From Quiz "Nightrise" by Anthony Horowitz Part 2

Answer: 45th

As part of Jamie and Alicia's plan to discover what has happened to Scott, the two of them decide that Jamie should try to use his mind controlling powers on Colton Banes. Pretending that he is doing a week's work experience for a dispatch company, Jamie manages to get into the Nightrise Corporation offices by saying that he has a package for Colton Banes. A guard tells him that Colton Banes works on the 45th floor. However, when Jamie gets up to the 45th floor, a young man working on the 45th floor corrects him, and says that Banes works up on the 49th floor, in Room 4925, after commenting that Banes really must be a big shot.

5. What was the name of the show that was running at the Reno Playhouse in Nevada?

7. What is the name of the old man Pedro takes Matt to visit, who helps Matt hide from the police?

From Quiz "Evil Star" by Anthony Horowitz Part 2

Answer: Sebastian

After saving Matt from the police, Pedro takes Matt to see Sebastian, an old man who lives in the area known as Poison Town (due to the amount of disease that is there). Sebastian can speak English fluently and agrees to help Matt by giving him some food and a place to sleep. He also agrees to help Matt to try to find Richard, and disguises him by giving him a dye to rub into his skin, "new" clothes to make him blend in, and gives him a new name- Matteo. Matt is puzzled as to why Sebastian helps him and doesn't hand him over to the police, as he senses a hostility between himself and the old man. This is cleared up, when Matt asks him, and Sebastian explains to him that he DID want to hand him over to the police. But it was Pedro who dissuaded him, saying that he had seen Matt in his dreams, so he sends Matt and Pedro off to Salamanda's hacienda so that Matt can try to save Richard.

9. What was Kelvin's older brother's name?

From Quiz "Nightrise" by Anthony Horowitz Part 3

Answer: He was a monk

Matt explained this to Jamie as they sat beside a river, the very same river that saved the Matt from Jamie's world in the first book, "Raven's Gate." Matt explained to Jamie that two gates existed in both of their worlds (with the first being in Lesser Malling that Matt destroyed in "Raven's Gate," and the second being the Nazca lines in Peru, which the Old Ones managed to break through in "Evil Star"). Matt also told Jamie that there were also twenty-five doorways, which were basically shortcuts to places that might have been thousands of miles away. All of them had become sacred places, due to very fact that the doors were actually there. We saw an example of one of these doorways in "Evil Star," and also see one later in "Nightrise."

28. What kind of insect did Scarlett see when she woke up after visiting the fortune teller?

From Quiz "Necropolis" (4) by Anthony Horowitz

Answer: Flies

The book tells us that, initially, Scarlett thought a curtain had been drawn across her window. Then she realized, as she woke up more, that whatever was obscuring the light was outside, causing her to look more closely - which is when she saw the "curtain" move, and heard the wings beating against the glass. "It was a great swarm of ... black flies. They had attached themselves to the window like a single living organism." As if that wasn't revolting enough, or alarming enough, it wasn't even a warm summer's day, the month instead being November. Sick to her stomach, Scarlett scares the bugs away by hurling a pillow at the glass. "For a moment they looked like a long silk scarf, hanging in the breeze. Then they were gone."

29. What was the first thing Scarlett noticed about the airport, which gave her an unsettled feeling?

From Quiz "Necropolis" by Anthony Horowitz (2)

Answer: It's too quiet

Of course, she factors in the time: "it was only six o'clock in the morning and perhaps there hadn't been that many international flights." However, after a closer look at the other passengers and her surroundings, that assumption is squelched: "The other passengers looked more dead than alive, bleary-eyed and pale. Nobody was talking... Everyone was heading the same way. They were all pouring into the main building. People might be arriving in Hong Kong but, this morning, at any rate, no one seemed to be leaving."

30. Who is Joan Chaplin?

From Quiz "Necropolis" by Anthony Horowitz

Answer: Teacher

The subject she teaches is art. "She was always finding new ways to interest the girls, organizing field trips to exhibitions and events all over London."
