12. Which mathematical study is so called because "there is an end to it"?

Answer: Finite

When something is infinite, it has no end. Therefore, if something has an end, it is finite.

13. With which psychological illness is Officer Charlie Bailygates (mis)diagnosed in "Me, Myself and Irene"?

Answer: Schizophrenia

In the movie, Charlie claims to have a form of schizophrenia, but this is a case of poor research on the part of the script staff. Dissociative Identity Disorder (also called Multiple Personality Disorder) is not co-morbid with schizophrenia, the reason being that a schizophrenic's mind is too disordered to handle additional personalities.

However, as is often the case with movies, the viewer must suspend disbelief and just be entertained by the show.

14. Which Shakespeare play featured the characters Lysander and Oberon?

Answer: A Midsummer Night's Dream

This play also has one of my favourite characters, Puck (a.k.a.: Robin Goodfellow).

15. Last, but not least: How many licks does Mr. Owl say it takes to get to the Tootsie Roll centre of a Tootsie Pop?

Answer: 3

Mr. Owl licks the Tootsie Pop three times, then bites it. Poor kid; he may never know the answer!
