Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In which 1964 James Bond movie is Sean Connery first heard advising that he likes his martini "shaken not stirred"?

Answer: Goldfinger

While the comment "shaken not stirred" first appeared in Ian Fleming's 1956 novel "Diamonds Are Forever", it was not until 1964 that film buffs heard Sean Connery say these words in "Goldfinger". There are a couple reasons that some people prefer a martini shaken not stirred.

Some of these include the belief that a shaken martini has more antioxidants than a stirred one; another is the belief that stirring a drink diminishes its flavor; and another is the idea that shaking preserves the clarity of the drink.
2. In 1957, what American singer had a hit with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On"?

Answer: Jerry Lee Lewis

"Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" was one of Jerry Lee Lewis' biggest hits. This rockabilly song made the charts in many different categories and was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. While authorship of the song has been disputed, Sunny Davis and Dave Williams are the composers who are usually listed.
3. Buried in the walls of the Kremlin, who is the American author of the 1919 novel "Ten Days That Shook the World"?

Answer: John Reed

American author John Reed was an avid socialist and is probably most well-known for his novel "Ten Days That Shook the World". The book is a first-hand account of what he experienced during the Bolshevik Revolution that occurred on November 7-8, 1917.

While in Moscow, he died of typhus at the age of 32, was given a hero's funeral and was then buried in the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Others buried in this area include military leaders, cosmonauts, and scientists.
4. Which of the following instruments do you shake to make music?

Answer: Maracas

Popular in many different kinds of Latin American music, maracas are percussion instruments that are shaken to elicit their sound. Originally, they were made of coconut or gourd shells, which had been dried and then filled with dried beans or seeds. Usually played in pairs, one maraca is pitched high while the other is pitched low. Maracas have been used in South America for over 1,500 years.
5. Which of the following is the best definition of a "shake down"?

Answer: Extortion

'Shake down' is another term for the crime of extortion. It involves the use of coercion and threats to obtain money, services, or property of some kind from the victim. Extortion is often used by organized crime groups, gangs, and blackmailers.
6. What is the best description of the organization known as 'Shakers'?

Answer: A strict religious denomination

The Shakers are a religious sect properly known as The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing. This charismatic branch of the Christian religion were known for their monastic lifestyle which included separation of the sexes, absolutely no sex for any reason, communal living and a strong work ethic.

The term Shakers came from their appearance during worship services, which included lots of dancing, singing and speaking in tongues.
7. Where are you most likely to find an object called a shake?

Answer: The roof of a log cabin

A shake is a wooden shingle that is used for roofing a siding-log cabin. Made from split logs, shakes can last a long time without needing repair and are popular for those who are trying to give a rustic look to their home. Popular woods used for making shakes are cedar, pine, and redwood.
8. What kind of unusual weapon is also known as a shaken?

Answer: Ninja throwing star

A shaken is a type of Japanese throwing star or shuriken. The term shuriken refers to any small bladed object, while shaken specifically refers to a throwing star with a wheel type design. They come in a huge variety of designs, and have been used for centuries in the country of Japan.

In spite of what is seen in many martial arts movies, these weapons were supplemental and usually used to injure--not kill. The sword or the spear played the main role.
9. Shooker is a type of billiards.

Answer: False

This is false. The game is known as snooker, not shooker. It is played using a pool cue and balls on a billiard-type table. This variation of pocket billiards is believed to have originated in India in the late 19th century, and has become increasingly popular around the world.
10. A 'shaken' was a mythical beast that is best described as a giant squid.

Answer: False

The mythical beast being described is a kraken not a shaken. It was believed that this giant squid/octopus was so large that it could sink a large ship and kill all those aboard. It was believed to live in the waters off Norway and Greenland.
