Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Roughly how many episodes of Ally McBeal would you have to sit and watch to burn off one Big Mac?

Answer: 8

You burn off around 80 calories an hour just sitting, so that's 7-8 hours of the legal twig for a 580 calorie Big Mac. Why bother exercising?

Answer: 13 hours

10 litres is 4000 calories, and you burn off around 300 calories an hour gardening. Obviously, after 10 litres of Bud, this assumes you can see well enough to hold the spade.

3. If you're sitting watching "Terms of Endearment" you'll certainly need some ice cream to cheer you up. About how much can you eat and just about break even?

Answer: 1/8th gallon

Its 2 hours 12 minutes long, and a gallon of ice cream's about 1400 calories. Of course if you don't like slushy films, you may lose the calories entirely.

4. A word of advice: never eat 100 dried figs in one go. If you do, you'll have to play golf for this long.

Answer: 32 hours

Apparently golf only burns around 150 calories an hour, and 100 dried figs equals 4750 calories, so that's 32 hours of golf. Heaven preserve us.

5. True or False: climbing Mount Everest will only burn off 5 jammy dougnuts?

Answer: False

Of course its false, don't be ridiculous.

6. If you swim the English Channel, how many slices of French Toast can you have when you get there?

Answer: 53

About 15 hours swimming equals 8200 calories, so with French toast at 155 calories a slice, you can eat with impugnity.

7. After 3 hours hard shopping, there's nothing better than relaxing with a bowl of breaded scallops. How many can you have?

Answer: 28

6 scallops are around 195 calories, and shopping burns around 300 calories an hour. So don't hold back - go scallop crazy.

8. If Winnie the Pooh went waterskiing for 1 hour, how much honey could he eat (assuming human physiology)?

Answer: 6 tablespoons

Honey is 65 calories per tablespoon, and waterskiing burns about 420 calories an hour. Note: the above are based on human exercise rates, and its perfectly possible that a cuddly toy bear wouldn't burn calories at the same rate, but I think that anyone who picks up on this is being pernickety.

9. How much Racquetball would William Tell need to play to burn off 2 pounds of Swiss cheese?

Answer: 6 hours

Swiss cheese is 105 calories the ounce, and racquetball burns 600 calories an hour. Possibly this explains why the Swiss are not known as a nation of great Racquetball players. Or possibly not.

10. Most of the world loves football (apart from America, Canada and Australia, who call it soccer). Lots of people like soy sauce. How many tablespoons of soy sauce for an hour of football?

Answer: 54

Football burns 540 calories an hour, and a tablespoon of soy sauce is a trim 10 calories. Surprisingly, few diets recommend eating soy sauce exclusively.
