S You Like It Trivia Quiz

Answer: Santana

Named for its lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Carlos Santana, the band was formed in 1966. Carlos Santana was born in Mexico in 1947, and his band featured rock and roll and Latin American jazz, before fusion was popular. The song "Oye Como Va" translates to "Hear how it goes" in English, was written by Tito Puente in 1962, and used as the cover song of Santana's album "Abraxas" in 1970.

The song reached number thirteen on the Billboard Top 100 in the US.

Answer: Sage

Common sage (Salvia officinalis) is an evergreen perennial that has gray leaves and woody stems. Native to the Mediterranean region, it is a member of the mint family. It is prized for its essential oils, in medicine (in some circles) it is seen to produce a positive effect on the functionality of the human brain and is a much sought after herb for the delicate flavours it adds in cooking.

In Great Britain it is classed as one of the four "essential" herbs. The others, which along with sage, also appear in the folk song "Scarborough Fair", are parsley, rosemary and thyme.

Answer: Salazar

António de Oliveira Salazar was born in Vimieiro, Portugal, in 1889. During his time in office, political freedoms were curtailed, with the National Assembly composed entirely of government supporters, and ministers whose activity Salazar supervised closely. Under his watch, Portugal remained neutral in World War II, and became part of NATO in 1949.

The post-war period was a prosperous time for Portugal; however, Salazar's policy of retaining control over African colonies drew harsh criticism.

Answer: Sartre

Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the key figures in existentialism and is one of the most recognised philosophers of the twentieth century. The "authentic" way of "being", which was prevalent in his 1943 work "Being and Nothingness" was a strong theme in his work and his writings provide a strong influence on critical theory, sociology and literary works. "Existentialism is a Humanism" was published in 1946. Sartre was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964.

Answer: Santa Ana

Referred to as Santa Ana winds, these are dangerous north-easterlies that originate in the mountains of Southern California and blow towards the coast. They are named for one of the desert canyons through which they blow, and because of this, they are characteristically blustery, dry, hot winds.

They are destructive; knocking over trees, raising clouds of dust and exacerbating wildfires. Gusts of these winds can reach as much as 74mph or greater - that's hurricane force. An atypical Santa Ana can also bring freezing winds.

Answer: Sato

Predominantly seen in Uzbekistan, the Sato is a bowed tanbur, used primarily for folk songs. It has five strings, with the bottom four being drone strings while the top one is held down and plucked to produce the melody. Turgun Alimatov, who passed away in 2008, is a famous Uzbek musician and composer, and he was largely responsible for reviving and re-popularising the instrument.

Answer: Saladin

Saladin was a Muslim fighter who halted the Third Crusade, and William Stewart Ross, born into a Presbyterian family, used the name "Saladin" as his non de plume when writing pamphlets dedicated to the free-thought movement. He assisted in the publication of educational works in London and even turned his hand to poetry, winning the medal for best poem commemorating the unveiling of the statue of Robert Burns.

Answer: Sawyer

Bubba "Leatherface" Sawyer made his first film appearance in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in 1974 and there have been a series of sequels and prequels since then. He wears a mask that he has created from human skin and, needless to say, he is a murderer and a cannibal. And, in case you missed the irony in the name, a sawyer is also an occupation... a woodcutter.

Answer: Sade

Popular in the 1980s and 1990s, Helen Adu (stage name Sade) was born in Ibadan in Nigeria. When her parents divorced, she moved with her mother and younger brother to England, beginning a fashion and design course at the age of seventeen. Her singing career began when she temporarily filled in as the lead singer for funk band Arriva.

Her biggest solo hits were "Smooth Operator" (1984) and "The Sweetest Taboo" (1985).

Answer: Sachs

Andrew Sachs was born in Berlin, Germany in 1930. When he was eight he fled the country with his family to get away from the Nazi regime. He graduated from radio productions in the 1950s to make his stage debut at London's West End, playing Grobchick in the Whitehall farce "Simple Spymen" (1958).

His most celebrated role was that of the Spanish waiter Manuel in the television series "Fawlty Towers" (1975-79). Under the guise of the character Manuel, Sachs would also go on to release four music singles, including a version of Joe Dolce's hit "Shaddup You Face".
