Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is known under the name 'Good Charlotte'?

Answer: A punk rock band

They took the name 'Good Charlotte' from a children's book: 'Good Charlotte: The Girls of Good Day Orphanage' by Carol Beach York. The band has a cameo in Not Another Teen Movie playing at the school prom. Their music however belongs in an other quiz of mine: 'Ugly Things'. Personal opinion of course!

2. In the evergreen western 'The Good, The Bad and The Ugly', the 'Good' part was played by Clint Eastwood. What is the name of the character so wonderfully portrayed by Clint?

Answer: Blondie

Blondie was also called 'The man with no name'. 'Angel Eyes' as well as Sentenza, are 'The Bad' played by Lee Van Cleef. Eli Wallach was in the role of Tuco Ramirez, the ugly one with the nickname 'The Rat'.

3. Gooding is the largest city of Gooding County (about 4,000 inhabitants) and is named after Frank R. Gooding. In which US state can we find this immense metropolis?

Answer: Idaho

The original name of Gooding was Toponis. Frank R. Gooding was a local sheep rancher who became a prominent political figure in the early 20th Century as Governor of Idaho and a United States Senator.

4. What is the company name of a well known tire manufacturer, also often to be found on blimps?

Answer: Goodyear

Goodyear started manufacturing Blimps in 1925. The first one was a Public Relations airship with the name of the tire company on its side. The never stopped producing them.

5. When in Ireland you hear 'Good Craic'. What are they saying?

Answer: That they are having a good time.

The phrase is also used outside Ireland, but it sounds best with a thick Irish accent.

Answer: Adrian Cronauer

Adrian Cronauer stated that the film is about 45% accurate. He was not anti-war but more anti-foolishness. He would do great on Funtrivia as he was a Mensa member.

Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) was also a controversial DJ who introduced Afro-American music into the Rock 'n Roll scene. Harry Chapin is the singer songwriter who created the song 'W.O.L.D.' (I am the morning DJ). DJ Tiesto is the world's best modern DJ born in the Netherlands (no patriotism intended).

7. Which of these translations of the word 'good' is misspelled?

Answer: Goet (Dutch)

The Dutch word for 'good' is 'goed', so 'goet' is wrong. The other translations are all good and mean 'good' and are therefore the wrong answers.

Answer: Republic of Georgia (Europe)

Katie Melua was born in 1984 in Georgia (former Soviet Union) in the capital Tbilisi. She left Georgia with her family to Belfast because her father (a heart surgeon) moved there. Her albums 'Call Off The Search' and 'Piece by Piece' are beyond 'Good'. They are perfect, to my taste at least! She makes this genre appreciable for audience unfamiliar to blues or jazz.

9. GOODS not only fits in this 'Good Things' quiz but is also an abbreviation used at NASA. What does GOODS mean?

Answer: Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey

GOODS unites space-based and land-based observations to observe the extremely deep space and distant universe. It is the combined force of the Spitzer and Hubble Space telescopes, Chandra, ESA's XMM-Newton, complemented by ground-based imaging and spectroscopy. I think my own invented 'galactic' answer would have been better though.

10. I hope this 'Good Things' quiz is a good quiz. Which of these possibilities does NOT belong in a good quiz?

Answer: Copied text from other website to make sure the answers are correct and informative

Copying text is actually a form of plagiarism and is not acceptable or even legal. It is also a good thing to read the specific quiz instructions before you submit a quiz. I hope you enjoyed mine.
