The Quiz

Shownotes Transcript

Hi, everyone. I'm Michelle Tafoya, and it's time to take the quiz. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out.

Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. So let's see how you do. Question one. To be or not to be? That is the question. Is a line uttered by the Prince of Denmark in what famous play? Shakespeare. Hamlet.

Easy. Hamlet. Question two. Athletes most commonly experience fractures in which two bones in the lower leg? The ankle. Fibula. In the shin. Tibia and fibula.

If you guessed tibia and fibula, you would be correct. So not so bad so far, right? Now they're going to get tougher from here, so hang tight. On to question three. Who is the governor of North Dakota who ran in the 2024 GOP presidential primary? Notably, he injured his leg playing basketball, but still made an appearance at the first debate. Bergman. It's not Kristi Noem. That's South Dakota. Bergman.

That would be Governor Doug Burgum. Okay, question four. What is the official name of the comprehensive reform passed that sought to provide cost-effective health insurance to those below the poverty line via premium tax credits? Don't know. Affordable health care. I don't know. The correct answer is the Affordable Care Act. Play, share, listen. Question five is next.

All right, here it comes. The moment you've been waiting for. I hope you're ready for question five. If you're a fan of dark meat, you're probably going for the turkey leg instead of the breast.

What is the protein that's responsible for giving dark meat its characteristic color? I don't know. I was going to go for the tryptophan or whatever. I have no idea. If I say tryptophan, I'm wrong. And the answer is myoglobin. How'd you do on the quiz?

I was good up until Maya Globin. I don't know about you. Either way, you can try again tomorrow. And if you missed any along the way, you can always find more quizzes at the quiz. Fox. Then come back here to see how you did. I'm Michelle Tafoya. You can find me at the Michelle Tafoya podcast, wherever you download podcasts. Thank you for taking the quiz.
