Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jack the Ripper's territory
Answer: Whitechapel
In the East End of London, not far from the docks, sits the district of Whitechapel. Between 1888 and 1891, while it was a particularly poor area, eleven women were brutally murdered. Their deaths have for the most part been attributed to the unidentified serial killer known as Jack the Ripper.
2. American actor, "The Golden Girls"
Answer: Betty
According to a 2011 poll by the Hollywood Report, American actress Betty White is the most popular and trusted celebrity. Betty has a long and storied career, which began soon after her family relocated from Illinois to southern California. Betty wrote and modeled before her acting career took off. She joined the war effort in the '40s and joined the American Women's Voluntary Services.
3. Fictional drug kingpin
Answer: Walter
Walter White was the chemistry teacher who turned to making and selling meth so he could make money in the television series "Breaking Bad." It turned out he enjoyed his success, and didn't want to stop, no matter what it cost him personally. He was played to great acclaim by California native Bryan Cranston.
4. Albumen silver
Answer: Photos made with egg whites
In the 1800s, photographers had another way of producing a photographic print onto paper. One method, devised by French inventor Louis Désiré Blanquart-Evrard, began with brushing albumen from egg whites onto cotton paper. Remaining steps involve silver nitrate, sodium thiosulfate, and gold or selenium toning.
5. Damsel with seven friends
Answer: Snow White
Snow White stepped onto the world in the 1812 publication of "Grimms' Fairy Tales." The original version, which has the wicked queen dying while dancing in burning red shoes, was altered by Disney in its animated film released in 1937. In that version, the queen dies by falling off a cliff.
6. Jack London novel
Answer: White Fang
"White Fang" is the story of a hybrid wolf-dog living in the Yukon territory of Canada. Separated from his mother, he lives on his own until an evil man forces him to become a fierce fighter with other dogs. Much of the story is written from the point of view of White Fang himself.
7. "The West Wing"
Answer: White House
"The West Wing," a series about an American president and his White House staff, ran on NBC from 1999 to 2006. Josiah "Jed" Bartlet was played by Martin Sheen, who won a Golden Globe for his performance. The show was created by Aaron Sorkin.
8. Riesling
Answer: White wine
Riesling is a type of grape. When ripe, they are light green, and white wine is made from them. Qualities of a Riesling wine are highly determined by where the grapes are grown. Wine connoisseurs say that German Rieslings have apple notes, Austrian Rieslings have peach notes, and Australian Rieslings have lime notes.
9. Vulpes lagopus
Answer: White fox
Vulpes lagopus is known as the white fox, polar fox, or snow fox. This little guy is barely ten inches high, weighing on average about seven pounds, but he is very hardy, as he has thick fur to keep him warm in the freezing Arctic regions where he lives. He can also detect his prey buried deep in the snow, and will dig down quickly to retrieve it.
10. New York
Answer: White Plains
White Plains is a city just north of New York City. It has been an industrial and productive city for many years, and is the headquarters for many Fortune 500 companies. Notable White Plains residents include Mark Zuckerberg, Sun Myung Moon, and Joseph Campbell.
