Fun Trivia
Dan Brown's second book featuring symbologist Robert Langdon became a runaway best-seller in 2003, and was adapted into a blockbuster movie starring Tom Hanks. While his speculations cover ground which is a matter of some debate, they do provide subject matter for speculation and endless dinner-party discussions. After all, everybody loves a good conspiracy theory, especially one with detective and thriller elements thrown in.

The Da Vinci Code Trivia Questions
1. At the beginning of the book, which artist's painting did Jacques Sauniere pull down for the alarm bell to ring?

From Quiz The "Da Vinci" Mystery

Answer: a Caravaggio

It is given at the very start of the book that Jacques Sauniere "lunged for the nearest painting he could see, a Caravaggio."

2. Sophie, upon seeing that the figure on Jesus' right hand side is a woman, cannot believe that nobody noticed this discrepancy. Robert Langdon described this phenomenon as what?

From Quiz Dan Brown - "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: scotoma

As used in the book, scotoma is the phenomenon where our preconceptions of a scene, act or view blocks us from realizing what our eyes actually see. This is what Robert was explaining that Sophie experienced when looking at the mural of the "Last Supper" at Chateau Villette.

3. In the beginning, what is the time when Silas shoots Jacques Sauniere?

From Quiz Dan Brown's Amazing "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: 10:46 P.M.

Silas shot Jacques Sauniere, the curator, after Sauniere pulled a painting off of the wall. This caused Silas and Sauniere to be separated.

4. Chapter 21: Jacques explained the Mona Lisa to his six-year-old grand-daughter Sophie telling her the style of painting used for it. What type of painting was it?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part III

Answer: sfumato

Sfumato style paintings was very hard to do. Leonardo DaVinci was better at it than anyone. People liked to guess why Mona Lisa was smiling. Sfumato is "a term used by Leonardo da Vinci to refer to a painting technique which overlays translucent layers of colour to create perceptions of depth, volume and form" (Wikipedia).

5. Chapter 11: The numbers on the first line of the code left by Jacques Sauniere were as follows: 13-3-2-21-1-1-8-5. Sophie rearranged the numbers to create which famous mathematical sequence?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part II

Answer: Fibonacci sequence

Later the very same numbers became the code for Sauniere's account at the Depository Bank of Zurich.

6. Chapter 1: When Langdon was lecturing at the American University of Paris' Pavilion Dauphine, the hostess introduced him with, "Our guest tonight needs no introduction..." What was the hostess' name?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part I

Answer: Monique

The hostess provides and reads from "Boston Magazine." Afterwards Langdon comments "...if I find which one of you provided that article I'll have the consulate deport you." He only says this because the magazine describes him in a way that he feels the public should not hear.

7. Behind which painting does Sophie find the key?

From Quiz Da Vinci Decoded

Answer: Madonna of the Rocks

She finds the key behind "Madonna of the Rocks" in the Salle des Etats by "The Mona Lisa".

8. Which Da Vinci artwork did Jacques Sauniere fashion his own body into?

From Quiz Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code"

Answer: The Vitruvian Man

"The Vitruvian Man" is Da Vinci's artwork portraying the complexity of the human form. "The Last Supper" is a fresco in Milan, Italy. "The Mona Lisa" is probably the most famous painting in the world, and Madonna On The Rocks" is NOT an artwork by Da Vinci, that would be "Madonna Of The Rocks".

9. Whose plane did Sophie, Robert, and Leigh take to fly to London?

From Quiz Journey Through "The Da Vinci Code" Part 2

Answer: Leigh's plane

They took Leigh's Hawker 731 twin garret to London. Leigh's butler, Remy, also accompanied them.

10. What was the name of the European secret society that made Sophie's grandfather a member?

From Quiz Journey Through "The Da Vinci Code" Part 1

Answer: Priory of Sion

Priory of Sion is a real organization that was created in 1099. Some of the greatest names in history were apart of the society such as Newton, Botticelli, Hugo, and Da Vinci.

11. At the beginning of the book, what did the curator do to raise the alarm while he was being attacked?

From Quiz Da Vinci: Decoded

Answer: Pulled a painting off the wall

The Louvre has an intricate alarm system: if a painting is pulled off the wall or hit hard enough, the wires behind it will activate the alarm system, and a metal gate will shut at the exits to stop the burglar escaping.

12. In the beginning of the story a man was being chased by a monk in the Louvre Museum. What did he do to separate himself from the monk?

From Quiz The Da Vinci Code

Answer: pulled down a painting

The man was the curator of the museum and his name was Jaques Sauniere. He pulled down a painting to activate the security system and make metal bars come down around him. These bars are used in museums to trap art thieves in the museum.

13. When the curator is killed, which famous artwork does he imitate on the floor of the museum?

From Quiz "The Da Vinci Code": A History Lesson

Answer: "The Vitruvian Man"

The curator positioned his body to imitate the famous sketch by Leonardo Da Vinci to capture the attention of his granddaughter.

14. Da Vinci's "Last Supper" was purported to show all except the following:

From Quiz The Da Vinci Code

Answer: Judas' bounty of silver coins

Look at a picture of the "Last Supper" and judge for yourself. The original fresco is deteriorating in Milan.

15. What car did "the Teacher" arrange for Silas, to reach the Saint-Sulpice?

From Quiz The "Da Vinci" Mystery

Answer: an Audi

"Silas sat behind the wheel of the black Audi the Teacher had arranged for him."

16. At the start of the book, Robert Langdon was being introduced as the guest speaker at the conference. What magazine did the emcee show and read to the audience to introduce him?

From Quiz Dan Brown - "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: Boston Magazine

For whatever it's worth, that magazine's depiction of Langdon as "Harrison Ford in Harris tweed" may have conjured visions of Harrison Ford playing the part for the movie. Alas, it was Tom Hanks who got the role.

17. How is Silas first described?

From Quiz Dan Brown's Amazing "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: A ghost with the eyes of a devil

After Silas was born his father killed his mother because he was an albino that looked like a ghost. He then killed his own father and ran away. He was said to be a "ghost with the eyes of the devil."

18. 'The da Vinci Code' is very strong on a principle which it says the Catholic Church suppressed in its early years by refusing to allow for Christ's marital status and his leaving the Christian church in his wife's care. What was this principle?

From Quiz Cracks in the Code

Answer: the sacred feminine

The Gnostic Gospels, now published freely and available throughout the Christian world (check out your local library), are known for their opinion of women. Indeed, in the Gospel of Thomas we find saying 114: "Simon Peter said to them, 'Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life.' Jesus said, 'I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven'." If, as Dan Brown suggests, the Gnostic Gospels honour the sacred feminine, I am glad that principle has not been applied in my life; that kind of honour I can do without.

19. Chapter 32: Sophie and Langdon drove toward the embassy only to find their way blocked. How many DCPJ police cars were guarding Avenue Gabriel?

From Quiz "DaVinci Code" Part IV

Answer: 2

Astoundingly, half of Fache's men took the form of 'a couple of police cars.'

20. Chapter 22: The keystone was supposedly hidden beneath the Rose Line. What was the Rose line?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part III

Answer: the ancient Prime Meridian

"A strip of brass that segmented the sanctuary on a perfect north-south axis. It was an ancient sundial of sorts, a vestige of the pagan temple that had once stood on this very spot. The sun's rays, shining through the oculus on the south wall moved further and further down the line every day, indicating the passage of time, form solstice to solstice."

21. Chapter 12: Robert Langdon was met in the restroom by none other than Sophie Neveu. Who, according to Sophie, was Bezu Fache's primary murder suspect?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part II

Answer: Robert

Sophie showed Langdon that he was indeed the murder suspect and was being tracked by the DCPJ using a GPS tracking dot, which was hidden in his left jacket pocket.

22. Chapter 2: As Silas was reporting to the Teacher what he had learned from his victims, he mentioned the clef de voûte. What French translation corresponds to this?

From Quiz "Da Vinci Code" Part I

Answer: keystone

As of Chapter 2 the keystone was an engraved tablet that revealed the final resting place of the Holy Grail, information so powerful that its protection was the reason for the brotherhood's very existence.

23. What word opened the first cryptex?

From Quiz Journey Through "The Da Vinci Code" Part 2

Answer: Sofia

Sofia was Greek for Wisdom. When the cryptex opened, there was a note inside with instructions to go to London and find the tomb of a knight that a pope interred. Leigh knew where they should look.

24. As Jacques Sauniere was dying, he used his last strength to leave clues for his granddaughter. What message did he leave her?

From Quiz Da Vinci: Decoded

Answer: Find Robert Langdon

Jacques's granddaughter Sophie was a cryptographer, so he knew she would be called to try and work out his message. At the end of the message he wrote "PS. Find Robert Langdon". The PS stood for Princess Sophie, which Sophie was told were her secret initials. The proper meaning of the letters PS was 'The Priory of Sion'.

25. According to the book, what is the secret that "The Mona Lisa" is smiling about?

From Quiz "The Da Vinci Code": A History Lesson

Answer: she is androgynous

Apparently, Da Vinci used Egyptian myths and other sources to create an androgynous being. It's very complicated, but very interesting for its intricacy.

26. Where was Robert Langdon a professor of religious symbology?

From Quiz The Da Vinci Code

Answer: Harvard

The character went to the same prep school as the author, Dan Brown.

27. What is the address of the National Headquarters of Opus Dei?

From Quiz The "Da Vinci" Mystery

Answer: 243, Lexington Avenue

This address is given in the Facts page after the Acknowledgments.

28. In one flashback scene in the book, Robert Langdon was discussing Symbology with a bunch of prisoners; which Egyptian god did he ask about?

From Quiz Dan Brown - "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: Amon

Amon, the Egyptian god of masculine fertility is found on every box of Amon condoms. Whether this product is actually available is subject to investigation.

29. What is Sophie Nevue's favorite Da Vinci drawing?

From Quiz Dan Brown's Amazing "Da Vinci Code"

Answer: The Vitruvian Man

Jacques Sauniere knew Sophie's favorite drawing and, thus, laid his body on the ground in resemblance to this drawing. This was to grab her attention.
