How Do You Like Me Now? Trivia Quiz

Answer: Nauru

Nauru gained independence in 1968. Its capital is Yaren. The overall size of the country is only 8.1 square miles, so it is no wonder why the population was under 10,000 in 2012!

Answer: Duck Soup

"Duck Soup" was a Marx Brothers film released in 1933. Though Charlie Chaplin had scenes featuring a "mirror" as early as 1916, this film made it famous. The scene? One character, dressed as another character, was almost caught (in this case, Pinky was dressed as Firefly, and they found each other in the house). To outsmart the one, the other dressed similarly began mimicking all the movements of the one, so the one thought he was simply looking at a reflection. Somehow, they managed to walk in a circle, studying each other, with the one still unaware it was not a reflection.

It was not until a third person bumped into one that the original realized something was amiss.

Answer: Sailor

"Life of Pi", written by Yann Martel, was released in 2001. It became a motion picture in 2012. In the book and film, Pi is the only human survivor after a ship sinks. Some of the zoo animals that were aboard manage to escape with him, however, including a zebra, orangutan, and hyena. During his adventure, the hyena attacks the zebra, and the orangutan fights back. After defeating the zebra, the hyena goes for the orangutan. Shortly after, the tiger (named Richard Parker) emerges from the small boat and kills the hyena.

When being interviewed as to why the ship sunk, Pi was asked to tell his story. As the first was too unbelievable, he made up a different one. In this version, Pi becomes the tiger, the hyena is the cook, Pi's mother is the orangutan, and the zebra is the sailor. In this story, the cook is a brute man who kills the sailor (the hyena attacked the zebra). Pi's mother tried to prevent this cruel killing, but was in turn killed by the cook (the orangutan fought the hyena, and lost). Pi was so mad at the cook at this point that he killed him in the same way (the tiger killed the hyena).

Answer: Twelve

One only needs twelve cups to perform "The Cycle". It begins with the twelve cups stacked in three stacks; three in one, six in the second, and three in the last. The three is made into a pyramid (two on the bottom and one on top), then the six are made into a larger pyramid, and the final three are made into a pyramid. The pyramids are taken down in the order they were created, but when the final set of three is taken down, the player moves it over to the other set of three and makes a pyramid of six. The other six are then made into a pyramid. The first is taken down, and those cups are then used to take down the second set of six. When a full stack of twelve is accomplished, one can begin building the biggest pyramid of them all, with ten cups. The two cups left over are used to deconstruct this large pyramid, returning the piles to the original 3-6-3 set up.

Oh, and in national competitions held in Denver, Colorado, competitors can do this in under six seconds!

Answer: Vegetable Peeler

Though you may, technically, be able to use all of these devices to slice a cucumber, a few of the choices may not be your best option. Paring knives do cut cucumbers into slices quite well, but for the thinnest of slices, and for the "Cucumber Jacks" minigame, a vegetable peeler is the best thing to use. There are many kinds of vegetable peelers out there, but the one in question can also be used to slice (and looks like a miniature handheld mandolin).

"Mario Party DS" was the eleventh in a series of party games featuring Mario (surprise surprise), and was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007.

Answer: Sophie Firth

Sophie Firth portrayed Angelica King as a baby in 2009 on the British soap "Emmerdale" (Rebecca Bakes portrayed the character later). Sadly, on December 2, 2012, Sophie's dress caught fire from a gas fire at her grandmother's house. She was rushed to the hospital, and on the 7th, she was given a skin graft (due to a 70% burn cover).

Unfortunately, on December 11th, 2012, Sophie passed away due to a blood infection, causing her organs to fail. She was three-and-a-half years old.

Answer: New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

John 11:35 is most commonly translated as "Jesus wept", as it is translated in the three alternate options of the question. The 'New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures', however, translates this scripture as "Jesus gave way to tears". The scripture tells us of when Jesus mourned for the loss of Lazarus (even though he knew he'd be resurrecting his friend).

Answer: One can find all these, and so much more

Chocolate has been popular for centuries, but as time has gone on, people found new ingredients to put inside a chocolate bar. Eventually, fruits and nuts were added to chocolate for a sweet and crunchy bar. Imitating the popular Mayan cocoa drink, chilies and other hot peppers (like habaneros) were added into chocolate. One company even decided to put meat inside the chocolate, and "Mo's Bacon Bar" was created.

This met with more success than expected, and other chocolate companies began making chocolate bacon bars, and the race for new chocolate flavors was on. Chocolate also became a flavoring agent for many bizarre things: chocolate soda, chocolate beer, and chocolate noodles are a few of the strange chocolate delights.

Answer: Interrogative

Interrogative sentences are ones that ask questions. Some of these can be direct, and ask questions using the question mark (e.g. 'where are my keys?'). They can also be asked indirectly, where one ponders the answer to a question (e.g. 'I wonder where my keys are').

Yes, I realized I used a question mark in this question, though the original quiz did not use it whatsoever. But I never made that promise for this question. ;-)
