Angels and Demons Trivia Questions
1. The action of "Angels and Demons" starts at an unlikely place for a mystery novel centered around the Catholic Church. Where do the first death and the first riddle appear?

From Quiz "Angels and Demons" - the plot thickens

Answer: CERN nuclear research labs

All the major clues in "Angels and Demons" involve a killing or attempted killing and in each case, the victim has a word branded on their chest. In the case of CERN physicist Leonardo Vetra, the first victim of the serial killer, the word is "Illuminati".

2. Robert Langdon received a call very early in the morning from the director of CERN, Maximilian Kohler. Kohler said he had prepared a plane to fetch Langdon to his office. Which country was CERN located in?

From Quiz Angels and Demons

Answer: Switzerland

Langdon was deep in his slumber when a phone call woke him up. Kohler said he got Langdon's number from his website. At first, Langdon was reluctant to go but he changed his mind after he saw the image that was faxed to him. The image showed a dead man who was brutally murdered with the ambigrammatic word "illuminati" branded on his chest. Kohler informed Langdon that his office was just an hour away from Langdon's residence. Little did Langdon realize that the headquarter of CERN (Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire) was actually located in Geneva, Switzerland, and not in the US.

3. One of the main characters in 'Angels and Demons' is also in another Dan Brown book named 'The DaVinci Code'. What is his name?

From Quiz Angels and Demons

Answer: Robert Langdon

'The DaVinci Code' is another great book by Dan Brown.

4. What type of car does Robert Langdon drive?

From Quiz Dan Brown - "Angels and Demons"

Answer: Saab 900s

I've always thought he was more old school, probably a Mini.

5. What is the name of the world's largest scientific research facility?

From Quiz Angels and Demons

Answer: CERN

CERN recently succeeded in producing the first particles of antimatter.

6. Who is the Director of CERN?

From Quiz "Angels and Demons" book

Answer: Maximilian Kohler

You are told this when he is with Robert and Vittoria.

7. Who was the first person to be murdered in the book?

From Quiz Angels and Demons Trivia Challenge

Answer: Leonardo Vetra

Leonardo Vetra was the first person murdered. One of his eyeballs was removed in order to gain access to the Vetra lab downstairs. He had the "Illuminati" brand on his chest and was supposedly murdered for a) the antimatter or b) his philosophy on the coming together of the church and science. This is meant to shock you, and it really shows the reader just how far this particular villian will go to get what he or she wants.

8. This first one is just for fun! What does Robert Langdon drink habitually as an insomnia cure?

From Quiz "Angels & Demons": Prequel to "The Da Vinci Code"

Answer: hot Nestle's Quik

From Quiz Angels & Demons

Answer: religious iconology

10. Several carefully crafted writings play a major role in this novel, even from the very beginning. What is the term for this type of writing?

From Quiz "Angels and Demons" - the plot thickens

Answer: Ambigram

Ambigrams are writings that remain the exact same when turned around by a fixed angle, usually 180 degrees (creating one that would work at 90 or 120 degrees would be extremely hard, although they do exist: the logo of Sun microsystems is a 90 degree ambigram). Of course, creating ambigrams will usually involve some calligraphy skills in getting the shapes just right - unless, of course, you use a computer to design one.

11. Robert Langdon is called to CERN by Maximillian Kohler after finding one of his physicists murdered. What was the name of the physicist and what was his other occupation?

15. What was the name of the poison used to murder the Pope?

From Quiz Angels and Demons Trivia Challenge

Answer: Heparin

The name of the poison was Heparin. Because the Pope never gets an autopsy, he was said to have been killed by a stroke. Heparin's symptoms are extremely similar to that of a stroke. Vittoria knew this because Heparin is used in less lethal doses on sea mammals in captivity to prevent blood clots from inactivity. (She's a marine biologist). One of the only ways to tell whether the Pope died naturally or was poisoned was to see whether his tongue was black.

From Quiz "Angels & Demons": Prequel to "The Da Vinci Code"

Answer: Illuminati

The brand is an ambigram, meaning it is readable right side up and upside down. Kohler sent Robert a fax of Vetra's branded chest to get his attention and convince him to come to CERN to help.

30. Given the Illuminati theme, it is only natural that the four elements of antiquity - air, earth, fire and water - play a role. In fact, each one is used to kill one of the four abductees, but in which order?

From Quiz "Angels and Demons" - the plot thickens

Answer: Earth - Air - Fire - Water

The first cardinal to be found murdered had soil stuffed down his throat (earth), then the next one was located with punctured lungs (air), the third burned alive (fire) and the last one drowned (water). The order is unusual as it does not correspond to a traditional alchemical order - it was chosen to drive the plot as, in this order, the protagonists have a chance to locate and save the later victims. None of the four however survives, although for the last two, the investigators still arrive in time to witness the actual act of murder.
