"L.A. Noire" [Prologue] Trivia Quiz

Answer: Cole Phelps

Cole Phelps, a war veteran now living in 1940s Los Angeles, California, takes the lead role in the game. There is one other playable character, but he doesn't come until later in the game. Mark Bishop is a suspect in one of the cases, Rusty Galloway is a future partner, and Leon Kennedy is the protagonist from "Resident Evil" games.

Answer: World War II

The setting of the game is 1947 L.A., the world is just rebounding out of World War II. Although the Cold War was beginning due to Communist scares, Cole Phelps was never involved with this. The American Indian war didn't even happen in California, but along the East Coast.

Answer: Patrol Officer

Cole Phelps signs on into the Los Angeles Police force as a Patrol Officer, gradually climbing the ladder through the ranks of detectives. Night Watchmen and Captain of the Guards aren't even in the game.

Answer: Car 13 Adams

When you start as a Patrol Officer, you and your partner drive car 13 Adams, acknowledged when the first case calls up Cole's car to investigate an alleyway and Cole responds with "This is car 13 Adams, go ahead." Car 11 King is the name of the cars you drive as a detective, 23 Walsh and 18 Sigma are names I made up.

Answer: Intuition

While EXP Points are used to gain Intuition, you don't directly use EXP Points to aid in your case. Spending Intuition can help Cole either eliminate one of three choices from an interview, or get a percentage on each answer to see what other detectives chose, if you are signed in to Rockstar's Social Club.

The other way of using Intuition is during a crime scene hunt, as it will put icons on the mini map to show where remaining clues are. There is no money spending or Crime Sense in the game.

Answer: In a trash bin

When investigating the murder of Everett Gage, a witness on the street can tell you he saw a man throw a gun into the trash bin, which you can find out belongs to the murderer. The sidewalk has the dead body and bullet casings, inside the store is Mr. Gage's clerk, and there are no near by cars.

Answer: Persuade

When a response to an interview question is given, you can claim it is truthful, doubt if you think the suspect is lying, but you lack evidence, or accuse of lying if you have evidence recorded. Persuasion comes in the form of shoot outs. :]

Answer: Cup of coffee

You would think after trying to persuade Cole to buy a watch that Mr. Kalou would carry some of his jewelry, as he is a jewelry store owner. Alas, all he gets is a single cup of coffee. What is funny is that if you mess up the interview, the Captain yells at you, and you walk right back in as if nothing happened. That must be one long lasting coffee cup.

Answer: "Sword of Justice"

The phrase "Sword of Justice" is used by the Homicide Captain quite frequently, referring to the capture and punishment of criminals. "Upon Reflection" is the first case in the alleyway, "Armed and Dangerous" is the weapons "tutorial" case, and "Warrant Outstanding" is the chase and fist combat "tutorial".

Answer: Succesfully interrogate Mr. Kalou

***SPOILER*** After coaxing a confession of murder from Mr. Kalou, the Captain of Homicide Desk tells Cole to "...Get two suits, have them pressed. You're going to need them.", meaning he will put in a promotion ticket for Cole to the Traffic Desk. You do take down a gang of thugs and trace a nickel plated gun, but they do not give you the promotion, nor does your partner fall in battle.
