Mythbusters Trivia Questions
1. This MythBuster known for his stoic manner, walrus-like mustache and ever present beret often acts as the real brain of the team. Before joining the show he competed on the BattleBot circuit and designed special effects for TV. Who is he?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: Jamie Hyneman

His BattleBot was named Blendo and was at a time banned from competition for being too powerful. His most notable commercial design was a soda can firing soda dispenser for a series of 7-UP ads.

2. Was the myth that ping pong balls at the bottom of the ocean could lift a sunken ship plausible or confirmed?

From Quiz Have You Seen "MythBusters"?

Answer: Plausible & P

In this episode from season 2, Jamie and Adam tested to see if a sunken boat could be lifted off the sea floor by thousands of ping pong balls lifting it afloat. They tested this by sending ping pong balls through a tube, and under a boat. The results left them to think that the myth should be plausible.

3. This MythBuster is much more than just eye candy, although she has appeared in FHM. Her first taste of myth stardom came when she was asked to use her butt as a cast model for an experiment. Which female star is this?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: Kari Byron

Kari is an accomplished artist in the fields of sculpture and doll making. She became a series regular starting with the second season and has had a number of memorable episodes including being a victim of water torture, being stung by a jellyfish and screaming at plants.

4. Supposedly, a jail member made a crossbow of paper, then shot and killed an inmate. Was this busted, confirmed, or plausible?

From Quiz Have You Seen "MythBusters"?

Answer: Plausible

In this episode from season 4, Jamie and Adam tested to see if it is possible to make a crossbow out of nothing but paper, elastic from your underwear, and food trays for an arrowhead. Adam and Jamie had a competition to see who could make the best paper crossbow, and Adam won. After taking many shots with their self-made paper crossbows, they decided that this myth should be plausible.

5. Which MythBuster created the special gun cotton that made the confederate rocket take flight?

From Quiz Have You Seen "MythBusters"?

Answer: Kari

In this episode from season 3, in 2005, the whole team all got together to test the myth that during the Civil War, the Confederates created a rocket missile that traveled over 100 miles. They created the missile and gun cotton themselves. The result was that the myth was totally busted.

6. This "Mistress of Metal" was an early part of the MythBusters team. She initially was the primary person in charge of welding, metal-craft and any projects involving building with metals. Who is she?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: Scottie Chapman

She left the show after the third season but did come back for an episode in the sixth season. She was featured in the exploding tattoo myth where she placed her arm inside a MRI scanner to test to see whether the MRI could rip the ink particles right out of her arm.

7. The hosts of "Mythbusters" are Jamie Hyneman and Adam ______.

From Quiz "Mythbusters": Urban Legend Extraordinaire

Answer: Savage

Adam Savage is a man with a dream; a dream to blow up as much stuff up as possible. When a myth involving explosives doesn't work, Adam is the first to decide that the structure needs to be blown up anyways. Also, a show is never complete without Adam somehow injuring himself, be it via getting his lip stuck in a vacuum motor or getting 10,000 volts through the heart from an electric fence generator. Though normally concerned with special effects in various films (such as "The Matrix", "Star Wars Episode One: The Phantom Menace", and "Star Wars Episode Three: Revenge of the Sith"), He once starred in a Charmin commercial, filling the role of Mr. Whipple's stock boy.

8. This man really adds the comic relief to the show. He is half of the main founding duo and his signature phrase is "I reject your reality and substitute my own!". Who is this MythBuster, who does not always think of safety before comedy?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: Adam Savage

Savage got his start as a child actor appearing on "Sesame Street" and as stock-boy Jimmy in a Charmin commercial. Before he started "MythBusters" he was a model maker and special effects wizard in Hollywood.

9. Lt. Alan Normandy of the San Fransisco Police Department is a frequent guest on the show. He comes in to assist when the Mythbusters needs an expert in what police field?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: firearms

He has both access to and training with a number of weapons. He has brought guns ranging from full automatic weapons to sniper rifle and provided the necessary safety and firing skills to assist the team.

10. Grant, Kari, and Tory tried to make what weapon out of leather?

From Quiz Have You Seen "MythBusters"?

Answer: Cannon

From 2010, this was to see if it is possible to make a working cannon out of leather. Grant, Kari, and Tory first wrapped leather around a cannon, but decided to make an all-leather cannon. It did not work that well, and it was destroyed after a few shots. This was absolutely busted.

11. What was the name of Grant Imahara's robot that he built, a champion of the show "Battlebots"?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": Urban Legend Extraordinaire

Answer: Deadblow

Grant Imahara, an electronics and radio-control specialist, is an interesting fellow indeed. He was in charge of making sure that the Energizer Bunny's arm beats and ears move at a constant rate, and helped control R2-D2. His other accomplishments include a book called "Kickin bot: An Illustrated Guide to Building Combat Robots", and working on various movies including "Jurassic Park" and "The Matrix Reloaded."

12. It was tested that what part of your body gets colder when you're scared?

From Quiz Have You Seen "MythBusters"?

Answer: Feet & Foot

Again, from the 2010 season, Kari, Tory, and Grant wanted to know if that old idiom, "cold feet", is actually true. They made Tory fly in a jet, and his feet got a little colder. They put Grant's head in a glass box, and had tarantulas walk all over his face. His feet got 15°F colder. Then, Kari, though she is a vegetarian, was forced to eat live bugs. Her feet's temperature also dropped by 15°F. They thought that this should be ruled as plausible.

13. What is the name of the primary crash test dummy used in the majority of tests by the Mythbusters?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": The Team Behind The Myths

Answer: Buster

Buster was first introduced in the first season when Jamie was reluctant to take part in a particular myth. Buster has been rebuilt and upgraded and number of times but keeps getting back up to be blown up again and again. Buster has even been given an extended family of sorts consisting of Simulaids Randy, Jane, Susy and an unnamed son.

14. What alcoholic liquid are many myths based on?

From Quiz "Mythbusters": Urban Legend Extraordinaire

Answer: Vodka

Vodka has been involved in many myths, used as a way to rid clothes of the smell of smoke, get rid of foot odor, or used in many other odd ways.
