"The 39 Clues" Book 8: "The Emperor's Code" Quiz

Answer: Alistair Oh

Alistair tries to make a deal with the Cahill kids to pool their resources. Amy and Dan will have none of it, though, having been burned by Alistair in the past. Even so, Alistair warns them that the Kabras have already been in China for several days, and that rumor among the Ekats is that the Holts have made a major breakthrough.

Answer: Qing

The Qing dynasty was the last imperial dynasty, lasting from 1644 to 1911. According to the "39 Clues" reality, the Qing dynasty, including the last emperor, Puyi, was part of the Janus branch.

Answer: The Kabras

After plumbing Dan for information, the Kabras render him unconscious with chloroform. When Dan wakes up he finds himself on a conveyor belt in a factory, in extreme danger of injury or death. He manages to escape his predicament, but gets captured by the factory workers.

Answer: The Bird's Nest (National Stadium)

Amy and Nellie join a throng of fans that manage to break through the security, and nearly trample Dan in the process. They don't actually see him, and when they confront Jonah and ask him about Dan, Jonah feigns ignorance as to Dan's whereabouts. Shortly afterwards, Amy and Nellie see a news broadcast that shows Dan with Jonah, and they realize that Jonah lied.

Answer: The Shaolin Temple

While at the Shaolin Temple, Dan gets a lesson in Kung Fu and then follows that up by finding a clue in a cave way up the mountain near the Bodhidharma statue. A wrapped bundle of broken test tubes that were a testament to the fire that destroyed the ancestral Cahill family home.

There was also a small locket with the picture of a woman who looked amazingly like his mother, but obviously couldn't be.

Answer: 400 yuan

Four hundred yuan worked out to about 59 US dollars. With Dan and Jonah somewhere else entirely, Amy and Nellie decide that the best thing to do is to continue the clue hunt. They go back to the Wall the next day, and actually find a visual clue that points them to "where the Earth meets the sky," clarifying the cryptic statement learned earlier from the last Emperor, Puyi.

Answer: Jonah Wizard

Jonah has the opportunity to leave unseen, but his conscience gets the better of him, and he returns to save Dan from his attacker. It turns out to have dire consequences, as no less than six terracotta statues are destroyed. They both get captured by the authorities -- who could imagine the great rap star Jonah Wizard being involved in such an event?

Answer: False

Dan actually exclaims, "I'm a Madrigal!" before he runs out the door, leaving the Wizards with their mouths hanging open in shock.

Answer: A helicopter

The Ecureuil/A-Star 350 is an ultralight helicopter that the French government landed at the peak of Everest in 2005. At first, the pilot of the helicopter will have nothing to do with Dan and Amy and their crazy request to fly to the summit. After a mysterious phone call by Nellie, though, he accedes to their wishes.

Answer: No one

Amy had the Clue in hand, but dropped it in an instant when Ian Kabra almost fell. She sacrificed the Clue to save Ian. What Amy realized, though, was that each branch's serum (this one was the Janus serum), when combined, would make a master serum. THAT was what the 39 Clues was all about!
