Jane: Dad, would you like to do a sports quiz?
Father: Hmmm… Why not, dear? I was good at sports when I was young!
Jane: I bet you don't know all the answers! Some sports are not really ordinary.
Father: Oh… OK, let's try. What's the first question?
Jane: The action in this game takes place at the bottom of the pool, so players have to wear scuba masks, snorkels and flippers. They have to slide the puck into the opposing team's goal.
Father: Well, that's a really strange game... Let me think… The puck is used in hockeybut why do they play under the water? Maybe because...
Jane: … because that's underwater hockey!
Father: Yeah, that explains everything… OK, let's go to the next one.
Jane: What's the name of the sport where you roll down a steep hill inside a ball?
Father: Emmm… I'm afraid I don't know this one, dear.
Jane: It's called zorbing! Look, here's the photo.
Father: I see... And I wouldn't like to be inside that … ball.
Jane: Why? It's not dangerous. You are totally protected from bumps and knocks by the zorb. Even you could try it.
Father: Oh… Emmm… I'm too old for such extreme activities, honey. What's the next question?
Jane: The last one… You strap a board to your feet and slide down a hill but it's notsnowboarding because you do it on … sand!
Father: Emmm… Wait for a second... I think I can guess this one. It's sandboarding!
Jane: Yes! You're right! Well done, dad! One out of three is a good result.
Father: Thanks, dear. That was rather challenging.
