How many can you get right? A tricky 3-choice trivia quiz you'll want to tell someone about

ampersand

The formal name of “&” is “ampersand.” This symbol originates from a ligature of the Latin word “et,” meaning “and.” It was once even taught as the 27th letter of the alphabet, and the phrase recited at the end of the alphabet, “and per se and,” gradually slurred into the word “ampersand.”

fairy

The adorable character depicted on the package of Lawson’s hugely popular hot snack “Karaage-kun” is actually a fairy. According to the official setting, he is a fairy who lives in the “Karaage-kun Kingdom,” and his name is simply “Karaage-kun.”

Mary's Lamb

As a test of the phonograph invented by Thomas Edison in 1877, the first sound in history to be recorded and played back was “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” sung by Edison himself. This casual choice of song came to mark the first step in the great scientific history of humanity recording and reproducing sound.

shell

Cliones, also known as “angels of the drift ice,” have a cute appearance but are actually related to sea snails. As they grow, they lose their shells and use wing-like organs called parapodia to glide gracefully through the water. When they extend tentacles called buccal cones from their heads to capture prey, their behavior is strikingly wild—far from their usual adorable look—and this contrast is considered one of their charms.

hermit crab

The red king crab is a crustacean classified as a relative of hermit crabs. A prominent feature of its appearance is its thick, long walking legs, but the number of visible legs, including the claws, is eight. Of the ten legs it originally has, the rearmost pair is extremely small and degenerated, hidden inside the carapace and responsible for cleaning the gills. Because of this body structure and biological characteristics, red king crabs are classified as relatives of hermit crabs.

Salvador Dalí

The distinctive flower-shaped Chupa Chups logo was designed by the Spanish master and representative of Surrealism, Salvador Dalí. In 1969, it is said that the founder of Chupa Chups asked Dalí to design the logo.

Tiffany

It began in 1877, when Tiffany created a logo combining the letters “N” and “Y” as the design for a medal of honor presented to New York City police officers who died in the line of duty. Later, in 1909, Bill Devery, a co-owner of the Yankees and a former police chief, adopted this refined design as the team’s logo due to his connection with the department.
