Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. You wish to deliver a man to another address; what kind of container do you put him in to await pick up? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Answer: malebox

Mail goes in the mailbox, but men go in the malebox - get it? Maybe for women it would be a femalebox.

2. What do you call an unidentified woman who works in a bakery? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Answer: Jane Dough

Jane Doe = Jane Dough. The names Jane Doe and John Doe are names given either to those who wish to remain anonymous or those who are unidentified in law or journalism. Believe it or not, the anonymous name John Doe dates back to the 1300s.

3. What is a seaworthy vessel that you can buy cheaper than usual? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Sailboat = Saleboat. It's a boat on sale!

4. If you were to hit me with a steak in a large Missouri city, what am I asking you to do? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Answer: Meat Me in St Louis

"Meet Me in St. Louis", a film released in 1945 starring Judy Garland, told the story of four sisters who must reluctantly move from St. Louis to New York, right before the 1904 World's Fair. Too bad it wasn't in Kansas City, for the tastiest steaks!

5. What do you call a breeze that will become king someday? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Heir apparent = air apparent. The term "heir apparent" is usually used today to describe those royals in immediate line for the throne of their monarchy, such as Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.

6. What could you call a frosted layered dessert that's made out of gold? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Carrot cake = carat cake. Maybe you would serve this to celebrate a 50-year anniversary, which is commonly known as the Golden Anniversary.

7. The Sheriff of Nottingham's nemesis and his group of wedding followers are called what? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.

Goldilocks = Goldilox. Lox is thinly sliced salt-cured and/or smoked salmon (depending on where in the world you are consuming it), often accompanying bagels. The Scandinavian dish gradlax (gravadlax, grav lax) is similar. And I bet the bears would have eaten that intruder for sure.

10. What is a bit of a puzzle that's lying on terra firma, especially at Christmastime? Remember, use the clue to figure out a common word or phrase, then replace one of the words (or part of a word) with a homophone.
