get to know them, I guess - and then live in among the anemone's tentacles, cleaning the anemone of parasites in exchange for being protected from bigger fish.
