Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'HELP' the 'PAPERBACK WRITER' obtain a 'TICKET TO RIDE'. Name the group.

Answer: The Beatles

All these songs, performed by The Beatles, reached number one in the British hit singles chart. 'Help!' (July 1965), 'Paperback Writer' (June 1966) and 'Ticket To Ride' (April 1965).
2. Which of the following ISN'T a prehistoric animal?

Answer: Thesaurus

A thesaurus is a book of synonyms and related words. It derives from a Greek word meaning treasure or treasury. On retirement from being an English physician, Peter Mark Roget, compiled a list of English words and phrases in 1852, which is still in use today.
A stegosaurus was a dinosaur with an armour of body plates while the triceratops had three horns on its head. The brontosaurus had a distinctive long neck and a long tail.
3. What was the middle name of Antarctic explorer, Robert F. Scott, who reached the South Pole, shortly after Roald Amundsen?

Answer: Falcon

Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912) was born in Devonport, Devon, England. In January, 1912, he led an expedition to the South Pole. He was devastated that he arrived a month after Norwegian, Roald Amundsen. Eight months later a search party found their diaries and their bodies, and Scott was posthumously knighted for his services towards Antarctic exploration.
4. Which of the following movies DIDN'T feature actress Jane Fonda?

Answer: Single White Female

Bridget Fonda starred in 'Single White Female' (1992) and is the niece of Jane Fonda. Jane starred as a 41st-century space adventuress in 'Barbarella' (1968) and won an Oscar as a call girl in 'Klute' (1971). 'On Golden Pond' (1981) she appeared with her father, Henry Fonda, who portrayed an aging retired professor.

In this family drama, they actually played father and daughter. Henry won a Best Actor Oscar for 'On Golden Pond' before dying from heart trouble, a few months later.
5. "Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made." Who was this remark attributed to?

Answer: Otto von Bismarck

Otto von Bismarck (1815-98) had no respect for laws and found them totally worthless. Between 1862-90 he was the prime minister of Prussia and under his leadership he defeated both France and Austria thus creating a united Germany. He was nicknamed the Iron Chancellor.
6. Who was created by C.S. Forester, in a series of novels, set during Napoleonic Wars?

Answer: Captain Horatio Hornblower

Cecil Scott Forester (1899-1966) was born in Cairo, Egypt. He created the character of Captain Horatio Hornblower. His novel, 'The African Queen' (1951), was made into a movie starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart which was filmed in the Belgian Congo. I just hope you didn't pick the real person of Admiral Horatio Nelson. If you did, it's kismet for you.
7. "Spectre" was the seventh James Bond movies with a one-word title. These include "Goldfinger", "Thunderball", "Moonraker", "Skyfall", "Spectre" and "Octopussy". Which one is missing?

"GoldenEye" (1995) was the first Bond movie with Pierce Brosnan playing Agent 007. The movie features Famke Janssen as Xenia Onatopp and Sean Bean as villain, Alec Trevelyan. Samantha Bond portrays Miss Moneypenny with Desmond Llewelyn as the dependable character of Q.
8. Which 'great soul', sculpted by Fredda Brilliant, can be found in the form of a bronze statue, in Tavistock Square, London? (His middle name is Karamchand).

Answer: Mohandas Gandhi

Sculptress Fredda Brilliant was born in Lodz, Poland, on 7 April, 1903. She sculptured Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948) who played an important role of trying to obtain India's independence by acts of peaceful civil disobedience. He was that passionate about his protests that he was jailed (1922-24) for conspiracy. Alas, in 1948, he was assassinated in Delhi, by a Hindu fanatic, called Nathuram Godse.
9. What is the name of the prized racehorse, in 'The Godfather' (1972), whose severed head is lying next to Jack Woltz, when he wakes up in the morning?

Answer: Khartoum

Character, Johnny Fontane (Al Martino), was an actor and singer who had a career which was flagging. As Jack Woltz refused to cast Fontane, he suffered the consequences as Fontane was the godson of Mafia patriarch, Don Vito Corleone, played by Marlon Brando. What a mistake to make.
10. The movie '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968) was written by British science fiction writer, Arthur C. Clarke. What name did the letter (C) represent?

Answer: Charles

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke was born 16 Dec, 1917, in Minehead, Somerset, England. During World War Two he was a radar instructor and worked in scientific research before writing science fiction. During the 1950s he emigrated to Sri Lanka and was awarded with a knighthood in 1998, for his prolific writing skills. Hope you found the quiz educational.
