2. This group was a murderous band of medieval Shia Muslims. They were few in number, so they pioneered stealth killings. Their creed was "Nothing is true, everything is permitted". What name was given this allegedly hashish-consuming group?

From Quiz Secret Societies

Answer: The Assassins

The Assassins founder was Hasan-i-Sabbah, circa 11th-12th century. His headquarters were in the mountains of northern Persia. It was alleged that Hassan had his men under a magic spell for if directed they would martyr themselves. He and each subsequent leader of the Assassins were known throughout the Middle East as the "Old Man of the Mountain".

3. In what year was the Commonwealth first officially formed?

From Quiz The Commonwealth of Nations

Answer: 1926

In 1926, the Commonwealth was officially formed after the Balfour Declaration of the Imperial Conference, which recognized the full sovereignty of the dominions. Initially known as the British Commonwealth, the original member states were the UK itself, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Irish Free State and Newfoundland. Ireland (formerly known as the Irish Free State) left the Commonwealth on 18 April 1949.

4. The Antarctic Treaty was originally signed by 12 countries who had set up scientific research facilities during which event?

From Quiz All About the Antarctic Treaty System

Answer: International Geophysical Year

The International Geophysical Year ran from 1957-58. The twelve countries involved established more than fifty permanent research stations on the solid ground of the continent. The IGY was an important milestone in the increased exchange of ideas and information between scientists from East and West after the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1953.

5. Which Masonic Grand Lodge was founded in 1717?

From Quiz History of Freemasonry - The 18th Century

Answer: Grand Lodge of London and Westminster (Moderns)

The Grand Lodge of London and Westminster was founded on 24 June 1717. Later it became known as the Grand Lodge of England.

6. The AIDS Memorial Quilt was inspired during an annual candlelight march in honor of assassination victims Harvey Milk and Mayor George Moscone. In what city did the march take place in 1985?

From Quiz Duvet Know the Answer?

Answer: San Francisco, California, USA

To remember those that had died due to AIDS, marchers created posters with the names of those departed. These were taped to the outside of the San Francisco Federal Building. The arrangement of the posters reminded some of a patchwork quilt, thus the inspiration.

7. In the NATO phonetic alphabet, "Alfa" is used to identify the first letter. Which name does the NYPD use?

From Quiz Radio Chatter: NATO vs NYPD

Answer: Adam

To get the pedantry out of the way early on, although it is known as the "NATO phonetic alphabet", it is more precisely an alphabet to which words are aligned acrophonically to letters. While NATO/Nato is used in this quiz, the alphabet is also known as the the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet. ICAO developed the system in the 1950s and it is recognised by leading transportation organisations. The International Phonetic Alphabet. is something different altogether. The A word is spelt out "Alfa" rather than "Alpha" since some non-English speakers may not be familiar pronouncing "ph" spellings as an "f".

8. The first Fairtrade labelling system was established, in 1988, in which European country?

From Quiz Fairtrade: Chocolate, Coffee and More

Answer: Netherlands

Coffee was the first product to be available as a certified Fairtrade product. It was sold under the name of Max Havelaar, the fictional character from a novel published in 1860. The novel, written under the pen name Multatuli, exposed the corrupt practices of the colonial Dutch government in Indonesia, which included the exploitation of the local labour force. The name was an apt choice for a scheme designed to avoid malpractice. The scheme soon spread - to other European countries initially, and then to others such as Canada, Japan and USA.

9. Robby, Rosie and Gort have all received certificates of quality from IFR. But, which organization do the initials IFR stand for?

From Quiz I Need Some Organization

Answer: International Federation of Robotics

Headquartered in Frankfurt, IFR was established in 1987. The organization's members include robotics institutes, companies and associations. With the goal of advancing research and development, and cooperation between different entities in the robotics field, IFR assists young companies as well as the major industries. Robby appeared in 1956's Forbidden Planet, Rosie is the robotic maid in the animated television show "The Jetsons", and Gort is the robot in 1951's and 2008's "The Day the Earth Stood Still".

10. In the UK, what do Heriot-Watt, Napier and Durham all have in common?

From Quiz What Are We? British Institutions

Answer: Universities

Heriot-Watt and Napier are both in Edinburgh. Durham is a prestigious collegiate university, similar to Oxford and Cambridge.

11. What are the titles of the three principal officers of a Masonic Lodge?

From Quiz The Masonic Lodge

Answer: Worshipful Master, Senior Warden, Junior Warden

The term "Worshipful" is derived from an old English word, 'worchyp' which means to respect. The title 'Worshipful Master' therefore means respected master. Other titles in many English speaking countries are preceded by the word 'Worshipful', as in 'Worshipful Lord Mayor', or 'His/Her Worship The Mayor'.

12. The Royal British Legion, which makes and sells remembrance poppies in the UK, was founded to help disabled and poor veterans of which war?

14. The famous painting "The Creating of Adam" is said to contain a hidden message related to the "organization" of Freemasons. Who is the renowned artist whose work this is?

From Quiz Freemasonry: A Historical Account

Answer: Michelangelo

It has been said that as you look at the hands of God and Adam as they approach each other, you will notice both figures hold their ring and middle fingers together allowing the pointer and pinky fingers to be spread further apart. This creates, on both figures, the letter "M" which is used to represent Masonry. Michelangelo's own signet ring is said to contain a carving of a piece from the Sistine Chapel. Remarkable; or just coincidence?

15. Alpha Epsilon Pi was founded in 1913 by Charles C. Moskowitz and his friends. What are these founding fathers referred to as?

From Quiz Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity

Answer: Immortal Eleven

Charles C. Moskowitz founded the fraternity because no other fraternity at his school of commerce would take his friends into it. There were already seven fraternities at that time there, and three of them were non-local fraternities. Nevertheless, Moskowitz organized his friends, and they met in a German ratskellar and decided to, despite the odds against them, found their own fraternity. The result? Alpha Epsilon Pi. Moskowitz and his ten friends are now known as the "Immortal Eleven" and their names have to be memorized by every pledge that wants to join the fraternity. Isador M. Glazer, Herman L. Kraus, Arthur M. Lipkint, Benjamin M. Meyer, Hyman Schulman, Emil J. Lustgarten, Arthur E. Leopold, Charles J. Pintel, Maurice Plager, David K. Schafer were that group, and they elected Moskowitz as the first Master (President) of the fraternity.

16. The Boy Scout movement was founded in 1907, by Lord Baden-Powell. The first encampment was at Brownsea, in England. Where was the first recognised overseas unit established?

From Quiz Are You a Member?
