Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Bermuda Triangle has an alternate name not based on geography. What is it?

Answer: Devil's Triangle

The mystery of the Bermuda Triangle is an urban legend. It is often considered a paranormal place. The Bahamas lie within the region; all other waters not part of the claimed Bahamas maritime zone are international waters.
2. The Bermuda Triangle is usually defined by three Caribbean or Atlantic cities that form the triangle. Which one of these isn't a city that forms the boundary?

Answer: Nassau, the Bahamas

In most books, the triangle is defined by Hamilton, San Juan, and Miami. Some authors add the Gulf of Mexico to the triangle, the Azores, and/or all the area in between. The area includes commonly traveled tourist destinations, with cruise ships regularly sailing through the waters.
3. The first story of mysterious disappearances in the triangle was published in an article by what news agency?

Answer: Associated Press

On September 16, 1950, an article in the Associated Press mentioned the disappearances in the triangle. It was the first time someone publicly suggested that something unusual was going on there. The article was written by E.V.W. Jones.
4. In 1952, "Fate" magazine published an article about the loss of planes and ships in the triangle. What was the article titled?

Answer: Sea Mystery at Our Back Door

The article was written by George X. Sand. He wrote about the loss of planes and ships in the area, including the loss of Flight 19. The article was the first one to specify any boundaries of the triangle, and they have remained the most common ones.
5. Remaining technology from Atlantis has been blamed for disappearances. This technology is linked to what rock compound?

Answer: Bimini Road

The island of Bimini is the closest Bahamian island to the United States, which sometimes places it in the triangle. The formation lies near Bimini island. Edgar Cayce, a psychic, believed that Atlantis was going to be discovered when Bimini Road was found. His followers believed the same thing. According to geologists, the formation came to be naturally.

6. What is the name of the current that flows through the Bermuda Triangle?

Answer: Gulf Stream

This current flows at a surface velocity of 5.6 miles per hour. You could call the Gulf Stream a "river within an ocean". The Gulf Stream can transport small boats that land on the water, and can throw boats off track.

7. What gas has been thought to cause ships to sink in the triangle by decreasing the water's buoyancy?

Answer: Methane

Methane gas could cause the ship to sink very suddenly. The methane theory, however, cannot explain lost planes. Methane hydrates are under the continental shelf of the triangle, and methane coming out of the shelf would cause ships to sink quickly by decreasing the water's buoyancy.

8. Which of these ships was lost at sea in March 1918 and is connected to the Bermuda Triangle?

Answer: USS Cyclops

The USS Cyclops was sailing to Baltimore from Rio de Janeiro when it disappeared. It left Rio de Janeiro on February 16th, 1918. After stopping in Barbados, it went back to its journey. It was scheduled to arrive in Baltimore on March 13th, but it disappeared and was never found.

The ship was rumored to have been seen on March 9th near Virginia, but that wasn't really possible, because the position was a day from Baltimore. The Virginia Cape Area experienced a storm on March 10th. No one ever received a distress signal from the ship during its last voyage.
9. This lighthouse near Bimini was the scene of the mysterious disappearance of its two keepers in 1969. What lighthouse am I describing?

Answer: Great Isaac Lighthouse

The disappearance, in popular culture, is another Bermuda Triangle incident. The Great Isaac Lighthouse was established in 1859, and on August 4th, 1969, its two keepers were found missing when the lighthouse was found vacant. They were never found.
10. What ship sank off the coast of Florida in 1963 and is linked to the Bermuda Triangle?

Answer: SS Marine Sulphur Queen

A large 15,260 ton load of sulphur was one of the things the SS Marine Sulphur Queen was carrying. It departed on its last voyage from Beaumont, Texas on February 2nd, 1969. On February 6th it was deemed missing. A search of the Florida Straits that lasted 19 days yielded only a few life preservers and debris. Norfolk, Virginia was its destination.
