Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sci/Tech: The Richter scale is used to measure the magnitude of volcanic eruptions.

Answer: False

The Richter scale measures the magnitude of earthquakes using an extremely complicated formula. Volcanic eruptions are measured using the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) on a scale of 0-8+.
2. Sports: The Pittsburgh Steelers' original name was the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Answer: True

The Pirates were founded in 1933 by Art Rooney. Their name was changed to the Steelers in 1941. The name is based off the huge steel industry in Pittsburgh.
3. Movies: "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won the Best Picture Oscar for 2003 movies.

Answer: True

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" beat out four other movies: "Lost in Translation", "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World", "Mystic River", and "Seabiscuit". It was directed by Peter Jackson.
4. Geography: Algeria shares a border with Chad.

Answer: False

The countries Algeria does border are Tunisia, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Libya. Chad borders Niger, Libya, Sudan, the Central African Republic, Cameroon, and Nigeria.
5. Religion: The Old Testament of the Protestant Christian Bible includes 39 books.

Answer: True

The Protestant Bible contains a total of 66 books. The New Testament, therefore, contains 27 books. The Egyptians translated the Old Testament into the universal language, Greek, around 200 BC.
6. History: The commander of the 101st Airborne at the Battle of the Bulge was Omar Bradley.

Answer: False

The actual commander was General Anthony McAuliffe. He led the 101st Airborne in the besieged city of Bastogne until its relief by General Patton. The Germans sent an ultimatum asking McAuliffe to surrender. He famously responded with the word "Nuts!"
7. Literature: The book "A Tale of Two Cities" was about the American Revolution.

Answer: False

"A Tale of Two Cities", by Charles Dickens, was published in 1859. The two cities were London and Paris. It gave a vivid portrayal of the French Revolution and Britain's relation to it.
8. Video Games: The game "Tecmo Super Bowl" was based on the Washington Redskins' winning 1995 NFL season.

Answer: False

It's actually based on the 1991 NFL season. The Washington Redskins defeated the Buffalo Bills 37-24 in Super Bowl XXVI.

Tecmo Super Bowl was definitely one of the classic video games of the early 90's. It was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which came out in 1985.
9. People: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's birth name was Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor Jr.

Answer: True

He adopted his new name in 1971 because he converted to Islam. In Arabic it means generous servant of God. He once had to sue an NFL player for making a name very similar to his.
10. Animals: An alligator's genus name is Notopteris.

Answer: False

Actually, the alligator genus name is Alligator! Notopteris is the genus of the long-tailed fruit bat. As a side note, these two animals have nothing in common except for their kingdom: Animalia.
