That’s News to you answers

Here are the answers to this week’s quiz:

1. D. Following a 21-win season and EWU’s first postseason win, five players – including former Mead star and starting point guard Jade Redmon – have decided to leave the program. And a sixth player has decided not to use her final year of eligibility. In addition, Eastern lost a seventh player, 6-foot-4 junior forward Hanna Mack, who decided not to play prior to the beginning of last season.

2. A. The large, circular fish is called an opah, or sometimes a moonfish, and researchers have determined that it can keep its internal temperature 41 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than its environment.

3. D. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 NFL season. The Patriots will lose a first-round pick in the 2016 draft and a fourth-rounder in 2017. The Patriots will be fined $1 million. Brady has appealed his suspension.

4. B. The speed limit drops to just 50 mph. The engineer applied the emergency brakes moments before the crash but slowed the train to only 102 mph by the time the locomotive’s black box stopped recording data, said Robert Sumwalt, of the National Transportation Safety Board. Prior to reaching the 50 mph limit at the bend, the speed limit is 80 mph.

5. C. The earthquake struck Nepal. The most recent quake hit hardest in deeply rural parts of the Himalayan foothills, hammering many villages reached only by hiking trails and causing road-blocking landslides.
