Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Lip reading

Although he is a DCI he didn't actually tell me of a case like that. I actually saw it in an episode of 'Kojak', but he might have told me about it had he not signed the Official Secrets Act. Labiomancy, however, is lip reading and comes from the Latin 'labia' meaning lip and 'mancy' from the old Greek meaning divination.

Answer: Rabbit

Labtebricole means living in holes, and of the four choices I believe rabbits are the only ones that do. Wouldn't like to fall down a cow hole....anyway...

Answer: Sauna

Laconicum is indeed an old Greek sauna, from the town of Laconia where the Spartans were from. Needless to say...I didn't stay long...not falling for that one again.

Lekvar is a sweet spread made from apricots or prunes. It comes from the Hungarian meaning jam.
