Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these British comedians provided the voice of the character Wheatley in the popular video game "Portal 2?"

Answer: Stephen Merchant

 In the first half of the game, Wheatley provids Chell (the protagonist) with assistance in trying to escape from the Aperture Science facility. In the second half (SPOILER ALERT), he turns on Chell, forcing her deeper into the bowels of the compound and forcing Chell to make her way back to him.
2. Antoine Dodson was an integral part of which of these viral videos?

Answer: Bed Intruder

 Dodson's sister was attacked in her bedroom, and the local news stations interviewed the two of them about it. A YouTube user (multiple users, actually: The Gregory Brothers) decided that Dodson's interview would be better as a song, and added Autotune and a beat.

The original news report went viral, with upwards of 60 million views. The resulting remix video garnered upwards of 100 million YouTube hits.
3. On the TV show "Burn Notice," Sam Axe's oft-used alias shared a name with what five-time All Star pitcher, who played in stints on the Angels, Indians, and Cardinals?

Answer: Chuck Finley

 Finley's career lasted from 1986 to 2002, as he racked up 200 career wins. On "Burn Notice," Axe used the name because he had made a decent amount of money off of betting on Finley, and figured it was a "lucky name."
4. "What'll ya have?" is a common question heard by customers at what restaurant, most famous for its Atlanta location?

Answer: The Varsity

 The Varsity can now be found in several Georgia locations, but is most famous for its location in Atlanta, which has been around since 1928.
5. A word that originated on the Internet is a "flink," which refers to a group of which of these farm animals?

Answer: Cows

 Specifically, a flink consists of twelve or more cows.
6. BATTLE QUESTION: Three of these are suits in a traditional deck of tarot cards. Which of these is not a tarot suit?

Answer: Guns

 The fourth suit is swords, not guns. Traditional tarot decks have cards ranging from ace to ten in each suit, as well as a page, knight, queen, and king. Those cards make up the "minor arcana." The major arcana consists of 22 cards, including the High Priestess (number two), Hierophant (five), Wheel of Fortune (ten), Hanged Man (12), and Temperance (14).
7. Who composed symphonies with nicknames like "Song of the Night," "Symphony of a Thousand," and "Tragic"?

Answer: Gustav Mahler

 Mahler (1860-1911) was known as an excellent composer, but his list of works is relatively short due to his focus on his job as a conductor.
8. In the famous novel by Vladimir Nabokov, what is Lolita's real name?

Answer: Dolores Haze

 The novel centers around Humbert Humbert and his infatuation with the titular character, whom he met when she was twelve years old.
9. What is the first, and as of this quiz the only, country to use Gross National Happiness to measure their economy?

Answer: Bhutan

 The term was coined in 1972, and is used to reflect the Buddhist philosophy of the country.
10. The Wakhan Corridor is a narrow strip of land that belongs to which of these countries?

Answer: Afghanistan

 The Wakhan Corridor stretches out in the Northeast region of Afghanistan, and separates the countries of Pakistan and Tajikistan.
11. BATTLE QUESTION: The Italian artist Titian created several works throughout his life, including paintings named after three of these mythological pairs. Which of these pairs was not the subject and title of a Titian work?

Answer: Pyramus and Thisbe

 Tiziano Vecelli (Titian) lived from 1488 to 1576. Arguably the most famous Titian painting is "Assumption of the Virgin." Another interesting fact: He was called "the sun amidst small stars" by his contemporaries as a reference to the last line in "Paradiso," the last part in Dante's "Divine Comedy."
12. The so-called "Wicked Bible" of 1631 was called this because of a misprint in the commandment regarding which of these subjects?

Answer: Adultery

 The normal commandment is, of course, "Thou shalt not commit adultery." In the Wicked Bible, though, the "not" was left out due to a misprint, so it read "Thou shalt commit adultery."
13. Where on the human body can one find the philtrum?

Answer: Face

 It's the little groove between the nose and the upper lip.
14. BATTLE QUESTION: At the end of Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," the titular princess kisses six of the seven dwarfs. Three of these dwarfs were kissed goodbye. Which one was snubbed?

Answer: Sleepy

 Other fun facts about the movie include the fact that Dopey is the only dwarf not to speak, and that Lucille La Verne (who voiced the Wicked Queen) created the voice of the Old Hag by removing her dentures.
15. Which of these famous women was Time Magazine's first female Man of the Year?

Answer: Wallis Simpson

 The title of the honor was changed to "Person of the Year" in 1999. Unusual winners of the award include the Inheritor (won in 1966, used to represent the next generation of Americans), the Computer (won Machine of the Year in 1982), the Endangered Earth (won Planet of the Year in 1988), and You (won in 2006, used to represent individual Internet content creators).

The American Simpson is best known for causing the English King Edward VIII to abdicate in 1936 to marry her. She won that same year.
16. The offensive line for which of these NFL teams was once known as the Electric Company?

Answer: Buffalo Bills

 They were known as the Electric Company during the mid-1970s because O.J. Simpson was the running back at the time, and they were recognized for the way they "turned on the Juice."
17. According to the title of a popular 1982 book, "Real Men Don't..." do what?

Answer: Eat Quiche

 "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" was published in 1982 and written by Bruce Feirstein. Another book by the same author, "Real Men Don't Bond," was published in 1992.
18. The famous first picture of the Loch Ness Monster's head/neck area is also known as whose "...photo?"

Answer: The Surgeon's Photo

 It was supposedly taken in 1934 by a physician named Robert Wilson but he refused to have his real name attached to the picture. Some 60 years later, a man named Christian Spurling admitted it was a hoax.
19. BATTLE QUESTION: Kenny Loggins is known for being a "King of Movie Soundtracks," particularly in the eighties. On which of these movie soundtracks did he not work?

Answer: Back to the Future

 Other movies that Loggins has worked on include "Over the Top" and "Rocky IV."
20. In Billy Joel's "Piano Man," the "microphone smells like" which of these?

Answer: A beer

 "And the piano, it sounds like a carnival/And the microphone smells like a beer/And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, 'Man, what are you doin' here?'"
