The Queen's Meme

(Link in meme-roll)
Basic Music Theory Meme 101

1. What is the symbol above called?
It's a musical staff.
2. Imagine you are playing saxophone and suddenly see the symbol above in your music score. What do you do?
1-2-3-4, 2-2-3-4, 3-2-3-4, 4-2-3-4, 5-2-3-4...assuming there are 4 beats per bar.
3. And this ornate object is???
I have no earthly idea.
4. Are these two rests equal or unequal in value?
I believe the one on the left is 1 beat and the one on the right is 1/2 beat.
5. Name at least 2 things missing from the Treble and Bass clef show below that would be seen in an actual piece of music.
Key signature? Measures? Time signature? Note directionals (lines up/down)? You know what the best thing (for me)  about this is that I think this may be from a handbell chart.
6. Why is the treble clef above always getting in trouble? What is wrong with it?
It's frustrated because the 4 ran off with it's G-spot.
7. What is the name of this note?
It's a hemidemisemiquaver. Or possibly a semihemidemisemiquaver. I never remember precisely where one starts to count.
8. What is the key signature in the piece of music below?
Key of A. Wow, REALLY had to think about this! However, I can translate the title for you if you'd like....
9. What is the last note on a piano keyboard?
Which end? lol
