From Quiz Legends of the Hidden Temple

Answer: The Organ of Ludwig van Beethoven

Blackbeard's treasure map was actually the pilot episode, the lion-slashed jacket was all about part of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and Wild Bill Hickock's "Dead Man's Hand" is not a real hand, it's a "hand" of cards!

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: Temple Guard & Temple Guards

While some players were unfazed, the Guards were typically pretty surprising (if not downright frightening, for a moment) to the unsuspecting contestant. The Guards knew just how to jump out and startle someone when they least expected it. Originally each Guard was played by a different actor, but some episodes clearly have the same person appearing in multiple rooms.

18. When did the show air?

From Quiz Legends of the Hidden Temple

Answer: 1993-1995

After that, they used to show reruns on Nick Gas.

19. What was the only room to appear in the temple in every single temple run?

From Quiz Legends of the Hidden Temple

Answer: Shrine of the Silver Monkey

In the room the Shrine of the Silver Monkey, there were three pieces of a statue of a silver monkey. The team could not go on to the next room until he or she put the three piece together.

20. To win the grand prize, how long did teams have to grab the artifact and make it out of the temple?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: 3 minutes

It's one of the longest timed bonus rounds ever seen on a game show. For some teams, three minutes was more than enough time; for others, it was just enough time and for yet other teams it wasn't quite long enough.

21. What was special about the episode whose artifact was the Mask of Shaka Zulu?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: Record for fastest bonus round win

The Red Jaguars won with 1:13 left on the clock. Instead of having to navigate all over the temple, however, the player blazes a direct path right to the room the object is in. Normally, if a team tries to go straight to the room the item is in, the door turns out to be locked and the person has to go another way. For whatever reason, though, the door to the room opens, the player runs in and grabs the mask and comes back out, much to Kirk's astonishment.

22. During one episode, a contestant in the Shrine of the Silver Monkey accidentally dropped the statue base onto the ground below. It was tossed back up to the contestant. Whom did Kirk say threw it back up to the player?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: The Spirit of a Temple Guard, from the Dark Forest

Kirk attributes the helping hand to that of a Temple Spirit of the Dark Forest. Since these "Temple Spirits" were actually just animatronic fake trees, however, it's obvious he was kidding. A stagehand or other crew member actually tossed it back up; Kirk or the partner couldn't have done it--they stand in front of the temple gate, which is too far away from the Shrine.

23. What was the artifact in the show's very first episode?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: The Headdress of Lawrence of Arabia

The Green Monkeys won the Temple Run with one second left on the clock.

24. In one episode's Temple Run, the girl manages to grab the artifact -- and then proceeds to leave it behind, thinking she only had to touch it (rather than bring it back out of the temple). Which item was this?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: The Trident of Poseidon

In this episode, if Kimberly hadn't dropped the trident before realizing she had to go back and pick it up, she probably would have made it out in time.

25. At the end of each episode, when the Stone-Stanley logo is shown, what is Olmec heard to say in the background?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: "Hmmm..."

No idea why they chose to have Olmec say "Hmmm..." unless someone was making a pun about Olmec and "stone."

26. Over the course of which three years did the show run?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

Answer: 1993-1995

It premiered in September 1993 and lasted until September 1995. The show lasted three seasons and produced 120 episodes.

27. How many total different layouts were there for the temple maze?

From Quiz "Legends of the Hidden Temple"

The temple maze had a total of 15 different layouts -- nine in the first season, five in the second season and just one in the third season. Why it eventually stayed the same is unclear.
