Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which field of science is concerned with heredity in living things?

Answer: genetics

Genetics is a biological science.

Modern genetics began with the work of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884) that established the basic laws of heredity, such as dominant and recessive genes. However, the significance and impact of his work was not realized until after his death.
2. Arguably the greatest film of all time, this 1941 film was co-authored, produced, and directed by Orson Welles, who also starred in the film as a newspaper publisher whose last word is a mystery. What film is it?

Answer: Citizen Kane

"Citizen Kane" (1941) blends genres to tell the story of wealthy newspaper publisher Charles Foster Kane through interviews trying to determine the meaning behind his last word, "Rosebud".

While the film may not have invented everything it used, the movie blended storytelling and technical tricks to a degree previously unseen in film, creating something new.

"Citizen Kane" was the top film in "The Sight & Sound Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time" from 1962-2002. The list is published every 10 years. In 2012, "Citizen Kane" dropped to #2, with "Vertigo" (1958) taking the top spot.
3. Which is a venomous snake that can widen its neck to form a "hood"?

Answer: cobra

"Cobra" is the Portuguese word for "snake".

True cobras belong to the genus Naja. As such, while the king cobra is a venomous snake and can form a small hood, it belongs to a different genus and is not a true cobra.
4. Which 1961 novel by Joseph Heller has become synonymous with a "double bind": two or more conflicting commands that oppose each other?

Answer: Catch-22

Set in Italy during World War II, "Catch-22" is about a group of airmen trying to survive the war.

The "Catch-22" of the novel is that the only way to get out of flying the dangerous missions was that the airmen had to be crazy. But wanting to get out of the missions proved they were sane. There was no way to escape the logical "double bind".
5. Who was the monarch of the United Kingdom during World War II?

Answer: King George VI

George VI (born Albert Frederick Arthur George, 1895-1952) was king of the United Kingdom from 1936, when his older brother Edward VIII abdicated the throne in order to marry the twice-divorced Wallis Simpson, until his death in 1952. His daughter Elizabeth II assumed the throne after his death.

During WWII, King George VI and his wife remained in London despite the bombings by the Germans, including ones that damaged the palace
6. All of the world's giant pandas belong to this country, known for its Great Wall and Forbidden City. What country is it?

Answer: China

China's modern "panda diplomacy" involves loaning giant pandas to zoos around the world, but any panda cubs remain the property of China.

The Great Wall of China cannot be seen from space. The claim that the wall could be seen "from the moon" was made as early as 1754 by William Stukeley (1687-1765) and was more of an exaggeration based on the large size of the wall rather than actual fact.

The Imperial Palace of China is located in Beijing. It was the political center of China from 1420 to 1912. The term "forbidden" comes from the fact that people could only enter or leave the compound with the permission of the emperor.
7. According to this 1974 Stephen King novel, it's a bad idea to dump pig's blood on a repressed telekinetic girl at a school dance. What book is it?

Answer: Carrie

"Carrie" is about Carrie White, who lives with her mother who is a religious zealot. Carrie is teased at school, which gets her tormentors in trouble. When they try to get back at Carrie during the prom, Carrie uses her recently-discovered telekinetic powers to strike back at her classmates and, eventually, her mother.

"Carrie" was Stephen King's first published novel, and is told through fictional news stories, articles, letters, etc., rather than a narrative of events.

"Carrie" has been adapted to different media several times, including feature films in 1976 and 2013 and a Broadway musical in 1988.
8. Which of the following salad would you order if you wanted romaine lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese?

Answer: Caesar salad

The Caesar salad was created at Cesare Cardini's Tijuana restaurant in the 1920s. Cardini (1896-1956) used different spellings of his first name, such as the more common "Caesar" for his different businesses. He operated the restaurant in Mexico in order to avoid the Prohibition restrictions in the United States. Although Cardini has gotten the credit for the salad, several of his staff have claimed the recipe as their invention.

Caesar salad contains romaine lettuce, croutons, and parmesan cheese, with a dressing of lemon juice, olive oil, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and black pepper.

While some recipes include anchovies, Cardini himself did not use anchovies in his salad. The original recipe also includes tossing the salad at the table for a more dramatic presentation.
9. Which sport involves sliding heavy stones towards a target, while teammates use brooms to direct the path of the stone?

Answer: curling

Curling was an event at the first Winter Olympics (1924, Charmonix, France). though the International Olympic Committee only recognized that as an official competition in 2006.

Curling was an exhibition sport in 1932, 1988, and 1992, but was otherwise not played at the Olympics until 1998 in Nagano, Japan.
10. The term "atari" comes from a game where opponents alternate placing white or black stones on a grid. What game is it?

Answer: go

While the origins of go date back 2,500 years to ancient China, the modern version of the game was established in Japan during the 15th century.

The term "atari" refers to a position where a stone can be captured on the next move. The video game company founded by Nolan Bushnell in 1972 was named after this term.
