Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Robert Frost said that "a diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman's birthday but never remembers her" what?

Answer: Age

Diplomats understand that certain topics must be maneuvered with sensitivity; in Frost's time, a woman's age was a sensitive topic to her so "forgetting her age" would have been seen as the diplomatic thing to do. Of course, the diplomat garners favor so he would make sure to wish the lady a happy birthday, despite "not knowing" which year she was born. Frost is an American poet who was the first person to receive four Pulitzer Prizes for poetry.

In 1961, he was named Poet Laureate of Vermont.
2. Arthur C. Clarke said: "I don't believe in astrology; I'm a Sagittarius and we're" what?

Answer: Skeptical

The irony of the quote is that, of course, Clarke is paradoxically claiming that he doesn't believe in astrology due to a trait he allegedly inherited due to his astrological sign. Clarke was an English science fiction writer and futurist that co-wrote "2001: A Space Odyssey", one of the most influential science fiction films of all time.
3. Robert A. Heinlein said that "one man's 'magic' is another man's" what?

Answer: Engineering

The quote effectively illustrates how knowledge can heavily impact perception - we may attribute supernatural impact or randomness to what we do not properly understand. Robert Heinlein was an American navy officer, aeronautical engineer, and science fiction author. He was well known for being one of the first writers to stress scientific accuracy in his works.
4. Antarctic explorer Raymond Priestly said: "For scientific leadership, give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel", who?

Answer: Amundsen

The British Robert Scott and the Norwegian Roald Amundsen are the namesakes for the Amundsen-Scott Research Center in Antarctica, established by the United States in 1956. Raymond Priestly was an English geologist and explorer that accompanied Robert Scott to the South Pole during the infancy of its discovery in 1911 - the expedition would also encounter the Amundsen camp in the region. Amundsen was the first to reach the South Pole when he did so on December 15th 1911.
5. Albert Einstein said that "coincidence was God's way of remaining" what?

Answer: Anonymous

Einstein is expressing here that the beautiful randomness of the world may have a deeper meaning behind it; he was not nearly arrogant enough to believe that he knew everything behind the structure of the universe, despite coming closer to unlocking its secrets than the vast majority of us.

He was a German-born Nobel-prize winning theoretical physicist who is perhaps most famous for developing the theory of relativity.
6. Princess Diana said in a 1995 interview: "There were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit" what?

Answer: Crowded

She delivered the line during an interview on "Panorama" with Martin Bashir - she was of course referring to her husband, who was then the Prince of Wales and heir to the British throne and his alleged mistress Camilla Parker-Bowles, whom he would later marry. Princess Diana was a member of the British Royal family, as well as an activist and celebrity.

She was tragically killed in a car crash in August 1997.
7. Plato said that "the measure of a man is what he does with" what?

Answer: Power

The concept that a person's true character is best shown when he or she is given a platform to inflict cruelty or injustice is perhaps best illustrated with Phillip Zimbardo's "Stanford Prison Experiment" where many ordinary people exhibited proper signs of sadism when given the slightest amount of power. Plato believed that only those with the ability to inflict proper change can be measured for their true character - it is easy to be hypothetical otherwise. Plato was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath who was tutored by Socrates; he himself tutored Aristotle while also founding the Academy, a philosophy school in Athens.
8. Boxing legend Muhammad Ali once said: "If you even dream of beating me up, you better wake up and" do what?

Answer: Apologize

Ali was notorious for promoting his fights and for his brashness and arrogance. He was, however, soundly able to back up all his "trash talk" in the ring, winning the Heavyweight title several times in his prestigious career, and defeating physically stronger fighters with speed and technique. Ali was an American boxer and activist who was named the "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustrated" magazine and "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC.
9. Michael Jordan once said: "There is no 'I' in team, but there is one in" which word?

Answer: Win

Jordan mentioned during his "Hall of Fame" enshrinement speech that when told as a player that he was hogging the ball too much, and that "there was no 'I' in 'team'", he responded that there was an "I" in "win". Notoriously lethal as a scorer throughout his career, Jordan was known for "taking over" games by single handedly taking over his team's offense and beating opponents one on one.
Michael Jordan is a 6-time NBA champion basketball player, businessman, and philanthropist who helped internationalize the modern NBA game.
10. Anne Frank wrote in her famous diaries: "I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at" what?

Answer: Heart

The idea that a teenager expressed such optimism and wisdom in the face of extreme hardship is both humbling and inspiring. Anne Frank wrote this on July 15th, 1944, around three weeks before her family's hiding place was discovered and she was sent to her death in a concentration camp.

She was a German-born Jewish diarist whose day-to-day entries about growing up in a small room while hiding from the Nazis were published by her father after her death as "Diaries of a Young Girl". She would not live long enough to see her impact on the world.
