Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hobbies Mabel sniffed. "Horace left, but he left me some frozen food, cooked by himself. He did write the names of the dishes on the boxes, but they mean nothing to me. I'm looking for a meal without onions, because I hate them." Are you able to help Mabel?

Answer: Banoffee pie

Her friend Martha could help. "Bifes de cebolada is a Portuguese onion stew with beef. Pissaladi�re is something French resembling a Focaccia bread. It's made with onions, black olives and anchovies. Zwiebelkuchen is a German quiche, made with masses of onions, ham and cream. But the Banoffee pie should be ok. It is a pie with banana, cream and toffee."

2. Music Mabel sighed. "He took away all my records and CDs. He only left me with a self-made cassette tape. And all he wrote on this tape are the song titles and "Best of 1966". Now who sang "There Goes My Everything" in 1966?

Answer: Jack Greene

Peter lifted an eyebrow. "Mabel, don't you know that Jack Greene had a number one record with that song in 1966? Your lack of musical knowledge is surprising. "

Peter Noone was the singer of Herman Hermit's. Barry White and Mabel King also had great songs to offer.

3. Movies Mabel dropped some DVDs on the table. All in a white cover, with the titles written on them. "They are all James Bond movies. There is one with Pierce Brosnan, I would love to keep this. But which is the right one?"

Answer: Die Another Day

Roger looked through the collection. "Roger Moore was in "Live and Let Die". "Licence to Kill" had Timothy Dalton playing Mr Bond. "Quantum of Solace", that's Daniel Craig. That leaves you with "Die Another Day", Brosnan's last Bond, from 2002."

4. Sports Mabel looked skeptical at the signed soccer ball (football). "Horace bought this on E-bay. He was told that it was signed after the 1966 FIFA World Cup by all six players of the winning German team. The seller told him that they won the title against Spain." Yes, Mabel had more than one reason to doubt these "facts". What is the only true point of the given information?

Answer: 1966 was a FIFA World Cup year

Mia grinned. "Your Horace wasn't an expert in this field, I gather. The only true thing is that there was a FIFA World Cup in 1966. But it was England against Germany and England won. Each soccer team has eleven players on the field."

5. World Mabel rolled up a blue flag with a yellow cross. "Horace was on a camping trip in Scandinavia once. He brought this back. It is the Norwegian flag". Is this really the Norwegian flag?

Answer: No

Agnetha looked surprised. "Come on, this is the Swedish flag. You have seen it often enough at IKEA. Norway's flag is red, with a blue cross having a white fringe."

6. Geography Mabel jumped as a little bird popped out of a clock. "Why did he forget his cuckoo clock? I never liked it. His parents bought it as a present for him while traveling in the Black Forest. Where is this Black Forest anyway?" Can you tell Mabel the country?

Answer: Germany

Heidi gave her the information. "The Black Forest is in Baden-Wuerttemberg. That's in the south western part of Germany. You might have eaten a black forest g�teau once. But I just took a look at the clock. It is made in China, a moon cake would be more fitting."

7. Entertainment Mabel skimmed the pages of some comic books. "Good grief, kids playing baseball, a boy with a security blanket and a dog with a little bird on a dog house. Not my style!" What comic strip is Mabel talking about?

Answer: Peanuts

Linus was shocked. "Mabel, you don't like "Peanuts"? They have been around since 1950, Charles M. Schulz did a real masterstroke. I always felt sorry for Charlie Brown and his baseball team, I was named after Linus -the one with a security blanket- and the dog Snoopy and his little bird friend Woodstock are adorable. You can give the comic books to me, if you don't want them!"

8. Celebrities/People- and a little bit of History Mabel fanned herself with an autograph. "It's quite old. Horace's father got it from an actress, when she performed in 1954 in Korea to the soldiers. He was simply smitten by "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". Who is she talking about?

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

Norma looked astonished at the picture with an autograph on it. "Why, it's Marilyn! I didn't know that Horace's Dad was stationed in Korea after the war. MM visited the troops in Korea in 1954. You should return this to the old man. Knowing Horace, he must have pocketed it without asking."

All the wrong ladies were born in 1954. It took some time until they started acting.

9. Animals (here's the most important sub-category: Cats') Mabel was shocked. "Horace took Arabella's brush with him. What does he need a cat brush for? He is bald. But considering Arabella's breed, she needs a brush!" Which kind of cat breed could Arabella possible be?

Answer: Maine Coon

Catriona removed some cat hair from her pullover. "I've got an extra one. You can have it. After all, a Maine Coon needs regular brushing. Not like those naked Sphynx cats or an Abyssinian or Siamese cat with their short haired fur. I suppose it is pure spite of Horace. He never forgave what Arabella did to his cuckoo clock."

10. Literature Mabel nearly broke down, when she picked up a massive book titled "Birds of America" "The pictures of the birds are nice, but it is heavy and about 200 years old. Horace said I can use it as I want to, even sell it. But who would buy this?" Who released "Birds of America"?

Answer: John James Audubon

Polly couldn't believe her eyes. "Why, it is a first edition in perfect condition. Audubon published these kind of books between 1827-1838. What you have here is a so-called "Double Elephant Folio". They are big! On 20 January 2012 such a complete copy of the first edition was sold at New York's Christie's for $7.9 million! Believe me Mabel, you are now able to start a very comfortable new life!"
