Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "Casablanca" (1942), after Rick (Humphrey Bogart) says his goodbye to his love Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), what does he say to Renault (Claude Rains)?

Answer: Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Misquotes are often the product of the person who first utilized the quote. "Casablanca" is one of the most-quoted films. One of the lines most closely associated with the film - "Play it again, Sam" - is a misquotation. When Ilsa first enters the Café Americain, she spots Sam and asks him to "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake". Later, Rick says, "You played it for her, you can play it for me".

"Here's looking at you, kid" was not in the script. It was an ad-lib by Bogart.

Other memorable lines are "Round up the usual suspects", "we'll always have Paris", and "of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine".
2. According to the Bible, Delilah cut Samson's hair and sapped his strength.

Answer: False

Delilah did not cut Samson's hair. She ordered a servant to do it.
3. In film parlance, what is a cameo?

Answer: A cameo is a brief appearance in a film.

A cameo is an appearance in a film where the audience may immediately recognize the celebrity, but he or she may have no lines or business. It is what Alfred Hitchcock did in his films.

A supporting actor with at least one line is a 'bit part'.

Someone in a crowd scene is an 'extra'.

Someone who takes an action but has no lines (a policeman writing a ticket) is a 'walk on'.
4. Who lead the 'Rough Riders' up San Juan Hill in the Spanish/American War?

Answer: Leonard Wood

Wood lead the charge up San Juan Hill while his second-in-command, Teddy Roosevelt, lead the charge up Kettle Hill. The Rough Riders called themselves 'Wood's Weary Walkers' as they were on foot due to the shortage of horses. Wood was a personal physician to Presidents Cleveland and McKinley.

He became acquainted with Roosevelt and together they formed the Rough Riders. Wood, having more military experience than Roosevelt, assumed overall command. Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri is named for him.
5. The planet Uranus has twenty-seven moons. What is the source for the names of a majority of the moons?

Answer: Shakespeare's plays

Twenty-four are named for Shakespearean characters. Three were named from poems by Pope. One, Ariel, fits both lists. There are also six large asteroids also named from Shakespeare's plays.
6. The Rose Bowl has always been played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.

Answer: False

On January 1, 1942 the game was held at the Duke University Stadium in Durham, North Carolina. The attack on Pearl Harbor had just preceded by 24 days and the venue was changed for security reasons. There was a general blackout of activities on the west coast due to fear of Japanese attacks. Oregon State defeated Duke 20-16.
7. During his lifetime, what was Noah Webster's best selling book: "The Blue Back Speller" or "An American Dictionary of the English Language"? Just write one word: speller or dictionary.

Answer: speller

Webster published his dictionary in 1828, but it sold only 2500 copies. He spent years revising it and ran himself into debt and mortgage. He died shortly after the second edition was printed in 1840. His spelling book was much more successful during his life, but he is remembered for his dictionary. Webster made the dictionary 'American'.

He changed several spellings-- "colour" to "color", "wagon" for "waggon", and "center" for "centre". He added 'American' words like "skunk" and "squash".
8. Which of these statements is true about the band instrument called the English horn?

Answer: Both statements are true

The English horn is really an alto oboe that has an angled mouthpiece. The French word 'angled' has been mistranslated to 'English'.
9. What is the most common gas in the atmosphere?

Answer: Nitrogen

Air is 78.% nitrogen. Other gases in the atmosphere include: 21.0% oxygen, 0.1% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases and water vapor.
10. The Spruce Goose was an experimental airplane designed to be a troop carrier. What kind of wood was used in its construction?

Answer: Birch

Howard Hughes collected forty million tax dollars to build a wood troop carrier. It flew only once in 1947, whereby fulfilling the government contract. It soared about 70 feet off the ground for about a thousand yards.
