Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Arc de Triomphe

The Arc de Triomphe is a monument located at a large junction of roads known as the 'Place de l'Etoile' or the Place Charles de Gaulle. The Arc is designed to honor those that fought for France in the Napoleonic and French Revolutionary wars; it also houses the World War I Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

It was designed by Jean Chalgrin and includes shields engraved with the names of major military victories, and the inside walls include over 600 names of soldiers who died in battles for France.

Answer: Trafalgar Square

Trafalgar Square is a major tourist destination and transportation hub in the Charing Cross area of London. The National Gallery and Charing Cross Road sit at the north of the Square, St. Martin-in-the-Fields church lies to the east, and Whitehall is to the south. If Betty wants to get to Buckingham Palace, she needs to pass under Admiralty Arch in the south-west corner of the Square and travel down The Mall, at the other end of which stands the building she is looking for.

Answer: Trevi Fountain

The iconography of the Trevi Fountain dates back to 19 BC, where legend says that a young girl led Roman soldiers to a water source they desperately needed; the source of this water began Rome's aqueduct system, which the city was able to rely upon for over 400 years. Those that visit the fountain can make a wish by tossing a coin with their right hand over their left shoulder into the fountain.

Answer: Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa building was built to be the tallest skyscraper in the world, at a staggering 2,722 feet tall. There is an amazing fountain in the waters that encompass the grounds, as well as an observation deck on the 124th floor with a panoramic view of Dubai.

Answer: Harajuku

The Harajuku district of Tokyo is near the Meiji Shrine and stretches from Harajuku Station to Omotesando avenue in the Shibuya ward. It is the epicenter of Japanese youth fashion and culture, while also serving as a fantastic place to grab dinner.

Answer: Sydney Harbour Bridge

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is also frequently referred to as 'the Coathanger' because of its shape. The bridge opened in 1932 and celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2002. Nowadays, tourists can even climb the catwalks, ladders, and stairs to gain a phenomenal view from the very top of the bridge.

Answer: Robben Island

The name 'Robben Island' is Dutch for 'seal island' and was the home to the notorious prison that housed former President Nelson Mandela, former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe, and hundreds of other political prisoners and convicted criminals.

The island has previously been used as a leper colony, animal quarantine station, a fortified armory, and is presently a tourist attraction reached by taking the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront ferry.

Answer: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

If Betty had arrived in Buenos Aires, as planned, she would have planned on visiting Plaza de Mayo, La Recoleta Cemetery, and the Obelisco de Buenos Aires. In Rio, however, Betty will spend her days at the Copacabana beach, Ipanema beach, Sugarloaf mountain, and viewing 'Cristo Redentor' (aka Christ the Redeemer) atop Corcovado mountain.

Answer: Chrysler

While its insides are made of steel, it is the tallest brick building in the world. The building began in September, 1928, and the project moved at such a speedy pace that they were able to complete 4 floors each week. Amazingly, no construction workers were reported to have died during the skyscraper's construction.

The building has a long history of battling for the coveted 'word's tallest building' title, although it was only in the top position for 11 months before being dethroned by the Empire State Building.

Answer: Coit Tower

Coit Tower was built at the bequest of Lilli Hitchcock Coit, a well-known volunteer firefighter committed to the beautification of San Francisco. The tower was used with a portion of the funds her estate left to the city. There are several murals, a rotunda, and a panoramic view of the city that includes Lombard Street, Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, Pier 39, the Bay Bridge and Nob Hill.
