Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In this popular pastime you're likely to hear the terms point, blot and die. Name it.

Answer: backgammon

A point is one of those narrow triangles on the backgammon board. A blot is an unprotected man and a die (singular of dice) is what you throw to determine who goes first.

2. In this game, you might hear a player talking about a worm burner, frozen rope or Grand Salami. What game would you be playing?

Answer: baseball

A worm burner is a hard hit ground ball, a frozen rope is a line drive and The Grand Salami is slang for a grand slam home run.

3. While shuffling a deck of cards, table talk might come around to such terms as flush, straight and peg. What game would you be dealing?

Answer: Cribbage

Like poker, cribbage also awards points for a straight or flush. Only you'd peg 8 for your double run in cribbage.

4. If you could hear over the noise, you might hear a team mate talking about the foul line, split or turkey. What's your game?

Answer: bowling

If you cross the foul line (a line at the head of the alley) after a turkey (three straight strikes) and picking up a tough split (when two pins remain on opposite sides of the alley), you're bowling.

5. While playing this outdoor sport, you'd no doubt hear the other players talking about traps, drives and yards. Name the game.

Answer: football

It could be golf if that were one of the choices. However, in football, a trap is a running play, a drive is a series of successful plays and yards are the measurement of progress.

6. This game uses the terms pelota, cesta and fronton. Bet you can get this one.

Answer: jai-alai

From the Basque region of Spain, jai-alai is a popular betting sport. The pelota is the ball, the cesta the basket in which the ball is caught and the fronton is the court on which the game is played.

7. You'd have no trouble hearing the referee use the terms in, out and let if you were playing this game. Can you name it?

Answer: tennis

A ball in play is in, a ball that lands outside the court is out and a let is when the ball grazes the net on a serve but still lands in the opponent's court.

8. In this game, one you might've played, you heard the terms chance, iron and bank. What game were you playing?

Answer: Monopoly

Chance is that stack of orange cards, the iron is a playing piece and the bank is the player who handles the money.

9. In this game, you'd be thinking about a king, a queen and a tableau. What game would you be pondering?

Answer: solitaire

The arrangement of cards in play is called the tableau - the black queen on red king, red jack on black queen and so on.

10. This popular poker game involves the flop, fourth street and the river. What game would you be playing?

Answer: Texas Hold 'Em

A real game of strategy and bluffing, Texas Hold 'Em is now wildly popular due to its exposure on TV. Each player is dealt two cards face down. The next three cards (the flop) are dealt face up, as is a fourth card (fourth street) and a fifth (the river). These five, face up cards are community cards for all players.
