Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Clint Eastwood as "Dirty Harry"(1971) says after cornering a suspect "Uh uh. I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, ____? Fill in the blank.

Answer: Punk

If Clint Eastwood had not established a screen persona, "Dirty Harry" established it through this and four sequels. The full quote is given as the line is often misquoted.
2. Fyodor Dostoyevsky is one of the great Russian novelists noted for what study of guilt and rationalization?

Answer: Crime and Punishment

Three of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novels are still widely read and taught including "Crime and Punishment" (1866), "The Idiot"(1869) and "The Brothers Karamazov "(1880), in addition to other novels, numerous short stories, essays, and translations.
3. I was both pleased and disappointed when I got an A- as my final grade. I asked my teacher what I could have done to earned an A. She said she had one word for me "--------". What is the correct spelling?

Answer: Punctuality

Apparently, missing a couple of lectures and coming in late had more impact than I thought. No matter how objective a teacher tries to be some subjectivity inters into the equation.
4. Before the advent of the popularity of government sponsored lotteries, for a period of time in just about any tavern, ice cream parlor, grocery store, cigar store or diner, one could find what gambling devices?

Answer: Punchboard

Punchboards date back to the 1800s when tavern owners would drill holes and stuff the holes with papers indicating losers and winners. This lead to some chicanery as the tavern keeper knew where the prize tabs were. As technology improved, manufactured punchboards had both the front and the back sealed and a special stylus was needed to push the tab out.

In 1939, an estimated 50 million punchboards were sold. Use of punchboards declined sharply after World War Two. A vintage punchboard with all the punches in tact can garner a hefty price from a collector.
5. Harry was strutting around the office after he won the college NCAA basketball pool, as he believed himself to be an expert. We call him the ___________.

Answer: Pundit

A pundit is someone who is a learned person, expert, or authority. It is related to the Hindi word pandit meaning a learned person. Colloquially, it is sometimes used to describe a person who can predict the future.
6. Richard dreamed of joining the army when he became of age. But at his physical he was rejected because his eardrum was what?

Answer: Punctured

A punctured or ruptured eardrum can lead to hearing loss and become a vulnerable site for infections.
7. The coach found that his offense was ineffective. So with fourth down and six yards to go for a first down, the coach sent in his what?

Answer: Punter

In American football it is considered a good strategy to kick the ball by the punter to place the other team as far as possible from the goal you are protecting.
8. I knew my Aunt Lena was cooking cabbage because of its ________ odor. What word best fits?

Answer: Pungent

Many vegetables contain certain oils and resins that create pungent odors when cooked. This is most noticeable when the lid is lifted as the odors have been contained. Chefs recommend leaving the lid off or streaming.
9. Given these choices, what would you do with a "punt"?

Answer: Pole it

A punt is a flat-bottomed boat used on shallow parches of water. They are propelled and guided by the use of long poles that can reach the river bed.
10. What is a Punkah?

Answer: A ceiling fan

The ceiling fan has been around for centuries and became popular among the British that commercialized India. Human power by servants or slaves were the means of activation, replaced by electricity in the early 20th century and now a common finding in modern homes.
