AN ODD VISUAL QUIZ
Here’s a little quiz based on random questions I’ve had over the past few weeks. You can see how my mind wanders. Pretty scary.
 |
1. Do you recognize this singer? |
 |
2. Do you know this seed’s name? |
 |
3. What is this state? |
 |
4. Do you recognize this author? |
 |
5. Do you know what the two dots over the letter are called? |
 |
6. What is this greenish-yellow called? |
 |
7. What kind of pocketbook is this? |
 |
8. What is this type of animation called? |
 |
9. What is this tool used for? |
 |
10. What holiday is celebrated on March 31st? |
Did you know or did you guess? Here are the answers below.
 |
1. Roy Orbison—before he started wearing his trademark dark glasses. |
| |
2. Mustard seed. They are the small round seeds of various mustard plants. The seeds are usually about 1 or 2 mm in diameter. |
 |
3. Now do you recognize it? (Okay, so I had it upside down.) |
 |
4. Harper Lee. Published in 1960, To Kill a Mockingbird was her first book and won the Pulitzer Prize. Fifty-five years later, at 88, she’s publishing her second book–a sequel to her first. |

5. Umlaut. It indicates a special pronunciation. |
 |
6. Chartreuse. |
 |
7. It’s a hat, not a pocketbook. |
 |
8. Anime. They’re Japanese animated productions. |
 |
9. Here’s a modern-day version. It’s a cherry-pitter. |
 |
10. Bunsen Burner Day celebrates the birthday of its creator, German chemist Robert Wilhelm Eberhard von Bunsen. |

The Conversation
Well, I tried to leave a comment but couldn’t get past the door. I got only one—the umlaut. Definitely not with it, these days. Actually, I got Nebraska, even upside down.
: )
I am most impressed by Harper Lee who decided to put her second novel out at age 88. Hope for me yet!
Hi Clarice,
that was v-e-r-r-y interesting. I think I had chartreuse right. I think it’s amazing that Harper Lee is wring a sequel to her book after 55 years and at age 88. maybe there’s still hope after all!!

Those were my words exactly about Harper Lee! I want to re-read Mockingbird before I read her new one.
Well Clarice…the handbag I thought was called a bucket…now the bucket turns out to be a hat. The world is mad, mad I tell you.
The pocketbook hat was conservative compared to what I saw online! I agree, madness reigns.
I got 4. The Brits wear hats that make the bucket look normal! 🙂
Oops! I got 5! Forgot Bunsen!
I only got 2. Hmmmm.

Well it was really a silly and stilted quiz. Obviously, since those were the questions that popped into my head over the past week or so, that means I didn’t know any of them. (Okay, except the pocketbook one I found on Google.)
