Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. One 'NOM' which was formulated in 1969, is the Novus Ordo Missae. How is this Roman Catholic religious rite better known?

Answer: Mass of Pope Paul VI

The Mass was defined following the Second Vatican Council, which was held from 1962 - 1965. The Mass is sometimes simply known as Ordinary Mass.

Answer: Mexico

NOM stands for Norma Oficial Mexicana. As an example, if a bottle of tequila is on sale without a NOM stamp, it means that it is not guaranteed that it actually contains real tequila.
In Mexico, a NOM has the same force as a law, but one law can have more than one related NOM.

3. The airport which serves the town of Nosara has the IATA code designation NOM. In which country is Nosara?

Answer: Costa Rica

The IATA is the International Air Transport Association.
Nosara is in Guanacaste Province, on the north west coast of Costa Rica. It is a popular tourist destination, and has a beautiful unspoiled beach. No development in the actual beach area is allowed, as the Ostional Wildlife Refuge is there. The area was declared a nature reserve in the early 1980s to protect the nesting grounds of rare turtles which come there to lay their eggs each year.

4. Which of these fictional characters was also known as Nom?

Answer: Finrod Felagund

Finrod Felagund appears in "The Silmarillion" by JRR Tolkien. He was Galadriel's brother, and the King of Nargothrond. The nickname Nom, meaning Wisdom, was bestowed on him by Beor.
"The Silmarillion" was first published in 1977, posthumously, after being edited by Christopher Tolkien and Guy Gavriel Kay.
Tanis Half Elven is from the "Dragon Lance Chronicles" by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.
Smee is from "Peter Pan" by JM Barrie, and the "Elric of Melnibone" books are by Michael Moorcroft.

5. Chu Nom was an alphabet used until the 1920s for writing formally in which language?

Answer: Vietnamese

The Chu Nom alphabet used classical Chinese characters, alongside newly invented wholly Vietnamese ones, to represent the Vietnamese language. It was used by scholars and classicists from the 13th century until about 1920, but is now obsolete.

6. Which famous author published poetry under the nom de plume Clive Hamilton?

Answer: C.S. Lewis

Clive Staples Lewis published "Spirits in Bondage" (1919,) and "Dymer" (1926), using a psuedonym, as he felt that the material wasn't in keeping with his position as a Don at Oxford University.

7. Which company released the video games "NOM" (2006) and "NOM2: Free Runner" (2008)

Answer: Gamevil

Gamevil was founded in Seoul, South Korea, in 2003, by Byung Joon Song. The company opened its first American office in California in 2006.

8. The rock band N.O.M released their twelfth album "Extracompact" in 2000. Which country are they from?

Answer: Russia

The band were formed in Pushkin, a town near St. Petersburg, in 1986. The initials N.O.M stand for "Neformalnoye objedinenie molodozhi " which means "The Informal Youth Association".
They released 21 albums between 1989 and 2009.

9. An organisation known as NOM was founded in 2007 by Princeton professor Robert P. George, and writer Maggie Gallagher. What does NOM stand for?

Answer: National Organization for Marriage

The National Organization for Marriage advocates for the legal marriage of same-sex couples in the United States.
Perhaps the highest profile campaign of NOM was in 2008, when the constitution of the State of California was amended to allow same sex couples to marry. (Prop 8)

10. Although they might all use a pseudonym, which of these people might specifically adopt a nom de guerre?

Answer: Freedom Fighter

The phrase nom de guerre translates from French as "name of war". Revolutionaries and freedom fighters have adopted them over the years, to further their cause, or hide their true identity.
Members of the special forces have also taken noms de guerre, again to hide their identity, or to avoid reprisals against their loved ones.
