Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We'll start with the shortest "tail" for which there are actually at least four "cat" words. Which of these CATs would, apart from its other meanings, also be a term for a four-pip playing card or die face?
2. Growing our tail to three letters, which of these CATs is a positively charged atom or molecule?
3. Four-letter tails give us more options, so which of these CATs would you find in medicine as an inflammation of a mucous membrane?
4. Five-letter tails are even more numerous, so which of these CATs is a burial place or underground cemetery?
5. We're getting to a quite respectable tail at six letters, which of these CATs is a ship or boat with two hulls?
6. Our next CAT, with a seven-letter tail, isn't religious (although it could be mistaken that way) but a synonym for the word "panacea". Which one is it?
7. As longer tails become increasingly uncommon, we progress to the next CAT which refers to the most opposite point on (usually) a rectangle compared to a current reference. Which is it?
8. Nine-letter tails are hard to come by but which of these CATs refers to a process used in analytical chemistry, involving a gel and an electric field?
9. We've arrived at the penultimate stage of tail growth. Our ten-letter-tailed CAT is an adverb describing a state of stupor, often encountered in patients with schizophrenia. What's its name?
10. We can't do any better than an eleven-letter tail if we wish to still have at least four legitimate words available (and even then we have to resort to using a plural form). Which of these CATs is a class of adrenal hormones in the human body?
