Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Barbie Doll has been a popular toy with girls (and some boys) for many years. What is her last name?

Answer: Roberts

According to Mattel, she did not change her name upon marrying Ken.

2. If a man tells you he's a member of SPEBSQSA, what do you know he likes to do?

Answer: Sing

SPEBSQSA is the "Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America". This is the North American branch of an international organization. There are also Barbershop organizations in other countries around the world such a New Zealand, Great Britain, and Sweden.

3. Typically, how often do koalas breed?

Answer: Once a year

They typically only have one baby at a time, so it is very difficult to maintain this endangered species.

4. Which of these is not true about Alfred Hitchcock?

Answer: He never became a U.S. citizen

Alfred Hitchcock never won a competitive Academy Award, but he won the Irving G. Thalberg Award in 1967. At the time, his acceptance speech was the shortest in Oscar history. The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award is awarded periodically (although not every year) at the Academy Awards.

It is awarded to (quote) "creative producers, whose bodies of work reflect a consistently high quality of motion picture production."

5. What is the name for the "dot" that goes over the lower case letter "i"?

Answer: tittle

A "tittle" is also the name for the dot over a "j".

6. Which is true about the inventor of the soft drink 7-Up?

Answer: He was not an albino

C.L. Grigg invented it in 1929. It was originally called "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda". 7-up's parent company once spread a story that the red dot on the can came from the inventor's eyes and that he was an albino. They have since confessed that this was a marketing ploy.

7. The very first bomb dropped by the Allies on Berlin during World War II hit the Berlin Zoo. Which animal did it kill?

Answer: Elephant

It killed their only elephant and no other animals. If you ask me, the elephant was probably asking for it.

8. What is the smallest single cell in a man's body?

Answer: Sperm

The strongest muscle by weight is his tongue.

9. In 1983, the only country to register zero births was Vatican City.

Answer: True

The population of Vatican City is made up of mostly Catholic nuns, priests, bishops, a pope, etc. I would hope they register a very small number of births every year!

10. In the TV series "M*A*S*H", what bra size did Corporal Maxwell Klinger wear?

Answer: 36B

It was a "Miss Highrise" bra! He wore it (and women's clothing in general) in an attempt to get a Section 8, which is a discharge for army personnel who are mentally ill.
