Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Robert Langdon woke up in a hospital. He was surprised to find himself in the unfamiliar setting and he had no recollection of his memory from the past two days. Which Italian city did he find himself in?

Answer: Florence

Robert woke up in a hospital bed in Florence, Italy. He was first greeted by Sienna Brooks, a blonde, young, attractive woman who claimed to be a doctor. Langdon was also being introduced to Dr. Marconi, who was later shot by Vayentha.
2. With the help from Sienna, Robert escaped from the hospital. They fled to Sienna's apartment. It was then that Robert noticed a cylindrical object in his jacket. Which modified painting was being projected from the projector fitted in the cylindrical object?

Answer: Botticelli's "Map of Hell"

When Robert shook the cylindrical object, the small projector inside projected a modified painting of Botticelli's "Map of Hell" ("Mappa dell'Inferno" in Italian). He noticed that the painting had been modified digitally as the ten levels were not shown in the correct order.

He also found out that there were ten letters hidden in the painting. The ten letters, when rearranged, revealed the phrase "CERCA TROVA".
3. Robert figured out that the phrase "CERCA TROVA" was a reference to a work by a famous Italian painter. He recalled that when he first arrived at the hospital, he uttered the painter's name, "ve... sorry". Who was the painter?

Answer: Giorgio Vasari

When he first arrived at the hospital, Robert uttered the word "ve... sorry" before he collapsed. When Sienna told him about this, Robert thought that he was saying "very sorry". Giorgio Vasari was born in Florence in 1511. After deciphering the very first clue, Robert knew that he needed to visit the Palazzo Vecchio, that was located in Florence, Tuscany.
4. A very pregnant Marta was shocked to learn that a precious object, Dante's death mask, was stolen from her museum. The security footage revealed the culprits who stole the mask. Who were they?

Answer: Robert and Il Duomino

The director of the museum, Marta Alvarez, was surprised that Robert came back for another visit. A day earlier, Robert and Il Duomino visited the same museum, where they asked Marta to show them the precious Dante's mask. The security footage revealed that Robert stole the mask while Marta went to the toilet. Robert lifted the delicate mask gently from the casing and placed it in a ziploc bag.
5. After learning that the important Dante's mask was no longer in the museum, Robert received a call from Il Duomino's secretary, who informed him of Il Duomino's death. What were the key words that Il Duomino left for Robert?

Answer: Paradise 25

Il Duomino died of a sudden heart attack. After hearing the message, Robert figured out that the key words "Paradise 25", left by Il Duomino, referred to a location that could be found in the 25th chapter (canto) of the third part of Dante's "Divine Comedy", entitled "Paradise" ("Paradiso" in Italian).

The clue pointed Robert to the Florence Baptistery, where Robert uncovered the missing Dante's mask.
6. Robert and Sienna were surprised to find that a riddle was written at the back of Dante's death mask. The riddle pointed Robert to Enrico Dandolo's tomb. Which Italian city did Robert and Sienna head to?

Answer: Venice

Part of the riddle read, "Seek the treacherous doge of Venice, who severed the heads from horses, and plucked up the bones of the blind." Upon reading this, Robert headed to his next destination, Venice. He was joined by Sienna and Jonathan Ferris, who claimed to be working with the World Health Organization (WHO). The three of them took a train from Florence to Venice.
7. On the train, FS-2080 recalled her encounter with the brilliant scientist, Bertrand Zobrist. They first met in an auditorium in Chicago six years ago. Who was the real identity of FS-2080?

Answer: Sienna

When Elizabeth Sinskey, the Director-General of WHO, finally met the provost, she asked him to search for another similar code online, FM-2030. A Wikipedia page revealed that FM-2030 was the nickname used by Fereidoun M. Esfandiary. The letters FM were Esfandiary's initials, whereas the number 2030 referred to the year when he celebrated his 100th birthday, assuming that he could live long enough, with the advancement of new technologies.

The provost gazed in disbelief when he realized that FS-2080 was Sienna Brooks' nickname. Sienna Brooks, or her real name, Felicity Sienna Brooks, was born in 1980.
8. Realizing that he had been looking in the wrong location, which country did Robert go to next to locate the tomb of Enrico Dandolo?

Answer: Turkey

The Doge of Venice, Enrico Dandolo, was buried at Hagia Sophia, Istanbul, Turkey. A line of the riddle read, "Kneel within the gilded mouseion of holy wisdom". In the Greek language, the word "Sophia" means wisdom.
9. What was the effect of the virus created by Bertrand Zobrist on the human population?

Answer: One in three people would become infertile

Bertrand Zobrist was very concerned about the issue of overpopulation on the planet. He had voiced his concern to the WHO but no action was taken to solve the problem. Zobrist then created a dangerous virus that would cause infertility in humans.
10. Complete the following quote by Bertrand Zobrist. "I am the ___. Driven underground, I must speak to the world from deep within the earth, exiled to this gloomy cavern where the bloodred waters collect in the lagoon that reflects no starts. But this is my paradise... the perfect womb for my fragile child. Inferno."

Answer: Shade

Bertrand Zobrist recorded an eerie message for the world. He gave the video to The Consortium and asked the organization to release the video worldwide at a specific date. The prologue of the book also starts with the same line, which reads, "I am the Shade. Through the dolent city, I flee. Through the eternal woe, I take flight."
