Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was so special about the mountain Manny wanted to visit in Israel?

Answer: It was where Moses received The Ten Commandments.

He mentioned this to Belle near the beginning. We found out later on in the movie that their grandson lived in Israel, and that is why they were going there. Belle was also wearing a necklace that featured the sign of life. This showed she was a very passionate and religious woman.
2. What was the name of the nurse who gave Miss Rogo suppositories?

Answer: Gina Rowe

Linda needed to see a nurse because her husband thought she was seasick.
The name of the nurse appeared in the movie's closing credits. The actress' name was Sheila Allen and she was born in New York City. Other film credits for Allen include "Viva Knievel!" and "The Towering Inferno". The nurse's name is revealed in the sequel "Beyond The Poseidon Adventure."
3. The epicenter of the tsunami was 130 miles northwest of what island country?

Answer: Crete

The guy from Athens told Captain Harrison this. Obviously the purpose of the tsunami was to capsize the ship and it was central to the plot of a handful of survivors banding together to make it out of the capsized ship alive. I also want to touch base on a common misconception among fans of the movie. The tidal wave occurred in the Atlantic Ocean, not the Mediterranean.
4. Who played Linarcos?

Answer: Fred Sadoff

Linarcos was the owner's representative and ordered full ahead despite Captain Harrison's objection. If he hadn't ordered it, the ship more than likely would not have run into the tidal wave.
Fred Sadoff played Linarcos. Sadoff was born in New York and appeared in "The Quiet American". Arthur O'Connell played Chaplain John, Byron Webster played the purser, and Bob Hastings played the emcee on the ship.
5. Which official of the ship did the majority of the survivors stay with rather than go with Reverend Scott?

Answer: The purser

Yes it was the purser! He told Robin earlier in the film that he really ran the ship. His purpose there was to encourage the survivors to stay with him and wait until help arrived.
6. When the other survivors started climbing up the tree - many at once - did Reverend Scott manage to touch anybody's hand?

Answer: Yes

He grabbed hold of someone but it was too late. The tree fell over and the rest of the survivors drowned (or presumably did). They should have gone with the reverend.
7. What part of the ship did the survivors with Reverend Scott climb through first?

Answer: The kitchen

They mentioned it several times. This was also where Belle freaked out and wanted to go back, but Manny encouraged her to go through and she made it. This was just one of many rooms the survivors had to go through to escape the ship.
8. Belle was the swimming champion of the Women's Swimming Association for what state?

Answer: New York

She told the reverend this right as he was about to swim through the corridor. Unfortunately she could not survive a swim through the corridor and ended up dying while saving the reverend. RIP Belle Rosen.
9. The S.S. Poseidon was named after the Greek god Poseidon. Which of these things was Poseidon NOT the god of as explained by Captain Harrison?

Answer: Fire

If you listened to Captain Harrison, he listed all the things Poseidon was the god of and never did he mention fire.
10. What was Reverend Scott's first name?

Answer: Frank

Reverend Scott was a feisty minister who delivered exciting sermons and was characterized as unorthodox by John the chaplain. He led a handful of passengers through the ship but unfortunately he did not make it out when he let go from the wheel and fell into the fire below.
Mike was the first name of Mr. Rogo, John was the chaplain, and James was Martin's first name.

Thanks for playing! I hope you had fun.
