Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Apartment #1: The first item of business is to get you trained in the ways of being a top notch Secret Agent... like me. So let's start here. The girls in this apartment seem pretty nice, but we can never be too sure. Christy is an ice skater and teaches lessons at the major ice skating rink here in Provo. This was also the site for the Olympic Ice Hockey Games in 2002. What rink am I talking about?
2. Apartment #2: I've never seen Amber do anything shady, but let's check out her apartment anyway. She's an elementary education major at Brigham Young University. (That takes more patience than I have!) As with most of BYU's schools, the School of Education is named after a prominent individual associated with the history of the university. Who is this man?
3. Apartment #3: I actually knew Katherine before she moved into this apartment because she went to high school with two of my roommates, so we'll take a look at what she's doing. Katherine attended Weber State University before transferring to BYU just this summer. I've heard pretty good things about WSU, but I've never been there. In what Utah city is this college located?
4. Apartment #4: Brittany and Whitney might sound like overly-peppy identical twins or something, but it's not true. They were on their high school drill team together, though. Brittany now teaches at a dance studio in Orem called "Dance Club". Perhaps that's where all of the young mothers take their young daughters for years of rhythmic training. Who knows? Anyway, can you tell me the nickname of this city that Brittany works in?
5. Apartment #5: Mallorie is a pretty sweet girl, but she does have one major flaw. She used to attend the University of Utah! Boo! As a true blue Cougar, I am obligated to not be a Ute fan. It's the worst when we get together to play football. What is the name of this ruthless athletic face-off?
6. Apartment #6: I love talking to Heather because she is always complimenting me on my hair or my clothes. Perhaps this is just a ploy so I won't be suspicious of her. Well, I'd say she's a pretty tough girl. She did spend three whole days alone in the wilderness for her survival class. At least she wasn't alone on the tallest mountain on the Wasatch Front! But if she had, where would she have been?
7. Apartment #7: I love Jamie's cooking. I just hope nothing I eat contains any heavy sleeping agents or laxatives. As much as Jamie loves to cook good food, the people of this great state love to eat it! Which of the following is not one of the traditional state foods of Utah?
8. Apartment #8: Ahh... I'm finally home. But my trip doesn't end here. I might stop for a break though and beat around on my drumset for a little while to relieve some of the stress from being such an awesome Secret Agent. But I'm not the only one who loves a good musical bite. My fellow Utahns must enjoy it as well, seeing as how the Utah Music Festival is now in its eleventh season. In which city is this musical celebration held?
9. Apartment #9: As we move upstairs, it's easy to see that nobody lives here. Not only do I never see anyone come or go from that apartment (as a Secret Agent, I'm privy to these details), there is a whole collection of flyers and advertisements on the door. One of them is advertising a website specifically for engaged people. That's probably because the BYU student body has the highest percentage of married students in the nation. As of the end of 2004, approximately what was the proportion of married students to single students?
10. Apartment #10: My closet friend in this complex, Lisa, lives in this apartment. I'm pretty sure that she's free of shady dealings, but a good Secret Agent leaves no stone unturned. Not only does she have a steady full-time job, she works as a photographer on the side. But if you want to pay the big bucks for, say, your wedding photography (because this is Provo), you might want to go to an award-winning photographer like Kenneth Linge. He is universally acclaimed as Scandinavia's most winning portrait photographer and is located right here in Utah! From which Scandinavian country does this artist hail?
11. Apartment #11: Soccer seems to be a popular activity around here, and Shannon, from this apartment, is one of the reasons why it keeps on going. She's great at organizing games for people in the complex to play. Maybe the popularity stems from BYU's phenomenal men's soccer club. What is it that makes BYU's soccer program so unique?
12. Apartment #12: Dora is a sweetheart. It's got to be hard living here and being so far away from her home in Mexico. Sometimes she speaks in spanish and I can't understand her, so maybe I should be on the lookout for any suspicious goings-on in her apartment. Maybe I'm just jealous because I don't know any spanish. But plenty of other people do. BYU actually has quite a diversity of languages spoken by its students. Which of the languages listed below is not taught at BYU?
13. Apartment #13: Now we travel over to the boys' side of the complex. I'm guessing that if anything fishy is going on, it's over here somewhere. Jeremiah seems like a fairly level guy. He does hold a steady, well-paying job at one of the most prominent business franchises here in Provo. He takes inbound customer calls for what international corporation selling skin, body and other health care products?
14. Apartment #14: I was talking to Bill one day while we were at the wedding reception (not together, mind you) of my old roommate who married his old roommate. Bill himself is engaged to another girl in our complex. He was telling me about how they had recently registered for gifts and the plot he was conceiving to convince someone to buy them a KitchenAid. What is the name of the big red store in which many people register through their 'Club Wedd' program?
15. Apartment #15: Rod is a huge video game fan. That's reason enough to be suspicious of the things he does. Okay, maybe not, but I'm still keeping an eye out. I'm sure he's excited for any new developments in the video game industry. I've heard rumors of what is popular in this realm. The other day, someone was talking about some little guy named Link battling his way through whatever to save a village called Hyrule. What Nintendo Gamecube game did I overhear this person talking about?
16. Apartment #16: Gustavo is quite the character, though I'm not sure if he qualifies as being fishy. He might be a little loud sometimes, but that's it. People around here don't mind loud, as long as it isn't finals week or 3am. The police also have their own set of annoyances. One of them includes snowball throwing. It is only legal to throw a snowball if you are on Deseret Towers field at BYU. How annoying. I don't want to be caught throwing them anywhere else in town, though. I'm too poor to be paying fines for stuff like that. How much would the city of Provo fine me, however, if they did catch me chucking a large hunk of snow?
17. Apartment #17: Tom is certainly one of my favorite people here. And the fact that he's from Canada just makes him all the more endearing. I always love to see him driving his car because it brandishes an adorable Quebec license plate! What French phrase, meaning "I remember", do I see at the bottom of his license plate every time I see his car?
18. Apartment #18: Now if anything suspicious was going on in this apartment, I would certainly know. Our apartments face each other and the sliding glass door out to our balcony gives our apartment a prime view of all of their comings and goings. Drew is one of the nicer guys in the complex. He's especially generous with allowing people to watch movies out of his massive DVD collection. This collection includes a 2004 hit that was based off of a past BYU student film entitled "Peluca" starring Jon Heder. What film am I referring to?
19. Apartment #19: Garrett is more goofy than shady, so I think we're safe in this apartment. He actually ran for BYU's student body vice-president recently, but sadly, he didn't win. So if it wasn't him, who was the student body president and vice-president at BYU for the 2005-2006 school year?
20. Apartment #20: I've known Stephen for a while now. We used to live near each other in the dorms when we were freshman. He's in a band with a few other guys in our complex. Their band is called "2/5 Steve" because of the presence of two Steves. They like to play at a local music place on University Avenue in Provo that welcomes new talent from the area as well as aspiring musicians from other parts of the nation. What is the name of this rockin' summer hangout?
21. Apartment #21: I can't let my guard down just because everyone around here is so nice! Suspect everyone, that's my motto. Bryan is easily the quietest guy around here. He's a member of BYU's Army ROTC. He could be seen last weekend carrying a love seat up three flights of stairs by himself. BYU's Army ROTC program trains many qualified men and women in the ways of strength and endurance. But the Army isn't the only one with an established program here. What other branch of the military has an ROTC program at BYU?
22. Apartment #22: Easily my favorite apartment in the complex! All of my free time is spent up here doing everything and nothing all at once. Josh and Patrick are two brothers living here and are very musically inclined. Josh sings in the BYU Men's Chorus while Patrick wails away on his saxophone. Another famous musical family hailed from Utah, getting their start in 1962 and passing their talents down to a "second generation". Which family am I referring to?
23. Apartment #23: Arisael is one of the hippest kids in the bunch. He's an especially talented thespian, appearing in a variety of theater productions at BYU. His latest one is "Holes", based on the book by Louis Sachar. Camp Green Lake never looks as good as when someone like Ari is playing the role of X-Ray. Which of the other following characters does not appear in "Holes"?
24. Apartment #24: Finally! The last apartment! It's about time. You know, I'm always up for giving someone a free haircut and Matt takes me up on that offer frequently. I do a decent job, but if someone around here were looking for something a little more professional, they could just go right down the street to the Paul Mitchell school. It's right next to that place where all of the buff guys hang out. You know the place I mean. What's it called?
25. Conclusion: Well, now that our journey is through and my stealth secret agent skills have been put to good use, I can say with confidence that this place is filled with nothing but awesome people. It's true. Well, that's all I have for today. Oh, but one last thing. Before you go, can you tell me how to get out of here? I'm looking to take a long road trip to ease some tension. The interstate I'm looking for is the one that goes north-south through the Salt Lake and Utah Valleys and heads straight through Las Vegas and into Southern California. It's the one everyone takes to get pretty much anywhere. What was it called again?
