Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What hobby links actor Omar Sharif, computer giant Bill Gates, and billionaire investor Warren Buffett?

Answer: Playing contract bridge

Omar Sharif actually wrote bridge columns that appeared in newspapers across the country; he even stipulated that the sets of films he was making had to have a table and three other players ready to play between scenes. Warren Buffett has also been a regular at bridge tournaments for years; he was the one who turned Bill Gates onto the game, and Gates has played on teams with some of the top players in the world.

Answer: Cypriot

Souvlakia are small pieces of meat, normally pork or chicken, that are cooked over charcoal on skewers. Sheftalia are made using highly-seasoned minced meat wrapped in caul fat, the membrane that surrounds the stomach of lamb or pig, and cooked over charcoal. Halloumi is soft cheese made with goat milk and loukaniko is a Cypriot sausage.

3. You are watching a TV cooking show and the chef instructs you to "rotate the pan halfway through the baking". Why should you do this?

Answer: so the dish cooks evenly

Most conventional convection ovens are warmer toward the back. Rotating the baking dish will help the side towards the cooler part get turned to the warmer part.

Answer: the angler whose catch weighs the most

7. Many quilts are made from a specific color palette and the quilter buys the fabrics for that specific project. What is the name for the type of quilt made from fabric left over from other projects?

Answer: scrap quilt

Color theory is often used in the design of a good quilt. Sometimes you use colors from opposite sides of the color wheel like red, and green; or purple, and yellow. Sometimes you might choose several shades or tones of one color such as light to dark blue. You might also choose to use colors next to each other on the color wheel such as green, blue and purple; or red, orange and yellow.
