Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What shade of green is named the same as a publisher of romance novels?

Answer: Harlequin

Harlequin is recognized as one of the largest publishers of romance literature in the world. The other options are also romance publishers, but their names aren't used for variants of the color green.

2. There are 12 standard Crayola crayon colors that contain the word "green" in them. Which of these colors is not one of them?

Answer: Green Sheen

Here are the official "Green" colors according to the Crayola website, in alphabetical order: Blue Green, Caribbean Green, Forest Green, Green (of course), Green Yellow, Jungle Green, Olive Green, Pine Green, Screamin' Green, Sea Green, Spring Green and Yellow Green. In case you're curious, Crayola lists a total of 20 colors that contain the COLOR green.

3. According to Kermit the Frog, is it easy being green?

Answer: No

Kermit the Frog was the creation of Muppet creator Jim Henson, who was also the voice of Kermit from his inception in 1955 until his passing in 1990. The song "Being Green", first performed on "Sesame Street" in 1970, is a song about accepting and being happy with yourself just as you are.

4. On a standard golf course, is the "green" generally larger, smaller, or about the same size as the fairway?

Answer: smaller

In golf, the object is to put the ball into the hole, which is located on the green. The grass on the green is generally cut much shorter than on the rest of the hole; this gives the player more control when "putting" the ball.

5. What is the distinguishing characteristic of a person being called a "greenhorn"?

Answer: Inexperienced

The term "green" is often used to describe something or someone that has not yet matured. The other three answers, by the way, are characteristics of a "tinhorn".

6. What state of mind - generally considered undesirable or sinful - can one be described as being "green with"?

Answer: Envy

The phrase "green with envy" - depending on whom you believe - originated with Shakespeare's use of the term "green-eyed monster" in Othello or the ancient green belief that jealousy was associated with the overproduction of bile, which can give the skin a yellowish-green tint. The other three answers are, along with envy, on the list of the Seven Deadly Sins.

7. Which of these words would be considered the closest synonym to the word "green" as an environmental term?

Answer: Biodegradable

In general, anything that is considered to have a positive impact on the environment can be given the label "green". Merriam-Webster defines biodegradable materials as those that can be broken down into basic, safe compounds "by the actions of living "organisms".

Answer: India

The green stripe on the Italian flag represents their rolling hills and pastures, while on the Irish flag is represents Celtic tradition. The symbol in the center of the Indian flag is called the Ashok Chakra; it is a 24-spoked wheel that represents righteousness.

9. According to traditional teachings, what green plant did St. Patrick use as part of his attempts to bring Christianity to Ireland?

Answer: shamrock

St. Patrick used the shamrock as a metaphor for the Holy Trinity. The shamrock has three leaves but is still one plant, just as Patrick believed that Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three united in one Godhead.

10. What is the most expensive gemstone that is primarily found in green?

Answer: Emerald

Green diamonds do exist, and their value rivals that of the emerald, but diamonds are not normally found in green. As is the case with other gems, the value of an emerald is judged based on size, color, flawlessness and clarity.
