Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. So you want to surf the web and know you need to choose an internet browser to get online. Which of the following options is not an internet browser?

Answer: Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a computer program that allows you make spreadsheets, not access the internet. Other internet browsers include Safari and Opera.

2. You were on Funtrivia in 2012 and you wanted to post a link to one of these quizzes on the social media website whose logo was a little blue bird. What was the name of the site at that time?

Answer: Twitter

In 2022, Elon Musk purchased Twitter and renamed it X shortly thereafter. The classic little blue bird logo was replaced with an X. Retweets were renamed reposts. The purchase was controversial for many reasons, including Musk's mass layoffs, a decrease in content moderation and controversial statements made by Musk.

Despite the name change, the website is still commonly referred to as Twitter.

Answer: Refresh

Refreshing the page is an easy way to check for news updates without having to type in the domain name all over again. It is usually located right next to the search bar on the top of the screen. You can also hit the F5 button on your keyboard.

4. While on Facebook, you see someone advertising her new vlog. You know what a blog is, but which of the following descriptions best describes a vlog?

Answer: Like a blog but someone is speaking in a video

Vlogs are common on YouTube. Essentially, a blog is a written account about any subject. A vlog is similar, although it features someone who has made a video and orally/visually presents their account or story rather than writing it out.

Answer: Check your email

You check your email and find he just sent you more pictures of cats eating cheeseburgers. How exciting.

Answer: The Sims

The Sims made its debut in February 2000. Since then it has had countless expansion packs and versions that each add a new element of fun, new features and difficulty to the game.

Answer: F7

F7 is traditionally the spellcheck button on PCs. In addition to checking for spelling, it also checks for grammar and wordiness among other things.

8. You have written a paper for your professor and you decide it will be easier to email it to him. While writing the email, what symbol should you click on to add your paper as an attachment?

Answer: Paper Clip

After clicking the paper clip, select the correct document and hit add to attach the paper. You may have to convert your document to a different format if required.

Answer: Solitaire

I quite often find myself distracted by solitaire, particularly by changing the images on the deck of cards. You can find most other card games online for free, but of the four choices, only solitaire is designed for just one person without the need of the computer player.

Answer: Because your computer sometimes installs updates when you shut it down properly

Without the necessary updates, you may find your computer lagging and incompatible with newer software. You will not lose your work if you just flip the switch, as long as you saved it somewhere first.
