Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Laughing
Answer: :-D
Colon, dash , capital 'D'.
This is a very simple one. The colon represents eyes, the dash is a nose, and the capital 'D' is a laughing mouth.
2. Sticking tongue out
Answer: :-P
Colon, dash, capital 'P'.
A colon for the eyes, a dash for the nose, and a capital 'P' for the tongue sticking out. You could make this one look cheekier by changing the eyes to a semi colon, so it looks as though the person is winking, which would be ;-P
3. Crying
Answer: :*(
Colon, asterisk, left bracket.
For this one, you have a colon for the eyes, followed by an asterisk to represent the tears, and a left bracket to represent an unhappy mouth.
4. Angel
Answer: O :-)
Capital 'O',space, colon, dash, right bracket.
The capital 'O' is the angel's halo, followed by a space and the usual colon (eyes), dash (nose) and right bracket (mouth) for a smiling face.
5. Abraham Lincoln
Answer: =):-)=
'Equals' sign, right bracket, colon, dash, right bracket, 'equals' sign.
This one's a bit more complicated and really does need to be viewed sideways.

6. Wearing sunnies
Answer: 8-)

The figure 8 is, of course, the sun glasses covering the eyes, followed by the dash (nose) and right bracket (mouth).
7. Wearing lipstick

Colon, dash, curly brackets.
A colon (eyes), a dash (nose) and curly brackets to make the 'mouth' look big and curvy, as though it has lots of lipstick on it!
8. Wearing a turban
Answer: @:-)
@ sign, colon, dash, right bracket.
The '@" sign represents the turban, followed by the usual eyes, nose and mouth symbols. You could possibly add a beard to this one, if you used a '>', so it would then look like this : @:-)>
9. Kissing
Answer: :-X
Colon, dash, capital 'X'.
A colon (eyes), a dash (nose) and a capital 'X' to look like lips all puckered up for a kiss.
10. Wearing a hat and bow tie
