Question 1 of 10
1. Walking down South Street in where else but South Philly, I get lost in what my eyes see. Outside the Theatre of the Living Arts I spot a discarded ticket stub that reads: October 1, 2002 - Town Hall opening for The Wailers. What style of music did this concert feature? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. I'm in Paris now, for no other reason than it's springtime and the steps of the Sacre Coeur are hailing my weary bum and gazing eyes. The view from up here is awe-inspiring, but once again my eyes taken their preference of the ground below. I notice a miniature poster that reads: "Libre Mumia!" What on earth is Mumia, I wonder? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. There's a park...oh yes, I'm strolling through it...birds...fountains...lovers necking...a man with dreads playin' the "gitfiddle"...and a brochure laying on the grass. I pick it up...I read it, slowly translating the words in my head as I do so, and this is what I think it says...founded by the Romans, (blank) is the highest navigable point of the Guadalquivir River...something something port city...El Puente Romano? What city am I in? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Counting banana slugs along the path, I don't notice the trail posting that I walk past. No worries, I've been hiking through the Cascades since I was a little boy and judging by the shape and color of the sign, I'm going to assume that it probably said something like "Beware of the Wolverine, Lynx, Gopher Snake, and the Cougar". Which of these animals am I probably wrong about being listed on the sign? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. My feet are tired now from all this walking and I decide to hop on to one of those guided tour buses. Barcelona is the city that I'm visiting and stopped at a red light at the intersection of Carrer de Bailen and the Gran Via, our guide points to a patch of street pavement through the window. "This is where (blank), an architect native to Barcelona, was hit and killed by a tram," she says. Who is this legend that she speaks of?

Answer: (first or last name)
Question 6 of 10
6. Walking down Sea-Town, I see how far I can kick a can before I lose it in the street, bushes, or a bottomless pit. Kicking the can, I'm reminded of an article I once saw on the cover of the Wall Street Journal. The article was dissecting the rumor that the Yellow 5 ingredient in a certain carbonated beverage lowered the sperm count of the individual who drank it on a daily basis. What kind of pop can am I probably kicking? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. I'm standing on a star, and if I had a second set of eyes on the top of my skull I would see that I was not the only one focusing on the cement below. Michael J. Fox, a recent entry to this studded club, is the name that I'm staring at. The 'Back to the Future' series is my favorite trilogy and my favorite character is the one who says, "So why don't you make like a tree and get outta here". Who is this character?

Answer: (Full or last name)
Question 8 of 10
8. The rain is pouring down and Ribbonworms, Red Wrigglers, Mealworms, and Nightcrawlers are surfacing everywhere. All of these are indeed types of worms, but I am obviously lying about spotting one of the mentioned species. Which one? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. I'm walking through the North End section of Boston following a red painted line that seems to go on forever with no sight of the start or finish. What does this stripe symbolize? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Sick of walking, I'm running now. I'm running as if speed is the only thing keeping me alive. I'm running until my shirt clings to my chest by the glue of my perspiration, I'm running until my once uniformed breaths of sweet oxygen become desperate pants for comfort. I'm running until...aching, sometimes sharp pains now torment the lower fronts of my legs. I think I am suffering from Medial Tibia Stress Syndrome or what runners commonly call...?

Answer: (two words)

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Walking down South Street in where else but South Philly, I get lost in what my eyes see. Outside the Theatre of the Living Arts I spot a discarded ticket stub that reads: October 1, 2002 - Town Hall opening for The Wailers. What style of music did this concert feature?

Answer: Reggae/Jam Band

The Wailers, as in former back-up band to the legendary Bob Marley still featuring one original member (the drummer I think) and Town Hall as in the band that everybody's friends with because they play in Philly practically every other week.
2. I'm in Paris now, for no other reason than it's springtime and the steps of the Sacre Coeur are hailing my weary bum and gazing eyes. The view from up here is awe-inspiring, but once again my eyes taken their preference of the ground below. I notice a miniature poster that reads: "Libre Mumia!" What on earth is Mumia, I wonder?

Answer: An imprisoned activist/journalist

Brick by Brick. Wall by Wall. We're going to free Mumia Abu-Jamal! This guy is imprisoned in Pennsylvania, but has a strong following of supporters in France.
3. There's a park...oh yes, I'm strolling through it...birds...fountains...lovers necking...a man with dreads playin' the "gitfiddle"...and a brochure laying on the grass. I pick it up...I read it, slowly translating the words in my head as I do so, and this is what I think it says...founded by the Romans, (blank) is the highest navigable point of the Guadalquivir River...something something port city...El Puente Romano? What city am I in?

Answer: Cordoba

Home of the Great Mosque or Mezquita which was built in 785AD and can still be toured today. Truly an amazing structure from the inside if you're into that old, historically important stuff.
4. Counting banana slugs along the path, I don't notice the trail posting that I walk past. No worries, I've been hiking through the Cascades since I was a little boy and judging by the shape and color of the sign, I'm going to assume that it probably said something like "Beware of the Wolverine, Lynx, Gopher Snake, and the Cougar". Which of these animals am I probably wrong about being listed on the sign?

Answer: Gopher Snake

To be honest, I am probably wrong about three of these animals. The Wolverine and the Lynx are dangerous animals and can be found in the Cascade mountains, although they are rarely encountered. The cougar is probably the animal you would worry most about when taking hikes through this range, so that one's fine. Gopher snakes, however, are harmless and there is no need to "beware" of them.
5. My feet are tired now from all this walking and I decide to hop on to one of those guided tour buses. Barcelona is the city that I'm visiting and stopped at a red light at the intersection of Carrer de Bailen and the Gran Via, our guide points to a patch of street pavement through the window. "This is where (blank), an architect native to Barcelona, was hit and killed by a tram," she says. Who is this legend that she speaks of?

Answer: Antonio Gaudi

When Gaudi died in 1926, he was so poorly dressed and unkept that taxi drivers refused to take him to the hospital on assumption that he was just some dirty vagabond instead of the renowned architect that he in actuality was. If you're not familiar with the man, take a trip to Barcelona and you will see examples of his genius on what seems like every street corner.
6. Walking down Sea-Town, I see how far I can kick a can before I lose it in the street, bushes, or a bottomless pit. Kicking the can, I'm reminded of an article I once saw on the cover of the Wall Street Journal. The article was dissecting the rumor that the Yellow 5 ingredient in a certain carbonated beverage lowered the sperm count of the individual who drank it on a daily basis. What kind of pop can am I probably kicking?

Answer: Mountain Dew

It is provable that Yellow 5 may cause allergies or hyperactivity in children, but its effects as a contraceptive are highly doubted.
7. I'm standing on a star, and if I had a second set of eyes on the top of my skull I would see that I was not the only one focusing on the cement below. Michael J. Fox, a recent entry to this studded club, is the name that I'm staring at. The 'Back to the Future' series is my favorite trilogy and my favorite character is the one who says, "So why don't you make like a tree and get outta here". Who is this character?

Answer: Biff Tannen

Did you know that Corey Hart was originally offered the part for Marty, but it was later given to Mr. Fox because Corey said that he wanted to concentrate primarily on his music. Silly Corey.

The joke was supposed to be - Make like a tree and leave.
8. The rain is pouring down and Ribbonworms, Red Wrigglers, Mealworms, and Nightcrawlers are surfacing everywhere. All of these are indeed types of worms, but I am obviously lying about spotting one of the mentioned species. Which one?

Answer: Ribbonworms

Ribbonworms are parasitic and too small to notice popping out of the earth. I don't even know if they live in soil, but either way...
9. I'm walking through the North End section of Boston following a red painted line that seems to go on forever with no sight of the start or finish. What does this stripe symbolize?

Answer: The Freedom Trail

The Freedom Trail stops at sixteen historically significent sites that all played a role in America's fight for independance. Yay freedom!
10. Sick of walking, I'm running now. I'm running as if speed is the only thing keeping me alive. I'm running until my shirt clings to my chest by the glue of my perspiration, I'm running until my once uniformed breaths of sweet oxygen become desperate pants for comfort. I'm running until...aching, sometimes sharp pains now torment the lower fronts of my legs. I think I am suffering from Medial Tibia Stress Syndrome or what runners commonly call...?

Answer: shin splints

Ummm...nothing really to add here...they hurt...and they're hard to get rid of.
