Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You've written a quiz on quotes from the movie "The Last Days of Disco". Which of the following is the correct format for your quiz title?

Answer: "The Last Days of Disco" Quotes

Movie titles need to have quotation marks around them when they are not stand-alone. Since the word "Quotes" is used in the quiz title, the movie title, and only the movie title, needs quotation marks. In addition, all major words in your quiz title, as well as in your movie title, should be capitalized. There are many mixed quote quizzes online, so make yours stand out by being creative with your title.
2. If your quiz is on quotes from the movie "Heartbreak Ridge", it belongs in the "Heartbreak Ridge" subcategory.

Answer: True

Quizzes based on quotes from a particular movie belong in the subcategory for that movie, or under the proper alphabetical subcategory if there is no subcategory for the movie itself. Quizzes on quotes from various movies which all pertain to a particular actor belong in the appropriate "People Themed" subcategory in Movies. Always place your quiz in the most specific subcategory available.
3. You've compiled a quiz with random quotes from your favorite movies, with each question asking the player to name the movie that your quote is from. Which is the proper subcategory, under "Quotes from Movies", for your quiz?

Answer: Which Movie

The subcategory for your mixed quotes quiz will depend on what kind of questions are being asked. If each question asks a player to name a movie, the subcategory would be "Which Movie", if the questions ask what character or actor said a quote, the subcategory would be "Who Said It". "Finish The Quote" would be for questions which ask players to select a missing word(s) in the quote. For a quotes quiz with a variety of questions, choose the "Movie Quotes Mixture" subcategory. Please don't put your "Which Movie" quiz into one of the subcategories for difficulty levels, this will be done later after your quiz has been played awhile.
4. You want to use that quote that Joel (Tom Cruise) said in "Risky Business", but you're going to substitute asterisks for the four-letter word in the quote. Will the question with this quote be allowed?

Answer: No

Fun Trivia is a family-oriented site and does not allow profanity, even when it's disguised with *s, -s, or by putting (bleep) or something similar in place of the word(s). If you submit your quiz with profanity, or disguised profanity, it will be rejected outright and you will be asked to replace the question with another.
5. Your question consists of the following: Colonel Sandurz: "Sir, do you think we're being too literal?" Dark Helmet: "No you fool, we're following orders. We were told to comb the desert so we're combing it." What is incorrect about this question?

Answer: It needs to include a question.

You need to actually "ask" a question so that players will know what is expected of them, especially if the question should be used on one of the hourly or tournament games. Be sure to vary how you ask these questions so the quiz doesn't become boring to players.
6. Your quiz includes a question on what character said a quote in the movie "Playing by Heart". Which is the correct format for your question?

Answer: Which character in "Playing by Heart" said, "Don't look at me with that tone of voice"?

Quotations, whether stand-alone or not, need to have quotation marks around them. You can use either single (') or double (") quotation marks in your quiz as long as you keep it consistent. Movie titles should always be in quotation marks, unless they are stand-alone, whether you use them in questions, interesting information sections or quiz titles.
7. Using the quote "As you wish" from "The Princess Bride" in your quote quiz will result in an editor asking you to replace the question with another.

Answer: True

Under the quiz creation notes for Movies you will find a section for restricted quotes. There you will see a list of quotes which have been used in so many previous quizzes that they are no longer allowed. An editor can still disallow a particular quote if it is not on the list, if that quote has been used many times.
8. You've provided a quote and asked what character in the movie said it. Your interesting information section consists of: Yeah, it was Dorothea. Funny scene! Is this sufficient for the interesting information?

Answer: No

Interesting Information on quote questions needs to identify the quote in the context of the movie. You need to explain who said it, when it was said, to whom, why, and what the response was. This information can be added to either the question or the interesting information.
9. Your question asks in what movie a character named Eddie says, "I don't know if I oughta go sailin' down no hill with nothin' between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic." This is part of your interesting information: Eddie said this to Clark (Chevy Chase) while they are out sledding. He is referring to the metal plate in his head which the Army had replaced with plastic. Clark responds with, "Do you really think it matters, Eddie?", which was said while he is polishing his snow saucer. Moments later, Clark took off on his wild saucer ride. What is wrong with this interesting information?

Answer: The verb tense is inconsistent.

Either past or present verb tense is fine, as long as it remains consistent throughout the quiz. The example shown uses both past and present tense in the first sentence ('said' and 'are'), and the rest of it switches between tenses. Also, be sure to use proper capitalization and punctuation, as well as complete sentences.
10. Your quote quiz on a mixture of movies asks players to name the movies which your quotes are from. What should each of your questions or interesting information sections include?

Answer: A brief plot description

Questions which ask players to name a movie should also include a brief description of the plot. A brief synopsis is fine because the emphasis should be on explaining the details of the quote. The plot description can be added to the question or interesting information section.
