Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to Revelations 13:5 he was given a mouth to utter proud boasts and blasphemies and given authority to act for 42 months.

Answer: The Beast

The word Satan in Hebrew means "adversary" and is never capitalized in the Old Testament. However, in the new, it is used as a title and a name, thus is capitalized. This should make people wonder if the Old Testament Satan has anything to do whatsoever with the New Testament Satan.
2. Light refracting through the water at an angle of 42 degrees creates ___________.

Answer: a rainbow

A rainbow cannot be seen at noon because the sunlight is not angled against raindrops causing the refraction. If viewed from above a rainbow is circular. A rainbow also does not exist in any given place in the sky; where it is viewed is completely dependent on the observer.
3. She sleeps for 42 hours and, after awakening, learns that her love is dead.

Answer: Juliet

Shakespeare was born the son of John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in Stratford-upon-Avon. Many people believe that Shakespeare could not have authored all of his works for many reasons. One of which is that he was an uneducated commoner who would have had to have had a vocabulary of over 26,000 words.

Another point of fact is the amount of medicine, foreign languages, law, and politics that appears in his works.
4. There were 42 generations between these two famous biblical characters.

Answer: Abraham and Jesus

Abraham is spelled Avraham traditionally. Av in Hebrew means "father" and Raham in Arabic means "nations or multitudes." Hence he is called the father of many nations. He was the patriarch of the Edomites, Ishmaelites, and most famously the Israelites. He is also the father of Judaism hence the beginning of monotheism.
5. This X-Files character lives in apartment #42.

Answer: Fox Mulder

Fox Mulder was born October 13, 1961 to Bill and Teena Mulder. He had a younger sister and a half brother. His sister went missing which was the spark that drove him to search for the truth. He graduated from Oxford with a psychology degree in 1986. It was later revealed that the smoking man was his biological father.

The details in which the writers developed this character are astounding, you could almost write a biography on Fox Mulder that was nonfiction.
6. This holy book of Judaism is broken into columns, each of which always has exactly 42 lines.

Answer: The Torah

Torah in Hebrew means teaching, instruction, or law and refers to the first five books of the Holy Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). The authorship of these five books traditionally goes to Moses although Joshua finished Deuteronomy after Moses perished outside the Promised Land.
7. He was the 42nd U.S. President.

Answer: Bill Clinton

He brought about many changes like N.A.F.T.A. (the North American Free Trade Act) and extreme welfare reform, that resulted in fiscal stability. He was the first U.S. president (and apparently the last president) in decades to balance the budget and give the United States a monetary surplus.
8. Holden Caufield lies about his age and says he is 42 years old in this novel.

Answer: The Catcher in the Rye

The Catcher in the Rye was released in 1951 and was not only J.D. Salinger's first novel but his most famous work as well. He loosely based the novel off his own childhood, and underscored his fascination with the idea of a person being the only sane person in an insane world.

Another one of Salinger's works that follows the mental health of the protagonist is: A Perfect Day for Banana Fish.
9. The natural vibration frequency of this primate's DNA is 42.

Answer: Human

Mechanical vibrations can affect DNA in both positive and adverse ways depending on frequency and duration. For example Mechanical Vibrations of 300 Hz can augment synthesis in DNA and if that vibration is done periodically over the course of a couple weeks it can also promote proteoglycan synthesis.

While a vibration of 400 Hz suppresses biosynthesis. This has been tested on the white mouse which also has the natural DNA vibration of 42.
10. This little kid violated Rule 42: No creatures more than a mile high are allowed in the court room.

Answer: Alice

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson published "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in 1865 under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. The original handwritten, unfinished, and illustrated text was presented to Alice Liddel in 1864 with the title "Alice's Adventures Underground." Alice Liddel was referred to obliquely in both "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass," with her name in an acrostic poem at the end of "Through the Looking Glass." This led many to believe that Alice Liddel was the model for the character in these texts although Charles Dodgson denied it later in life.
