Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Late in the film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' King Arthur and his knights approach a bridge which they must cross on their quest. What is the bridge called?

Answer: The Bridge of Death

The approach to the bridge is perilous...the knights must step slowly across a ridge of rocks.

2. This bridge spans a steamy and terrifying chasm from which very odd noises emanate. What is the equally frightful name of this deadly abyss?

Answer: The Gorge of Eternal Peril

The King and his knights now nervously approach the bridge...

3. Approaching the bridge, who describes the 'rules of the game' that allow one to cross the rickety structure?

Answer: King Arthur

As they approach the bridge the all-knowing (?) Arthur describes in detail what the knights must do to traverse the bridge safely...unfortunately, he still can't distinguish between 3 and 5!

Answer: Sir Launcelot

Launcelot bravely steps up to the Bridgekeeper, who asks him his questions three:

Bridgekeeper: 'What is your name?'
Sir Launcelot: 'Sir Launcelot of Camelot!'
Bridgekeeper: 'What is your quest?'
Sir Launcelot: 'To seek the Holy Grail...'
Bridgekeeper: 'What is your favorite color?'
Sir Launcelot: 'Blue!'
Bridgekeeper: 'Alright, off you go!'
Sir Launcelot: 'Oh, thank you!'

And off he goes, non-chalantly...

5. 'That's easy!' says Robin...and he bravely steps up to the bridgekeeper for his three questions. But Robin isn't so bright...which question stumps him?

Answer: What is the capital of Assyria?

Robin is not so lucky as Launcelot...he easily answers the first two questions, which are identical to the first two Launcelot is asked...he thinks he has it so easy! Then...the Assyrian stumper comes along and Robin is reduced to stunned silence.

'I don't know that...aaaaaaaaaugggghhhh!'

6. Now it is Galahad's turn to approach the bridge. He does so with much trepidation! With which stumper does Galahad have trouble?

Answer: What is your favorite color?

Again, Galahad easily conquers the first two questions, building courage as he goes along. But alas, Galahad is hit with a stumper just as Robin was....namely, 'What is your favorite color?' Poor, chaste Galahad, at first he thought it was 'blue', then he changed it to 'yellow'...his indecison cost him a trip into the chasm...and now we'll never know the true answer!

Answer: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Arthur, being the brilliant ornithologist, stumps the bridgekeeper with his clever retort...'What do you mean, African or European?' The bridgekeeper replies, 'I don't know that!' and off he goes into the chasm!

8. Which two knights survive this unbelievably silly scene at the bridge?

Answer: Bedevere and Launcelot

All told, of the six characters involved in the scene, half of them survive. Sir Robin and Sir Galahad are tossed into the chasm along with the bridgekeeper himself. King Arthur and Sir Launcelot make it across the bridge using their wit. Bedevere, that lucky sot, makes it across thanks to Arthur (Bedevere thinks the world is shaped like a banana, you know he would have screwed it up.)

9. 'How do you know so much about swallows?' Sir Bedevere now asks. How does Arthur answer this?

Answer: You have to know these things when you are king, you know?

Of course the well-schooled Python fan knows that Arthur is lying through is teeth. He only knows about swallows via the annoying conversation he is forced to endure in scene one of the film. Of course, they may have included courses in ornithology at king school back then...but I doubt it.

10. In order to speed up the bridge-crossing scene, what gimmick is used?

Answer: Intermission

Intermission, but unfortunately not enough time to pick up a soda and popcorn. Incidentally, the music used during the intermission also appears at the very end of the film.

Thank you for playing, you have passed the quiz of death!
