On the Quiz itself= , EJ25T came out on top with 1024, followed by Denjiro in second with 982 and Shotgun Justice= ong> in third with 938. No Catchy Nickname made fourt= h with 927, and HighwayBill rounds out the top five w= ith 922. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about wh= o the Royal Canadian Mint decided they would honor with their newest versio= n of the toonie, their $2 coin. Only 36% of quiztakers knew that they were = going with the classic that has served them well over the past 70 years, Qu= een Elizabeth II. The outer ring of the coin will be cast in black nickel t= o mimic a black mourning armband. I'm guessing they, like most Commonwealth= nations, realized early on that fitting King Chuck's ears on a round coin = was going to be difficult, so rather than re-tool for oval coins, they're g= oing to just kind of not get around to it for as long as possible. = The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about which country decid= ed to outlaw all sexual activity outside marriage. 84% of quiztakers knew t= hat the world's largest majority-Muslim country was the Pacific island nati= on of Indonesia. I just want to say good luck enticing tourists to Bali wit= h a slogan of "you're not gonna get laid, under penalty of jail time".= The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about what= the British call "humbug". Only 30% of quiztakers knew that this was their= name for hard candy, specifically the peppermint variety, It's worth notin= g that in Charles Dickens' day (back in 1843 when A Christmas Caro= lwas published) the word mean "hoax" or "deceptive behavior", so the u= se of the phrase "Bah, humbug!" by his character Ebenezer Scrooge meant he = thought the sentiment was false, not that it was minty. The e= asiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the meaning of the word = "solace". 88% of quiztakers knew that it meant "someone or something that g= ives comfort in times of distress," a definition that still doesn't explain= Daniel Craig's first James Bond movie's title. Here's hoping the new = Ant-Man movie explores it a bit more. If you missed out on la= st week's Quiz, [now's a great time to catch up on the Fark Weir= d News Quiz](3D".=) now that you know a few of the answers.
