Sometimes used to indicate weight, an octothorpe is also known as ....? Correct Answer: Number, Hash or Pound Sign (#) - You were correct. (77.1084% got it correct ) In most regions of the United States, the symbol is traditionally called the pound sign, but in others, the number sign. In Canada, the symbol is traditionally referred to as the number sign while in Britain it is known as the hash sign. In fact, major telephone equipment manufacturers, such as Nortel, have an option in their programming to indicate Canadian Pronunciation, which in turn instructs the system to say "Number Sign" to callers instead of "Pound Sign". 2. The cornucopia is a symbol for what American holiday? Correct Answer: Thanksgiving - You were correct. (88.9535% got it correct ) The cornucopia (better know as the "horn of plenty"), is frequently used as a symbol for Thanksgiving in the United States. The traditional cornucopia was used at harvest time. It was carved from a goat's horn and filled with fruit and grains. 3. Which of these colours does not appear in the rainbow? Correct Answer: Pink - You were correct. (84.4538% got it correct ) There is a way to remember the colours of the rainbow: Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet). 4. Dutch Masters, Montecristo, and Dunhill are all brands of which of these options? Correct Answer: Cigars - You were correct. (94.1176% got it correct ) These companies all manufacture cigars. Dunhill Cigars were based in London from 1982-1991. Montecristo is a premium cigar produced originally in Cuba. Dutch Masters is an American brand of wrapped cigar that has been sold stateside since 1911. 5. Which letter is not also a Roman numeral for a whole number? Correct Answer: S - You were correct. (92.6027% got it correct ) Roman numerals include I for 1, C for 100, D for 500, X for 10, M for 1000, L for 50, and V for 5. S is not a Roman numeral for a whole number, although it is sometimes used to represent 1/2. Let's suppose you wish to write 402 in Roman numerals. To write 400, you write CD, since 400 is 100 less than 500 and CD means take 100 away from 500. I is equal to 1, so two Is would be equal to 2. Since I is less than D or C, it is written to the right of CD. Therefore, CDII is how you write 402 in Roman numerals. 6. What do an attitude of optimism toward an economic market, the Lakota medicine man who inspired the Battle of Little Bighorn, and a globally-marketed energy drink have in common? Correct Answer: bull - You were correct. (92.0904% got it correct ) Investors and analysts who predict and anticipate improvement in a market are described as bullish; those with a pessimistic outlook as bearish. Statistically, such market attitudes are often wrong. Sitting Bull (1831-1890) was a Hunkpapa Lakota holy man and chief. He was the spiritual leader of the band of Indians attacked by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer at Little Bighorn. Although Sitting Bull did not participate in the killing of Custer's troops, he encouraged it. Red Bull was created by a Thai/Austrian company in 1987 and grew to be the best selling energy drink in the world in 2013. Its marketing slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings." Despite the athletic hype, Red Bull (like most energy drinks) contains large amount of caffeine and sugar. 7. What word connects the nicknames for both wrestler/actor Dwayne Johnson and Alcatraz? Correct Answer: Rock - You were incorrect (96.6867% got it correct ) Dwayne Johnson is more popularly known as The Rock from his professional wrestling days. Alcatraz also has the nickname the Rock because of its location on a rocky island. 8. Which Christmas character lives on Mt. Crumpit? Correct Answer: The Grinch - You were incorrect (87.7256% got it correct ) In the television animated film from 1966 "How the Grinch Stole Christmas", the Grinch lives in a cave on Mt. Crumpit with his dog Max. Mt. Crumpit overlooks Whoville where the tiny Whos live. 9. In pre-literate times symbols on signs were just the ticket, e.g the barber pole, the mortar & pestle, and eyeglasses. What kind of shop used three brass balls? Correct Answer: a pawn shop - You were incorrect (75.0903% got it correct ) Pawnshops were often the "poor man's bank." The Medici name has been associated with banking since the Renaissance and the coat of arms of the House of Medici included a number of balls. Though the coat of arms used to have them in gold, pawn shops went with the more suitable (and cheaper) brass. 10. Which Irish band might also be used to make a sauce for Christmas? Correct Answer: The Cranberries - You were correct. (96.0993% got it correct ) The Cranberries are an Irish band from Limerick. Their single "Zombie" released in 1994 has now had over one billion hits on YouTube. "Zombie" is a protest song about the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington.
