Abstract
An educational toy comprises a base and a statue mounted thereon. The statue has a movable head and arms. One of numerous replaceable question/answer plates is selectively placed over a quiz device which consists of an electrical conductive bottom layer, a non-conductive marking top layer, and an intermediate circuit layer sandwiched therebetween. A plurality of top opened holes are formed extending through the quiz device to said conductive bottom layer. Said plate is punched at the position corresponding to some of said holes in accordance with the question/answer combination. Two operating rods are provided for selective insertion in said holes to indicate a question and corresponding answer. If a correct answer is given, the statue will be actuated to produce an affirmative nodding and clapping action, whereas if an incorrect answer is given, the statute will render a negative wagging motion.
