Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This U.S. Treasury Department officer headed a team dubbed by the media as "The Untouchables", to bring down the infamous gangster Al Capone. What is this officer's name?

Answer: Elliot Ness

Elliot Ness and his team of "untouchables" were greatly instrumental in the 1931 conviction of Al Capone on tax evasion charges. Al Capone was sentenced to eleven years in prison for five counts of tax evasion. Capone began serving his sentence in 1932 in Atlanta then was transferred to Alcatraz to serve the remainder of his sentence.
2. What is the name of the actress who played the ill-fated Melanie in the classic film "Gone with the Wind"?

Answer: Olivia de Havilland

Olivia de Havilland was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, for playing the always sweet and selfless character Melanie. Even the selfish and spoiled Scarlett could see the goodness in Melanie, and couldn't help but to love and admire her as everyone else did.
3. In scuba diving there is a piece of equipment worn on the foot, that allows you to swim more like an actual fish. What is the name for this?

Answer: Fin

Fins go by a variety of names such as flippers, and swim fins. The first swim fin was designed by a man named Owen Churchill, who made millions from his creation, which gained its popularity in the late 1930s.
4. What is the last name of the artist who is best known for his painting titled "The Scream"?

Answer: Munch

"The Scream" was painted in 1893 and was part of a series of paintings by Edvard Munch entitled "The Frieze of Life". Edward Munch created several versions of the painting, two of which would be stolen many years later. Thankfully both paintings were eventually recovered, but unfortunately one was damaged beyond repair.
5. What is the name of the famous real estate tycoon who owns his own "tower" in New York City and also purchased the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., among many other properties?

Answer: Donald Trump

Donald Trump, also known as "The Donald" is no longer known only for his real estate success. He has also had success with his television show "The Apprentice" for which he has received a star on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame". Here's a little interesting fact for you. Donald made an appearance on the game show "Deal or no Deal", in which the contestant only won $25. Donald wrote out a check for the player's son in the amount of $25,000.00. What a guy!
6. Who was the famous baseball coach who managed the New York Yankees from 1949 to 1960, and the New York Mets from 1962 to 1965?

Answer: Casey Stengel

Casey was the first of four coaches to have the distinction of managing both of New York's major league baseball teams. The following three were Yogi Berra, Dallas Green, and Joe Torre. Casey was also known for his sense of humor and comedic quotes much like the beloved Yogi Berra.
7. What is the missing word in the following McDonald's commercial jingle? "Two all-beef patties, ___ sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun"

Answer: Special

Those of us who are old enough to remember the "Big Mac" song which was first used in 1975, have since seen McDonald's go through several other catchy jingles such as "You deserve a break today" from 1980, and the jingle "I'm lovin' it", which began in 2003.
8. What is the word used to describe people upon whom a crime has been committed?

Answer: Victims

Bystander is someone who may be inadvertently harmed during a crime usually referred to as an "innocent bystander". Perpetrator is the person who actually commits the crime, and I guess "unlucky" speaks for itself.
9. In 1981, the music group The Manhattan Transfer had a top ten hit, with a song titled "The Boy from ____". Where was the boy from?

Answer: New York City

The Manhattan Transfer won a Grammy Award for their 1981 hit "The Boy from New York City". They were actually the first pop group to win in two different categories in the same year but with different songs. They also won the award for the song "Until I Met You".
