Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. One of the discoverers of Lawrencium shares a last name with a person who was involved in a court case against the Attorney General of Canada. Where was this second person born?

Answer: Jamaica

The element Lawrencium was discovered in 1961 by Albert Ghiorso, Torbj�rn Sikkeland, Almon E. Larsh, and Robert M. Latimer. Almon E. Larsh shares a last name with Hanna Bell Larsh, who was involved in Larsh v. Canada (Attorney General), a court case heard in 1999. Larsh was originally born in Jamaica, but she moved to Canada in 1990 under the Foreign Domestics Program.

2. The guitarist of the band SpineShank has the same last name as a former official of a certain country. What was this official's country and position?

Answer: Armenia - Minister of Defense

Serzhik Sarkisyan was the Defense Minister of Armenia. He shares last names with Mike Sarkisyan, the guitarist for the band SpineShank. Serzhik Sarkisyan visited the U.S. Pentagon on March 20, 2002 to discuss various security issues.

3. President George W. Bush has publicly and poetically referred to his wife as which of the following?

Answer: A lump in his bed

The following is an excerpt from a "poem" released by Bush:
"Roses are red / Violets are blue / Oh my, lump in the bed / How I've missed you."

4. In mathematics, let n = (infinity). What is n * (1/n)?

Answer: undefined

The inverse of (infinity) is 0. This makes sense since the opposite of everything should be nothing. Zero times anything is zero. (Infinity) times anything is (infinity). These rules cannot coexist, so (infinity) times its inverse, zero, is undefined.

Answer: Rivers and Harbors Bill vetoed

Abraham van Calraet painted "Still-Life with Peaches and Grapes." He obviously shares a first name with Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was the 16th president. If n = 16, then (((2n+4)/3)+.5*n) = (12 + 1 + 8) = 21. President 21 was Chester A. Arthur. The Rivers and Harbors Bill was vetoed by Arthur.

Answer: .429

The Confederate officer who ordered said volley was John Barry. This volley, which wounded and eventually led to the death of General Lee's beloved Stonewall Jackson, was subordinately significant to the Civil War. John Barry's name is homophonical to Jon Barry, a player in the NBA. During the 1999-2000 NBA season, Jon Barry shot .429 in 3-point shooting percentage.

This ranked him 9th in the league for that season.

Answer: 8 humans with its poison

The key here is knowing what the first boss in Final Fantasy Legend is. This game, created for GameBoy and released in 1989, featured a first boss known as P-Frog, short for poisonous frog. From there on out, the process is quite simple. "Phyllobates Terriblis" is the desired species of poisonous frogs, and these frogs can secrete a poison potent enough that one such frog alone can kill 8 adult humans.

8. The first name of the artist credited with the song "Roc Ya Body, Mic Check 1, 2" is also the name of a main character in a book by what author?

Answer: Jodie Larsen

The artist credited with the aforementioned song (currently one of my favorites) is Stagga Lee. Interestingly enough, "Stagga" is the name of the main character -- a dog -- in a book titled "At First Sight" by author Jodie Larsen.

Answer: Film "Sleeper" released

Frank J. Zamboni created the Zamboni machine. He also established "Iceland," which is the name of a country that is famous in part for its volcanoes. The volcano Heimaey seriously endangered the town of Vestmannaeyjar, which happened to be the country's most important fishing port. This eruption occurred in 1973, which was the same year the movie "Sleeper" was released.

10. There is a type of turn in skiing known as a "Stem Christie." Which of the following events occurred in the same town where this skiing term was first coined?

Answer: Sami hunger strike

The term "Stem Christie" was coined in Christiania, a town in Norway now called Oslo. In 1979, a Sami hunger strike was staged in Oslo. As a side note, Butch Cassidy's first bank robbery was in Telluride, Colorado. Telluride, of course, is a popular skiing town.
