Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Charlie's teacher got a bit confused this week. He wants Charlie to find a book about Scheherazade and the Round Table. Can you help?

Answer: The Thousand and One Knights

Scheherazade is famed for "The Thousand and One Nights" so with the Round Table, the teacher ended up with "knights" instead.

2. English class beckons Charlie. Somehow his teacher thinks that Shakespeare wrote a horror play. Can you help find it?

Answer: A Midsummer Night's Scream

Shakespeare wrote "A Midsummer Night's Dream" which fits the question.

3. Modern literature -- and the teacher is more than a bit confused. He wants Charlie to get a book by John Irving about a U.S. Marshal in the Wild West! Can you find it?

Answer: The World According to Earp

John Irving did write "The World According to Garp" though he probably did not have Wyatt Earp in it.

Answer: The Poultrygeist

William Roll is the author we can thank for the Poltergeist books ... thankfully not for the movies!

Answer: The Inventor of Nickelcillin

Alexander Fleming was awarded the Nobel Prize for isolating penicillin. With inflation, it is probably nickelcillin by now!

6. French class -- and the teacher must have been hungry! When discussing the history of New Orleans, he told the students to get this book ...

Answer: The Croissant City

New Orlean's nickname is "The Crescent City" -- likely from the oxbow of the Mississippi which cradles it.

Answer: The Laurel and Hardy Boys

Franklin W. Dixon was the Stratemeyer Syndicate's name for writers of the "Hardy Boys" books. Laurel and Hardy were a famous comedy team (gosh I feel old!)

8. English again -- and Charlie is not really sure what his teacher had for lunch! Probably an orange, he decides. In any case Charlie is told to get a book by Coleridge. Can you help?

Answer: The Rind of the Ancient Mariner

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Coleridge has been a staple of English classes for many years. If the teacher had eaten an orange, he possibly had rind on the mind!

9. Literature! Ugh! Charlie winced as his slightly confused teacher asked him to get Shakespeare's play about New Zealanders in England. What play did Charlie need?

Answer: The Maori Wives of Windsor

New Zealand natives, the Maoris, would have made quite a scene in Elizabethan England. Not to mention in Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor."

10. Oh no! The biology teacher has just read Dan Brown's novel when he was supposed to be teaching about viruses. What book did poor Charlie get sent to find?

Answer: The DaVinci Cold

Dan Brown wrote "The DaVinci Code" which has set many sales records.
