Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Lawrence Joel, the man for whom the city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, named its new coliseum in 1989, was known for doing what?

Answer: Winning the Medal of Honor

A native of Winston-Salem, Lawrence Joel became the first African-American since the Spanish-American War to not receive the Medal of Honor posthumously. A medic in the US Army during the Vietnam War, Joel risked his life to tend to injured comrades, despite being wounded himself. President Lyndon Johnson presented Joel the Medal of Honor in 1967.

After his death in 1984, Joel was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. The arena, Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, is home to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons basketball team and honors Joel and all veterans from Forsyth County.

The arena was officially dedicated on August 28, 1989.(Thanks to ljvm.com and arlingtoncemetery.net for additional information.)
2. On the classic TV series "Mister Ed", it was revealed during the series that Wilbur Post (played by Alan Young) had been in which branch of the Armed Forces?

Answer: Air Force

Wilbur's old commanding officer, Gordon Kirkwood (played by Leon Ames) ended up moving in beside him midway through the show's run.
3. Which of the following major awards did Hall of Fame hockey star Wayne Gretzky NOT win during his illustrious career?

Answer: Calder Memorial Trophy

Gretzky's rookie season, 1978-79, turned out to be the Edmonton Oilers' last in the old World Hockey Association. So when Edmonton joined the NHL in 1979, he wasn't considered a rookie. He did win the WHA's Lou Kaplan Trophy for being rookie of the year.

He would go on to win numerous other major NHL awards that he was eligible for, including nine Hart (MVP, press), five Lady Byng (most gentlemanly player) and five Lester B. Pearson (MVP, players) trophies.
4. What do the letters of the sporting-goods company BPI stand for?

Answer: Basketball Products International

A division of American Athletic Inc., BPI makes basketball goals, backboards and backstops for institutional use. The BPI 8000 and the larger BPI 10000 have become very popular in college and professional arenas because they are easy to move and operate.
5. In which city would you find the University of Southern Mississippi?

Answer: Hattiesburg

Originally founded in 1910 as Mississippi Normal College, a school dedicated to training new teachers, the University of Southern Mississippi sits on Hardy Street, just off Interstate 59, in Hattiesburg. The school boasts degree curricula in a number of fields, including journalism, nursing, food systems and polymer science. Sports teams are nicknamed the Golden Eagles and compete at the NCAA Division I level in Conference USA. (Thanks to the University of Southern Mississippi website for additional information.)
6. What nickname was given to McDonnell Douglas's 1950s-vintage supersonic interceptor/recon aircraft, which carried the official designation F-101?

Answer: Voodoo

Originally designated to be a long-range strategic bomber escort, the F-101 served for many years as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft, tactical fighter-bomber, and air-defense interceptor. The last Voodoos in use, serving the Canadian Armed Forces, were phased out in 1986. (Thanks to boeing.com for additional information.)
7. Which video game publisher produced "Naval Ops: Warship Gunner" for the PlayStation 2?

Answer: Koei

"Naval Ops: Warship Gunner" gives players the opportunity to build and command their own World War II-era warships in a number of engaging battles. Players can also select which one of the four major powers (Britain, Germany, Japan and the United States) they wish to represent.
8. In which Southern US city would you find One Shell Square [697 feet (212 meters)]?

Answer: New Orleans

The tallest building in the state of Louisiana, One Shell Square was completed in 1972. The 51-story structure was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the same firm that designed the massive Sears Tower in Chicago, and utilizes the same tube-and-core construction. (Thanks to skyscrapers.com for additional information.)
9. In the biomedical/engineering disaster movie "The Cassandra Crossing", what type of bridge spanned the river crossing?

Answer: Steel arch

The bridge at the crossing was named for the mythical Greek seer whose prophecies were never believed because she lacked the power of persuasion. In this case, the prophecy was that the bridge, long since taken out of service, would fall if a train tried to cross it.

The bridge in the movie was inspired by the Viaduc de Garabit, a lovely span in Garabit, in southern France, designed by engineer Alexandre Eiffel (of Eiffel Tower fame). (Thanks to moviemistakes.com and garabit.com for additional information.)
10. Which of the following prescription medications is NOT used to treat adult-onset, or Type II, diabetes?

Answer: TarkaŽ

TarkaŽ belongs to the family of blood-pressure medications known as calcium channel blockers. These drugs dilate the arteries and reduce resistance to the flow of blood, reducing blood pressure and defending against heart-related problems like angina. (Thanks to the Thomson Healthcare website for additional information.)
