Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Please note: The word clue when capitalized refers to one of "The 39 Clues." Otherwise it is just a minor clue to help find the real Clue. Now, on to the quiz! 14-year-old Amy and 11-year-old Dan Cahill are just about to get onto a plane bound for Tokyo when they are called aside for a routine 'random check.' The attendant takes their boarding passes and disappears. It isn't routine at all. Moments later they see Ian and Natalie Kabra taking their place on the flight. Who rescues Dan and Amy from their predicament?

Answer: Alistair Oh

Nellie Gomez and Saladin are already on board the plane when the Kabras join them. As Dan and Amy wonder what to do back in the terminal, the alarm begins to sound, calling for an evacuation of the building. The siblings rush outside and are picked up by Alistair, who takes them to his own private plane.

2. The plane that Dan and Amy take from Italy doesn't fly directly to Japan. Instead, it lands for a refueling layover in which city?

Answer: Moscow, Russia.

Alistair attempts to throw off Irina Spasky from their trail, but she manages to keep track of Alistair and the Cahill kids through the GPS units in their phones.

Answer: The Bald Rat

As Alistair Oh described him, "He was the greatest warrior in the history of Japan, but most records show him as rather hideous-looking. Lived in the fifteen hundreds. He began as a peasant and rose to unbelievable power, conquering various tribes and factions and uniting the country as a major power for the first time."

4. Which opposing 'team' takes Dan, Amy and Alistair captive as they try to leave the library?

Answer: The Holts

The Holt family manage to track Alistair and the Cahills through various technological hacks, and then decide to capture them and force them to give up whatever information they're following to find the next clue.

Answer: The Yakuza

The Yakuza are famous as Japan's version of 'the mob.' Amy, Dan and Alistair use an alley to stash the objects that they found in the tunnel chamber. They run madly to escape the Yakuza, and are rescued in a timely fashion by Nellie (and Saladin) driving a Porsche.

Answer: "The Cahills."

Dan and Amy don't know at this time just which branch they are a part of. They wonder which branch they share tendencies with (between the Ekats, Janus, Lucians, and Tomas), and they have HEARD of the Madrigals, but only inasmuch as the other branches are all scared of them.

Answer: Korea

Korea is Alistair Oh's home, and the prospect of going there both excites him and fills him with dread, as he knows that it could lead to a confrontation with his uncle Bae Oh.

8. Against all odds, which two opposing team members begin to have feelings for each other?

Answer: Amy and Ian

At first Amy thinks that Ian is being cruel and mocking, but then she sees it in a different light, and Ian himself is trying to keep Amy in mind as an 'enemy,' but is having difficulty doing so.

Answer: Gold

Gold, being the goal of alchemy, makes it the 'highest' element of the alchemical process. Entrance into the cave revealed Hideyoshi's hoard of gold, and the answer to which Clue this was.

Answer: Egypt

Amy and Dan learn very quickly that Alistair DID escape the explosion, when they find his filthy gloves in their hotel room. While elated at knowing that Alistair survived, they are disappointed that it seems as though he has abandoned them once again.
