OK, here are the answers to the Christa quiz I posted a few days ago… If you haven’t taken the quiz yet, and would like to, go to this post and download it before reviewing the answers below.  Everyone is on the honor system and must grade your own quiz.  No cheating!  So far (other than my astounding 20 for 20 score) the high score is 15 out of 20.

Without further adieu, here are the answers, with a brief explanation (where necessary):

1. C – Two sisters and one brother (April, Alycia, and Peter)
2. B – 1974 (Born a mere 3 months after me…)
3. B – Roberts
4. False – The said wrestling match happened between Christa and her younger sister, Alycia.
5. A – Cross country and soccer.
6. C – Whimper (Not to be confused with another favorite family pet, Puffy.
7. A – Washington
8. A – Northwest College (The school was in the process of converting to a University when she graduated so B is also an acceptable answer…according the judge.)
9. B – France and Albania.
10. D – At Christmas, planning yearly nativity performances and forcing her siblings and cousins to participate.
11. C – At the Yin Long Hotel in the Xining city center.
12. A – Attending Christian camps
13. B – NKOTB (Hangin’ Tough!)
14. B – Cimarron, CO
15. True – In America Jif is a peanut butter.  In Europe Jif/Cif is a cleaning product.  Confusion ensues.  If you missed this one, it’s an old story now…posted here.
16. Winona Ryder (I think Trinity is more appropriate, but I wasn’t the youth who gave her this nickname…)
17. C – 8 (I had to look in our wedding album to count them all…)
18. True –  (Yep, she was a rock climber.)
19. True –  (I had been in Nepal and India, but Christa hadn’t set foot in Asia.)
20. A, E, F – (Christa says any of these answers would be acceptable, but she think being some kind of high school counselor might be at the top of her list these days.  Even I didn’t know this!)

You’ll have to let us know how you fared…
