Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What famous artist painted "The Scream"?

Many of Munch's paintings depicted unsettling subjects such as death, mental disorder and disease. Munch passed away in 1944 after surgery to remove polyps from his throat developed into pneumonia. Munch's father had also passed away from a lung disorder.

2. According to the New Testament, which one of these was NOT one of Jesus' 12 chosen disciples?

Answer: Paul

Simon Peter, Andrew, James (son of Zebedee), John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James (son of Alphaeus), Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot were Jesus' disciples.
Paul, originally Saul of Tarsus, was converted to Christianity after Jesus death on the cross.

3. The book "Fahrenheit 451" is a classic by which author?

Answer: Ray Bradbury

Some other great Bradbury stories include "A Sound of Thunder" and "The Martian Chronicles".

4. Daredevil "Evel" Knievel's real first name was:

Answer: Robert

Robert Craig Knievel was probably the greatest daredevil of all time with motorcycle jumps that included numerous busses and the fountains at Caesar's Palace. His greatest stunt was when he attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a specially prepared "Rocket-cycle".

5. What did Albert Einstein say, in 1955, that the past, present, and future are?

Answer: an illusion

When viewed from the fifth dimension, our experience of time is an illusion. Everything happens at once. To quote Mr. Einstein, "The distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

6. What is Homer Simpson's favorite beer?

Answer: Duff

I'm sure Homer, in "The Simpsons" TV show, finds most beer acceptable, but he drinks Duff regularly. Panther was a beer brand from the Three Stooges short "Three Little Beers" and Billy Beer was a brand promoted by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy.

7. The men in which African tribe have been measured at over seven feet in height?

Answer: Watusi

Men in the Watusi tribe are on the average five feet nine inches tall, but some have reached a height of over seven feet! Twa and San are African pygmy tribes while Wakanda appears only in Marvel Comics!

8. Where was famous frontiersman Daniel Boone born?

Answer: Pennsylvania

Boone was born into a Quaker family on October 22, 1734 near Reading Pennsylvania. In his early life he was a trapper, soldier, and market hunter. He took off for his most famous deeds, the exploration of Kentucky wilderness, in 1769.
In 1964, the U.S. Navy commissioned one of its submarines as the USS Daniel Boone.

9. During WWII, who did Otto Skorzeny rescue from a mountain fortress in the Alps?

Answer: Mussolini

One of the most incredible rescue missions ever undertaken in the history of warfare, the Gran Sasso raid took place in September of 1943. It involved the use of ten DFS 230 gliders.

10. In the book ''Robinson Crusoe" by Daniel Defoe, how long was Crusoe stranded on the island?

Answer: 28 Years

This book was first published in 1719 and at first, many people thought it to be a true story. It was no doubt based in part on the experience of castaway Scotsman Alexander Selkirk, among others.

11. In 1962, when Wilt Chamberlain set an NBA record by scoring 100 points in a game, what site was the game played at?

Answer: Hershey, Pennsylvania

Wilt dropped in 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the New York Knicks. Philly won the game 169-147 but unfortunately no film exists of the game.

12. The fictional hero Zorro's name is translated into what in English?

Answer: Fox

Zorro first appeared in pulp magazines in 1919. His favored weapon is a rapier and he rides the great black stallion, Tornado.

13. The U.S. Army project to establish a military base on the moon was called ______.

Answer: Project Horizon

As far as I know, it was never built, but it was supposed to be finished by 1966 at a cost of over 6 billion dollars.

14. How many moons does Pluto have?

Answer: 5

Pluto's five moons (as of 2025) are Styx, Charon, Nix, Hydra and Kerberos. Pluto might not be a planet anymore but it has more moons than Venus, Mercury, Earth and Mars put together!

15. Where is the Sea of Tranquility located?

Answer: on the moon

It doesn't have any water, of course. It was the site of the first manned lunar landing in 1969. Apollo 11 landed there on July 20, 1969.
