Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The population of the Tasmanian devil dropped dramatically in the 1990s because of a cancer that effects what part of their body?

Answer: Face

The cancer is called devil facial tumour disease and it was first discovered in 1996. This cancer presents itself in the form of large tumors on the mouth of the animal that spread to other areas of its face and, in some areas of Australia, had a 100% mortality rate within a year.

The tumors essentially eat away at the bone, preventing feeding and breathing. In the twenty years following the disease's discovery, nearly 95% of the population of Tasmanian devils died.
2. Sound out this fractured name for the Devil: Beetle sea bud

Answer: Beelzebub

Beelzebub is a commonly used name for the Devil. The name is used several times in the Bible and likely comes from the name of a Philistine deity who was incorporated as a demon in Christianity, Judaism and Islam, among other religions.
3. Which singer has been accused of promoting devil worship and Satanism in her songs by allegedly flashing devil horns in videos such as the one for "Run This Town"?

Answer: Rihanna

Rihanna has been accused by a number of critics throughout the years of promoting Satanism and other evil influences in her videos. One example is her flashing devil horns in Jay-Z's "Run This Town" music video. Rihanna has also been accused of being part of the Illuminati and being groomed for such position by Jay-Z.
4. The character of Miranda Priestly from the book and film "The Devil Wears Prada" is said to be based on which real life fashion editor?

Answer: Anna Wintour

"The Devil Wears Prada" is a 2003 novel by Lauren Weisberger and was later made into a popular 2006 film of the same name starring Meryl Streep. The character of Miranda Priestly is a snobbish, wealthy and powerful fashion editor who is overly demanding and exerts psychological pressure on her employees. Weisberger once worked for Anna Wintour, a fashion editor who bears many of the same characteristics as Priestly such as being British and being said to act snobbishly. Wintour has been accused by critics of being elitist and promoting fashion views for women that are expensive and out of reach for all but the wealthiest.
5. The Red Guy is a character who resembles the devil on which children's animated series?

Answer: Cow & Chicken

The Red Guy on "Cow & Chicken" is, true to his name, a pudgy red creature with horns and a tail with a point at the end of it. He often appears out of nowhere to convince a character to commit a mischievous act or to perpetuate his own tricks and fraud.
6. The word "Satan" comes from the Hebrew word "satan" which means what?

Answer: Adversary

The name Satan has its roots in the Hebrew word for accuser or adversary, "satan". It may also come from a Hebrew word meaning "to obstruct or hinder". Originally, the word Satan was used to refer to anyone who accused or obstructed and not specifically the Devil as it means today.
7. The monolith called Bear Lodge Butte is more popularly known by what name?

Answer: Devils Tower

Devils Tower is an iconic monolith in the state of Wyoming and was the nation's first national monument. It is so named Devils Tower because of a mistranslation for the local Native American name for the monolith which, in English, is "Bad God's Tower". Devils Tower was infamous featured in the film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" which helped increase visitation to the park that surrounds the tower.
8. In Puritan life, who was considered more likely to have their soul taken by the Devil, men or women?

Answer: Women

Puritans believed that women were more susceptible to the Devil's advances because their bodies were considered unprotected. This is why during the Salem Witch Trials, there were more accused women than men as it was easier for that society to believe a woman could be possessed by the Devil than a man. Women were also more likely to admit their guilt of conspiring with the Devil, although this may be to save their lives rather than an actual belief these women held.
9. What is a devil's walking stick?

Answer: A tree

A devil's walking stick is a tall, skinny tree that has many sharp barbs or thorns on its bark. It is typically found in wooded areas of North America, specifically in and around the states of Arkansas and Missouri. The devil's walking stick is also called the Angelica tree and the Hercules club and grows dark purple berries that can be eaten and are said to have anti-inflammatory benefits.
10. In ancient Roman society, the name Lucifer referred to which planet?

Answer: Venus

The planet Venus was sometimes called Lucifer because the name Lucifer means light-bringer and Venus was the morning star. Venus was also sometimes called Noctifer, meaning night-bringer, when it could be seen during the night time. Ancient Romans considered Lucifer to be the son of Aurora, the goddess of the Dawn, and not a devil-like figure.
11. "The Devil to Pay" is a mystery novel featuring which amateur detective in Los Angeles instead of in his native New York City?

Answer: Ellery Queen

Spaeth was apparently shot with an arrow that had been dipped in molasses and cyanide.
12. In the 1997 film "The Devil's Advocate", Al Pacino plays the Devil who is masquerading as a lawyer under which name?

Answer: John Milton

Al Pacino's character is named John Milton after the author of "Paradise Lost" which details the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden after they were tricked by the Devil in the form of the serpent. The film focuses on a young lawyer, Kevin Lomax, played by Keanu Reeves, who takes a job at Milton's law firm and slowly begins to realize just what chaos he got himself into.
13. In the Charlie Daniels Band song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", what is the name of the man whom the Devil challenged to a fiddling contest?

Answer: Pyroclastic flow
