Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: The White House mess

A crash takes place when there is a (suspected) security breach of the White House. The Secret Service locks down the building while the (suspected) breach is investigated.

Answer: Billy

Billy points out that the Framers wanted the Executive Branch to be the weakest and the Legislative Branch to be the strongest of the branches of government because they did not want absolute power concentrated in one place. Josh grudgingly admits this is true, but adds that "...we get a motorcade, so back off."

3. While addressing the students, Josh says that, in college, he and his roommates got a fish registered for 18 credits. In which year of college did he achieve this?

Answer: Sophomore

Josh also mentions that they got the fish on the Dean's List, and goes on to say that he and his roommates "...also made the Dean's List of a different sort, but that doesn't matter."

Answer: A software designer in Spokane

Khuram Sharif - a man arrested that day at the US Canadian Border in connection with an attempted bombing of LaGuardia Airport - named Yaarun Nabi as a co-conspirator in that attempted bombing. The name Yaarun Nabi kicked out 5 aliases in the NCIC database, one of which was Raqim Ali.

Answer: The Lakers and the Red Sox

The other things he names are the Laker Girls, The Palm, the people who work at The Palm and a well prepared steak.

6. "Ah, temptation. I have named thee, and thy name is woman." Who said this?

Answer: Sam

This is Sam's reaction to Toby's story about the followers of Al-hassan Ibn-al-Sabbah. More specifically, to the part of the story where the men between the ages of 12 and 20 were given hashish and then shown a "pleasure garden" that included concubines.

7. Two years prior to his current questioning, Raqim Ali was arrested for holding a rally without a permit. What was he protesting?

Answer: The presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia

Ali did in fact have a permit for the rally but it had not been processed yet. The charges were eventually dropped.

8. When the President makes an appearance during the discussions with Presidential Classroom, he describes the women he sees as seeming "bright and lovely". How does he describe the men?

Answer: Disturbingly dense

Abbey Bartlet, who came down with the President, tells the class to ignore her husband, following that with the words "God knows the rest of us do."

9. Which member of the senior staff is described as having "...a bizarre affection for the intelligence community..."?

Answer: C.J.

C.J. says that the U.S. intelligence services need more human spies because that it what is needed if you want to "...overhear a conversation over Turkish coffee in Khyber Pass...".

10. Who said "Well, that's the price you pay."?

Answer: Leo McGarry

During the questioning, Leo said to this to Raqim. Raqim responded by asking what it is he's paying the price for. Leo never answers him.
After the questioning, Leo visits Raqim in his office and says that what he meant to say was "That's the price you pay for having the same features as criminals". He subsequently apologizes for saying that, and commends Ali for being back at his desk.
