Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Mission Objective: Obtain document in password protected vault. Sounds simple, right? But to open the vault, you need to be smart. The password is the sum of the answers of the first nine questions. You look down at your sheet. Find the sum of this equation: What is the number of letters in Mary Poppins' "super" word plus the number of trombones in "The Music Man's" parade?

Answer: 110

There are 34 letters in "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and 76 trombones in "The Music Man's" parade: 76 + 34 = 110. "Mary Poppins" was released in 1964 and starred Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyke. In 2006, it was made into a Broadway musical. "The Music Man" debuted in 1957 and was written by Meredith Willson.

2. You look down and see problem number two. Find the product: The number the New York Yankees (baseball) retired in honor of Babe Ruth multiplied by the number of varieties on a Heinz ketchup bottle.

Answer: 171

The Yankees retired number three in honor of Babe Ruth. Heinz is famous for advertising its "57 Varieties" on its ketchup bottles: 57 * 3 = 171. Babe Ruth had an amazing baseball career. He retired from baseball with 714 home runs and a .342 batting average.

3. Two down, seven to go! You look down and see number three. Find the difference. The number of degrees of rotation in three complete rotations minus the highest two digit prime number.

Answer: 983

There are 1080 degrees of rotation in three complete rotations (360 * 3 = 1080). The highest two digit prime number is 97. A prime number is a number whose only factors are one and itself. So, 1080 - 97 = 983.

4. Find the answer: Six squared divided by the number of "angry men" in Reginald Rose's play.

Answer: 3

Six squared equals 36 (6 * 6 = 36), and there were twelve "angry men" in Reginald Rose's play. So, 36 divided by 12 equals three. "Twelve Angry Men" features a jury charged with determining a person's fate in a murder trial. The play was made into a movie in 1957 and starred Henry Fonda as Juror Eight (the protagonist).

5. Find the answer. Multiply the number of days in April by the number of "blind mice" in the famous nursery rhyme then add the number of items in a baker's dozen. (Be careful on this one!)

Answer: 103

Did you remember your order of operations? Parentheses comes before addition! There are 30 days in April and three blind mice in the famous nursery rhyme: 30 * 3 = 90. There are 13 items in a baker's dozen, so the answer is 103 (90 + 13 = 103).

6. Fill in the blanks to solve the equation: "Fahrenheit ___" (Ray Bradbury book) multiplied by " __ Candles" (1984 Molly Ringwald movie) minus "____ Jump Street" (Johnny Depp TV show and 2012 movie).

Answer: 7195

The title of the Ray Bradbury book is "Fahrenheit 451", and the title of the Molly Ringwald movie is "16 Candles" (451 * 16 = 7216). The title of the Johnny Depp TV show is "21 Jump Street": 7216 - 21 = 7195. "Fahrenheit 451" was published in 1953 and a featured a world where books were banned and burned. "21 Jump Street" ran from 1987-1991 and starred Johnny Depp as Tom Hanson.

7. What is the number of theses posted by Martin Luther in the 1500s plus (7 squared - 2 cubed)?

Answer: 136

In the order of operations, the parentheses come first: 7 squared - 2 cubed equals 41, because 49 - 8 equals 41. Martin Luther posted 95 theses in the 1500s. Therefore, the answer is 136 (95 + 41 = 136). Martin Luther was famous for being a leader of the Protestant Reformation. He was of German descent and had 6 kids with Katharina von Bora (his wife).

8. Fill in the blanks to find the answer: Xbox ____ (video game console released in 2005) divided by "__ Rock" (NBC TV show that ran from 2006-2013).

Answer: 12

The console's name is Xbox 360. The title of the TV show is "30 Rock". So, 360 divided by 30 equals 12. The Xbox 360 was made by Microsoft as a follow-up to the original Xbox console. "30 Rock" starred Tina Fey as Liz Lemon and Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy. At one point, "30 Rock" won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series three years in a row (from 2007-09).

9. One to go! You look down and see your final problem. Find the answer: The number of hours in six days multiplied by the number of U.S. states that start with Z, plus the number of planets in our solar system.

Answer: 8

There are 24 hours in one day, so there are 144 hours in six days. However, there are zero U.S. states that start with Z: 144 * 0 = 0. There are eight planets in our solar system, so the answer is eight (0 + 8 = 8). In 2006, Pluto was classified as a dwarf planet, reducing the number of planets in our solar system to eight.

10. What is the password to get into the vault? The password is the sum of the answers of the first nine questions. (Look at Question One again if you are confused.)

Answer: 8721

110 + 171 + 983 + 3 + 103 + 7195 + 136 + 12 + 8 = 8721. Therefore, the passcode is 8721. Did you get it right?
