Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Cary Grant plans to meet Deborah Kerr at the Empire State Building in which movie?

Answer: An Affair To Remember

This film was referenced several times in the movie 'Sleepless in Seattle'. 'An Affair To Remember' was a remake of an earlier film called 'Love Affair'.
2. Jumpers (or sweaters) of what pattern were popularised in the 1920s by Edward, Prince of Wales (who later became the Duke of Windsor)?

Answer: Fair Isle

The Fair Isle stitch is named after the most southern of the Shetland Islands. 'Fair Isle' has come to mean a garment knitted with intricate repeating patterns, in numerous colours. Originally, however, 'Fair Isle' referred to the knitting produced on the island, which was generally just two colours (the undyed, natural colours of the sheep bred there) with a repeating pattern and which was usually knitted on one needle, meaning that the garment was seamless.
3. In 1920, who married "America's Sweetheart" Mary Pickford, the second of his three wives?

Answer: Douglas Fairbanks

Douglas Fairbanks was the father of Douglas Fairbanks Jr (by his third wife) and was pictured on a 20¢ US commemorative postage stamp, issued in 1984.

The Ford Fairlaine is a car, of course; and while the others are real people, they were never married to Mary Pickford!
4. Cissy, Jody and Buffy were the children in what 1960s sitcom?

Answer: Family Affair

The butler in 'Family Affair', Mr Giles French, was played by Sebastian Cabot. His real-life daughter, Annette, was in five episodes of the show, and had small parts in 'My Three Sons' and 'Checkmate'.
5. The two dark blue properties in the UK version of Monopoly are Park Lane and what?

Answer: Mayfair

The dark blue properties (indeed, all the properties) have different names in different versions of the game. In the Australian version they are 'Flinders Way' and 'King's Avenue'. In the American version, they are 'Park Place' and 'Boardwalk', although in the 2006 'Here and Now' edition, Boardwalk becomes 'Times Square, New York City' and Park Place is 'Fenway Park, Boston'.
6. The Brownlow medal, awarded in Australian Rules Football, is given to the player who exhibits which qualities?

Answer: Fairest and Best

The Brownlow Medal, which has been awarded since 1924 to the Fairest and Best player in the AFL (Australian Rules Football) competition each season, is the highest individual award.

The field umpires for each game award three votes to the player they consider to have been the best on the ground, two votes for the second best, and one to the third best player on the day.
7. "I've grown accustomed to her face" is sung by Professor 'enry 'iggins in what musical adaptation?

Answer: My Fair Lady

'My Fair Lady' was based on the play 'Pygmalion' by George Bernard Shaw. Eliza Doolittle is a Cockney flower-seller, whom Professor Henry Higgins teaches to speak with a less coarse accent.
8. "Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend" according Agatha Christie, in which of her books?

Answer: The Mysterious Affair at Styles

"The Mysterious Affair at Styles" was Agatha Christie's first book, and introduced both Poirot and his lifelong friend, Hastings.
9. Which of the following did Shakespeare's 'Moor of Venice', Othello, call Desdemona?

Answer: Fair Warrior

Desdemona and Othello meet at the dock and greets her as his 'fair warrior'. They exchange some fulsome platitudes, then Desdemona says: "The heavens forbid
But that our loves and comforts should increase, Even as our days do grow."

You'll have to read the rest to find out what happens in the end!
10. Friedrich Von Hayek was an Austrian economist who propounded which French-named free-enterprise system, whose name means 'let it be'?

Answer: Laissez-faire

Laissez-faire (or more properly in French, laisser-faire) means, as you saw,'let it be'.
The other phrases are:
Faire peau neuve: turn over a new leaf.
Faire ses adieux: to say good-bye.
Faire le jardin: to do the gardening!
