Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which tiger has been the face of Frosties breakfast cereal (Frosted Flakes in North America) since 1952?

Answer: Tony

The animation team behind Tony also designed the Jolly Green Giant as well as another Kellogg's breakfast icon, the trio of elves that are Snap, Crackle and Pop.
Tony's famous catchphrase of "They're grrrrreat!" was voiced by Thurl Ravenscroft who was best known for singing the song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the Chuck Jones TV movie, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" (1966).
2. The Tigers is the nickname of which national cricket team, who played their first test match in 2000 against India?

Answer: Bangladesh

The Bangladesh Tigers have been playing international cricket since 1979, when they played their first One Day International (ODI) but weren't given full International Cricket Council (ICC) membership until 2000.
They lost their first test match by nine wickets and didn't record their first test win until 2005, when they beat Zimbabwe by 226 runs.
3. What is the name of the tiger in Yann Martel's novel "Life of Pi" (2001)?

Answer: Richard Parker

Martel's wonderful novel concerns young Piscine Patel, known as Pi, who is cast adrift in a lifeboat on a voyage from India to Canada, with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan named Orange Juice and Richard Parker for company.
In 2012, the novel was made into a film, directed by Ang Lee and starring Suraj Sharma in his movie debut. The film was nominated for 11 Oscars, and walked away with four, including Best Director for Lee.
4. Which Tiger can be found stalking his prey on the fairways of Augusta?

Answer: Woods

Eldrick "Tiger" Woods is regarded as one of the greatest golfers ever, and won the Masters tournament, held at Augusta, Georgia five times between 1997 and 2019, as well as finishing in the top ten a further nine times,
Between August 1999 and October 2010, Woods was ranked world number one for an incredible 553 weeks, his run only interrupted by Vijay Singh who spent 32 weeks as number one.
5. In 1959, which fuel company advised that you should, "Put a tiger in your tank"?

Answer: Esso

The tiger first appeared as a mascot for Esso in Norway at the start of the 20th century, but then disappeared during World War I. When the ban on fuel advertising was lifted following WWII, Esso brought the tiger back to help sales of Esso Extra.
When Esso changed their name to Exxon Mobil they changed the cartoon tiger for a real one along with the advertising line, "We're changing our name, but not our stripes."
Exxon Mobil donate over $1 million a year to the Save the Tiger Fund, which helps conserve the remaining wild tigers in Asia.
6. In which series of books would we find a tiger who spells his name, "T-I-double-Guh-Er"?

Answer: Winnie the Pooh

Tigger loves bouncing, in fact "bouncing is what Tiggers do best", according to him, but it can get annoying, especially for friend, Rabbit or even be dangerous as Eeyore found to his cost when Tigger bounced him into the river.
Tigger didn't appear in the first book in the series, "Winnie-the-Pooh" (1926), only appearing in the sequel, "The House at Pooh Corner" (1928) but has gone on to be one of the most loved of A.A. Milne's characters.
7. Which English rugby union team, European champions in 2001 and 2002, have been known as the Tigers since 1885?

Answer: Leicester

Leicester Societies AFC, Leicester Amateur FC and Leicester Alert merged in 1880 to form Leicester Rugby Club, and playing in all black, they were known as "The Death or Glory Boys."
Between 1884 and 1887, the team played in a chocolate and orange strip and it is thought that the "tigers" nickname is derived from this, although it may also have links to the Leicestershire Infantry Regiment, who in 1825 were given a tiger badge, to mark their long service in India.
Since 1895, Leicester have played in a strip of green, white and red stripes, but they are still known throughout the rugby world as the Tigers.
8. "Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night" are the opening lines to "The Tyger" (1794), a poem by which poet?

Answer: William Blake

Blake's 1794 poem is surely one of the best known poems ever and was originally included in his collection, "Songs of Experience" (1794). It has been made into a song several times, including by German band Tangerine Dream and former bassist for Public Image Ltd, Jah Wobble.
Another of Blake's poems, "And did those feet in ancient time" (1808) had music added by Sir Hubert Parry in 1916 and is today better known as the hymn and perennial Last Night of the Proms favourite, "Jerusalem".
9. "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is well known as the theme song to the movie "Rocky III" (1982), but it was also the theme song to which 1986 movie starring Gary Busey?

Answer: Eye of the Tiger

The "Eye of the Tiger" movie was a fairly forgettable film about a Vietnam veteran who turns vigilante to save his hometown from a biker gang.
The song, "Eye of the Tiger" (1982) on the other hand is one that many wish they could forget as it seemed to be played everywhere in the early 80s, reaching number one on the music charts of 14 countries on the back of Sylvester Stallone's successful "Rocky III" movie.
It has also been used without permission by Republican presidential candidates, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee, with all three men being forced to stop using it and Gingrich and Huckabee settling, out of court, lawsuits brought by Survivor.
10. In the Disney movie, "The Jungle Book" (1967), who refused to let go of the tail of Shere Khan the tiger, saying, "Are you kidding, there's teeth in the other end"?

Answer: Baloo

The scene described is when Shere Khan, voiced by George Sanders, is trying to attack Mowgli, only to be foiled by Baloo (Phil Harris) and the unforgettable, Beatle-esque vultures, Flaps, Dizzie and Ziggy.
Sanders played many great parts in his career, including Benjamin Ballon in the second "Pink Panther" movie, "A Shot in the Dark" in which he played brilliantly opposite Peter Sellers, and Addison DeWitt in "All About Eve" (1950) for which he won an Oscar.
He is also remembered for being the husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor between 1949 and 1954, and her elder sister, Magda, between 1970 and 1971.
