Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where did the Great Hurricane of 1900 occur?

Answer: Galveston, Texas

Just eleven years after the devastating Johnstown flood in Pennsylvania on May 31, 1889, Galveston, Texas was hit with the Great Storm of 1900, also known as The Great Galveston Hurricane (before they gave hurricanes names of people). The hurricane struck on September 8, 1900 and destroyed two-thirds of the city of Galveston.

At the time, it was the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history.
2. What do Kiefer Sutherland, Scarlett Johansson and Ashton Kutcher have in common?

Answer: twins

You may not be aware of how many celebrities have twin siblings; even the animated Gru from "Despicable Me" has a considerably more upbeat twin named Dru. In real life, Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister named Rachel who is a post-production supervisor. Scarlett Johansson has a taller twin brother, Hunter, and Ashton Kutcher has a twin named Michael who was born with cerebral palsy.
3. What was the name of John Kennedy Jr.'s magazine?

Answer: George

In September 1995 the first issue of the political magazine "George" was issued. Following in his mother's footsteps, John Kennedy Jr. founded the publication, along with Michael Berman, in New York City. The first cover showed Cindy Crawford dressed like George Washington, after whom the magazine was named (Washington, that is, not Crawford). The final issue was published in 2001.
4. Where does the annual Rose Bowl Game take place?

Answer: Pasadena, California

The Rose Bowl Game is a college football game which is played every year, usually on New Year's Day, at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. Construction on the stadium was begun in 1921, and the first Rose Bowl Game held there was on January 1, 1923. It is the oldest bowl game, hence its nickname as "The Granddaddy of Them All".
5. In what year did Mount St. Helens erupt?

Answer: 1980

Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano (built up of layers of lava and ash) located in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, in the state of Washington. It is part of the Cascade mountain range, and the volcano had been dormant since 1857; that is, until July 10, 2008 when it erupted, becoming the most economically destructive volcanic occurrence in U.S. history.
6. What is the name of the School of Design located in Greenwich Village, NYC?

Answer: Parsons

Parsons School of Design, known as Parsons for short, is a private art and design college. The school was founded by William Merritt Chase in 1896, and is considered one of the most prestigious art schools in the world. Originally called The Chase School, its name was changed to Parsons School of Design in 1936. In 1970 it became a division of The New School for Social Research.
7. What is a subatomic particle with a positive electric charge called?

Answer: proton

A proton is a stable subatomic particle which can be found in all atomic nuclei. It has a positive charge equal but opposite to an electron's negative charge. A neutron has no electrical charge and can be found in all atomic nuclei except ordinary hydrogen. A positron, like a proton, has a positive charge but consists of antimatter. Dilithium crystals, anyone?
8. Which singer's album was called "Back to Black"?

Answer: Amy Winehouse

British singer Amy Winehouse (1983-2011) released "Back to Black" in 2006. She was known for her fusion of styles, blending soul and jazz with rhythm and blues. Amy was the first English female to win five Grammys. Her beautiful voice belied her troubled soul and private struggles with alcohol.

In 2011 she died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27, making her an official member of the '27 Club'.
9. Which science studies matter and its motion and behavior through time and space?

Answer: physics

Physicists study the very nature of the universe and what makes it tick.

The discipline covers "string theory" and the "God particle" and everything from the subatomic to the infinite.
