Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "... One more cup of coffee 'fore I go to the valley below ..." is sung by one of the most legendary American musicians of the 20th century. Who is the artist?

Answer: Bob Dylan

"One more cup of coffee" is from the album "Desire", released in 1976. "Mozambique" and "Hurricane" are on the same album.
The song talks about a gypsy girl and the man who loves her but has to leave her. Allegedly, Bob Dylan was inspired for this song one summer in Provence, France when he witnessed the annual gathering of Romani people celebrating their patron saint, Saint Sarah the Egyptian.
2. "Coffee, unless it is very good and made by somebody else, is pretty intolerable at any time" is from a book by Dame Iris Murdoch. Which is this book that made her a Booker Prize winner in 1978?

Answer: The Sea, the Sea

Irish born Iris Murdoch is one of the finest writers of her generation. There is a subtle philosophical basis in her writing as she was greatly influenced by Jean-Paul Sartre, Wittgenstein and Plato.
"The Sea, the Sea" is the story of a self-centered playwright and director while he writes his memoirs. The title alludes to the triumphant shout in Xenophon's "Descent of the Myriads" when in 410 BC, after fighting for the Persian king, the mercenaries saw the shores of the Black Sea and realized they were saved from death.
3. "In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running". Which American entrepreneur and pioneer of e-commerce said it? (Hint: city).

Answer: Jeff Bezos of Amazon

Out of the four companies, only Amazon has its headquarters in Seattle.
Jeff Bezos, with a degree in computer science and electrical engineering from Princeton, saw as early as 1994 the opportunity in combining mail orders and internet. Books seemed like a good choice since an actual mail order catalogue of books whould be too enormous to mail.
Twenty years later, Amazon is shipping a vast variety of goods all over the world.
4. "Blacker than a moonless night. Hotter and more bitter than Hell itself ... That is coffee". Who is the coffee aficionado character of the "Ace Attorney" series of visual novel adventure games whose name reminds us of a play by Samuel Beckett?

Answer: Godot

Godot is a character in the "Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations" game of the series. He is a prosecutor, constantly drinking coffee in his courtroom. He is also an arch-enemy of attorney Phoenix Wright.
He is tanned, with white hair and an electronic visor. His visual appearance is based on Rutger Hauer's role in "Blade Runner" (replica Roy Batty) and his character on the eponymous character from Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot".
5. Ilsa Lund: Goodbye. Thank you for the coffee, monsieur. I shall miss this when I leave Casablanca. Senor Ferrari: It was gracious of you to share it with me. Name the movie.

Answer: Casablanca

The dialogue between Ilsa Lund and senor Ferrari (Ingrid Bergman and Sydney Greenstreet) takes place when Ilsa and her husband Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) inquire about the papers that will allow them to escape to America. Ferrari informs them that Rick (Humphrey Bogart) has the papers and that he is the only one who can help them.
If you want the rest of the story, all you have to do is watch the movie one more time.
6. "Coffee, according to the women of Denmark, is to the body what the Word of the Lord is to the soul". Which member of nobility and "Out of Africa" female author said this?

Answer: Isak Dinesen (Karen von Blixen)

Isak Dinesen is the pen name of Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke, the Danish author best known for her book "Out of Africa". The book became an Academy Award winning movie with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. It is an account of her life in Kenya where she and her Swedish husband Baron Bror von Blixen-Finecke established a coffee plantation which failed. Blixen returned to Denmark and lived as a writer.
7. "The drinking of coffee is an absolute sin! Our Glorious Prophet did not partake of coffee because he knew it dulled the intellect, caused ulcers, hernia and sterility; he understood that coffee was nothing but the Devil's ruse" is from a book called "My Name is Red" which is written by Turkey's only Nobel Prize in Literature. Who is the writer?

Answer: Orhan Pamuk

Orhan Pamuk (born in Istanbul in 1952) is Turkey's most famous writer and the 2006 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature. He is also a political activist in issues relating to freedom of speech and has been put on trial in Turkey for speaking on the 1915 Armenian Genocide.

His book "My Name is Red" is the story of a very religious miniaturist in the Ottoman Empire in 1591. His work has influences from Kafka, Nabokov, Proust and Jorge Louis Borges.
8. Verbal Kint: Back when I was picking beans in Guatemala we used to make fresh coffee right from the trees. Which movie is this line from? (Hint: Who is Keyser Soze?)

Answer: The Usual Suspects

Everything was fresh and witty about "The Usual Suspects". The director, the young Bryan Singer, the plot, full of intrigue and surprises and the performances; an excellent Kevin Spacey received an Oscar for his role as Verbal Kint, the ingenious twist at the end! A brilliant piece of cinematography that owes its title to a line from "Casablanca".
Captain Renault: "Major Strasser has been shot. Round up the usual suspects".
9. "I don't drink coffee, I take tea my dear" is from which song about an "alien"?

Answer: Englishman in New York

"Englishman in New York" is by English songwriter and singer Sting from his 1987 album " ...Nothing like the sun". It is based on the eccentric model, writer and raconteur, Quentin Crisp, who moved from London to the Bowery in Manhattan at the age of 73.
Quentin Crisp, a gay man, was a gifted narrator (raconteur) and at dinner parties, on television and on the stage he described how difficult it was to be gay in homophobic England in the 1920s to 1960s. Sting became fascinated by his story and wrote the song.
10. "Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love". The perfect cup of coffee as described by a French diplomat and nobleman with a very impressive looking name. Who is he?

Answer: Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord

Talleyrand (1754-1838) was the eldest son of very old, noble families on both sides. He became known as a very clever, versatile and shrewd diplomat who held office during the French Revolution, under Napoleon, under the Bourbons and under king Louis-Philippe! A controversial figure in European history, Talleyrand is considered both a traitor and the first trully "European" politician.
