Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What Roman military rank was held by an officer who commanded 100 men?

Answer: centurion

The word is derived from the Latin "centum" (hundred). In the New Testament, a centurion commands the detail of Roman soldiers who are carrying out the crucifixion of Jesus. It was the centurion who commanded Simon of Cyrene to help Jesus with the cross.
2. How fast can you get this one? How much is 100 times 100 times 100?

Answer: 1,000,000

Another way of expressing this is 100 cubed.
3. What middle-Atlantic State has districts named the Baltimore Hundred, the Newcastle Hundred, and the Brandywine Hundred? Hint: It was the subject of the first State quarter.

Answer: Delaware

In 1682, William Penn directed that the Delaware colony be divided into hundreds for taxation purposes. A hundred was ten tithings, and a tithing was a group of ten families. The hundreds eventually became subdivisions of the counties of Newcastle, Kent and Sussex, the only counties in Delaware, the Union's second smallest state.

In the US, many church members practice tithing, donating one tenth of their income to their church.
4. In the Deanna Durbin movie "One Hundred Men and a Girl" (1938), what was the occupation of the one hundred men?

Answer: musicians

The beautiful, sixteen-year-old Canadian singer/actress played Patricia Cardwell, who, to quote the IMDB, is "the daughter of a struggling musician (who) forms a symphony orchestra made up of his unemployed friends and through persistence, charm, and a few misunderstandings, is able to get Leopold Stokowski to lead them in a concert that leads to a radio contract." Stokowski was the conductor in Disney's "Fantasia," made three years after "One Hundred."
5. What university, located in Tallahassee, Florida, has a band called the Marching One Hundred and is also the home of the Rattlers?

Answer: Florida A & M

FAMU is an historically Black university. The One Hundred are one of the best known and most highly regarded marching bands. Florida State is also in Tallahassee, but their teams are the Seminoles, lovingly called the 'Noles.
6. Who wrote the novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude"?

Answer: Gabriel Garcia Marquez

"Solitude" is the story of the magical town of Macondo. Other works by Colombian author Marquez include "Big Mama's Funeral" and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold." He became Nobel Laureate in Literature in 1982.
7. In Michael Hart's book, "The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History," who was ranked number one?

Answer: Muhammad

Gutenberg was 8, Einstein 10, Marx 27. Hitler was 39. Isaac Newton was second, Jesus Christ third. Top woman was Spanish Queen Isabella I at 65, between Thomas Jefferson and Josef Stalin. Hart explains that his choice was based, not only on Muhammad's importance as a founder of a religion, but on his role as a political and military leader.
8. On the American Film Institute's list of the Top 100 American Films, (100 Years, 100 Movies) which film was number one?

Answer: Citizen Kane

"Casablanca" (1942) was 2, "Gone with the Wind" (1939) was 4, "Sunset Boulevard" (1950) was 12. "Kane" (1941) is one film where you'll probably get more out of it on the second through one hundredth viewing than on the first. It didn't get the Best Picture Oscar; it was beaten out by "How Green Was My Valley?" Even then the Oscars didn't always make sense.
9. I guess we all know that the Hundred Years War lasted about 116 years, but do you know who the belligerents were?

Answer: England and France

The war was all about contested lands in northern France. The Normans had conquered England in the eleventh century and still had claims on Normandy and other "huge . . . tracts of land" (to quote Michael Palin) in France. The other French folks disagreed, and so they fought on and off for more than a century, fools that they were.

This was the war in which Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) was an important figure and was eventually captured by the English and burned as a heretic. What an enlightened bunch! Joan has been played on screen by such actresses as Ingrid Bergman, Jean Seberg, and Leelee Sobieski.
10. Once upon a time, there was a series of children's books that were among the greatest ever written. They took place at least partly in the Hundred Acre Wood (or 100 Aker Wood). Which of these was not one of the inhabitants thereof?

Answer: Pookah

Of course, these are the Winnie-the-Pooh books, "Winnie-the-Pooh," "The House at Pooh Corner," "When We Were Very Young," and "Now We Are Six." This very charming series has given rise to one of Disney's most popular characters. A Pookah is an invisible, rabbit-type character from the play "Harvey," made into a movie starring James Stewart. That's all for my one hundredth quiz. Hope you enjoyed it. Now I just need 100 new ideas! Take care. Mickey.
