Dinner quiz

Tonight we ended up having a quiz at dinner, prompted by the question, "Whose placemat is not the same as everyone else's?" (It was Rayna's).

Seeing an opportunity to quiz Strider and Rayna on some of the things that they've been learning in school, I started asking some questions. Then the kids started chiming in with their own.... Here's how it evolved. See if you can get all the right answers.

1. Which one is different? (author of question = me)
a.) Rockefeller
b.) Carnegie
c.) Washington

2. Which one is different? (author of question = me)
a.) silver
b.) atom
c.) platinum

3. Which one is different? (author of question = Strider)
a.) A Big Mac
b.) A Whopper
c.) Usain Bolt

4. Which one is different? (author of question = Strider)
a.) Wade Phillips
b.) Jerry Jones
c.) Jason Garrett

5. Which one is different? (author of question = Peter)
a.) Chevrolet
b.) Mazda
c.) Taurus

6. Which one is different? (author of question = Rayna)
a.) eee
b.) me
c.) clee

7. Which one is different (author of question = Colsen)
a.) steaks
b.) trees
c.) California

ANSWERS:
1. c: As Strider and Rayna learned this week, the other 2 were "tycoons that spurred the Industrial Age of America"
2. b: The other 2 are elements
3. a: "Usain Bolt is the best, and the Whopper is the best, so the Big Mac is different." Strider has apparently fallen hook, line and sinker for Burger King's newest ad campaign.
4. b. Apparently he is the owner of the Cowboys and the other 2 work for him or something.
5. c. The other 2 are car makers, the Taurus is a model. An alternative answer offered by another member of the family is "b" since the other 2 are American but Mazda is Japanese.
6. c. No clear explanation here, other than one Strider offers, which is "the other 2 are words." ???
7. b. No explanation whatsoever.
