You Don't Know Jack Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jack Tripper

Jack Tripper, played by the late John Ritter, was a culinary student (later a chef and restaurateur) who pretended to be gay in order to live with his two female roommates without drawing the ire of their landlord, Mr. Roper. "Three's Company" was based on the British sitcom "Man About the House". Jack Sprat is a nursery rhyme character; Wood is the last name of Janet's character on "Three's Company"; Jack Black is an actor.

Answer: The Shining

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." One of the greatest horror movies of all times, "The Shining," stars Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Anyone who has ever seen this movie will remember REDRUM, Room 237, and "Here's Johnny." In Stephen King's novel, Room 237 was Room 217; however, the Timberline Lodge (Overlook Hotel) asked Kubrick to change the room number to 237.

As there was no Room 237 in the hotel, the thought was that this change would ensure guests wouldn't seek out or avoid Room 217. "Full Metal Jacket" was directed by Kubrick. "Easy Rider" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" starred Jack Nicholson.

Answer: Patrick O'Brian

"Master and Commander," made into a movie starring Russell Crowe, does not do justice to this fascinating series of books. The novels cover life in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and are absorbing for both the historical detail and the adventures of the fictitious Jack Aubrey as he climbs rank in the Royal Navy. Joshua Slocum was the first person to sail solo around the world and Frank McCourt wrote "Angela's Ashes".
