Kyle Wants Chocolate! Trivia Quiz

Answer: Faberge Eggs

Created between 1885 and 1917, the Faberge Eggs are works of art once made by a series of jewelers in Russia. Prestigious and luxurious, these creations are expensive, and Kyle really shouldn't be destroying them- it's hard to tell if the contents of the chocolate vault will even cover the costs...
While many of the original Fabrege creations are located in museums there are a number in private collections. They cost millions to purchase (in auction) and were created under the supervision of Tsar Alexander III in the late 19th century-early 20th century. Many of the eggs have distinct Russian themes (ie. the Trans-Siberian Railway, the Moscow Kremlin, and the Alexander Palace egg).
In his lifetime, Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh created thousands of works of art (mostly paintings) and some are housed in Russia's Hermitage Museum. There are only seven Unicorn Tapestries, and there is only one true Venus de Milo statue (in the Louvre in Paris). Perhaps the bust would 'shatter', but the paintings and tapestries would not...
Let's just hope Kyle doesn't get the idea to visit these places in his search.

Answer: BMW

Kyle smashed an expensive car this time...where did he get a club?
BMW, a German car company founded in 1916, acquired the Rolls Royce name in the 1990s before holding it in a joint-venture with Volkswagen. Eventually, Rolls Royce would become a complete subsidiary of the BMW name. As authentically British as the Mini Cooper (also owned by BMW, coincidentally), the Rolls Royce factory can be found in West Sussex. BMW's actual headquarters can be found in Munich. Kyle is probably going to need to pay a fair bit...these are luxury cars and very few are created every year.
Lotus is a British-made car company founded in the 1950s; its factory can be found in Norfolk. Aston Martin, the oldest selection, calls Warwickshire its home. They've been making luxury cars since 1912. Nissan is a Japanese car company which, at one time, was known as Datsun before it was phased out.

Answer: Xi'an

It's extremely lucky that Kyle got away with that one without paying a fine. He has been extradited out of China though...
Kyle destroyed one of thousands of terracotta soldiers created during the Qin Dynasty to protect the First Emperor of Qin after his death and in the afterlife. Luckily, they couldn't fight back. Amongst the thousands of soldiers (each one unique in their own ways) are different ranks of the army, horses, and chariots. Many still haven't been unearthed from the Xi'an region though hundreds are on display in warehouses near the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
These statues aren't expensive- they're priceless. UNESCO has backed this location since 1987.

Answer: A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - 1884

Get Kyle out of these museums! I mean come on! He should be on some blacklist by now.
The Art Institute of Chicago is one of the U.S.' largest art museums and it houses some pretty memorable works particularly from the Impressionist period onwards. "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte - 1884", Seurat's painting of people on a beach, is an example of Pointillism, a technique in which dots of paint are used to create the image on the canvas. This museum also contains "American Gothic" by Grant Wood, "The Basket of Apples" by Paul Cezanne, and Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" as well as works by Van Gogh and Monet.
"The Persistence of Memory" is a surrealist painting (you know...the melting clocks?) by Salvador Dali found in New York's Museum of Modern Art and "L'Absinthe" is a work by French Impressionist painter Edgar Degas (found in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris).

Answer: 221B Baker Street

221B Baker Street is the residence of the fictional Sherlock Holmes, master detective. Since the release of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories about the famous character, the location has been the site of the Holmes Museum dedicated to the literary figure.

There is no actual building at 221 on said street, but the museum states otherwise. I'm not sure what Kyle was thinking with this one, but had he succeeded I'm sure he would've destroyed a lot of memorabilia and replicas from the days of Holmes specials and the book series. 10 Downing Street is the residence of the British Prime Minister while Fleet Street is the neighbourhood of the fictional Sweeney Todd.

In real life, Fleet Street once house many of London's news outlets (including Reuters). 3 Abbey Road is home to the famous music recording studio of the same name where The Beatles, Radiohead, and Oasis created a number of albums.

This is also the location at which the "Star Wars" soundtrack was created (amongst several other major movie soundtracks).

Answer: Italy

Before Kyle could be apprehended, he folded up the shroud, placed it on a stool, and departed quietly. He never returned to Italy. Frankly, I don't think he would be welcome.
The Shroud of Turin is kept in its chapel in the city of Turin (which hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics). Notorious for its religious significance, the Shroud of Turin is said to contain the image of Jesus Christ on its front. Although testing has been performed on the relic on numerous occasions, scientific developments have never been able to explain the imprint on the front of the piece. The Shroud was alluded to in the Bible and it has been claimed that it had been in circulation for over a thousand years.
Kyle nearly destroyed a religious artifact...what next?

Answer: George Michael

"Imagine", released of the album of the same name in 1971, became an anthem symbolizing world peace after its debut. Originally composed on Lennon's Steinway Model Z, the song became Lennon's most famous solo piece and has been covered by multiple artists.

The piano was purchased in a Hard Rock Cafe auction in 2000 to musician George Michael (of Wham!) and sent to the Beatles Museum in the UK for display. Along with the Steinway, the museum is also home to Lennon's signature round glasses. Like with China before, Kyle is now banned from the UK for destroying museum property. Imagine if there was a vault there...

Answer: Lady Gaga

How did he even get into this one? In his quest for chocolate, Kyle ended up backstage at a Lady Gaga concert and jumped onstage shortly after she finished her choreographed routine for "Just Dance". Unwittingly, he bent a giant gyroscope and stepped on a dress made entirely of plastic bubbles in his attempt to reach the singer onstage. Luckily, Gaga's security was able to bring Kyle to the ground before his outlandish idea could work.
"Poker Face", released on Lady Gaga's first album, "The Fame", was her second single and it reached number one on several 'Billboard' charts topping her debut, "Just Dance". The gyroscope Kyle destroyed was seen in her "Bad Romance" music video while the bubble dress was worn on the cover of "Rolling Stone" magazine. Elaborate, crazy, and eccentric, Lady Gaga's outfits tend to be both expensive and over-the-top...it's easy for Kyle to owe a lot in ruining them.
Spending a few nights in jail, Kyle realizes that he needs to stop watching "The Fifth Element" for ideas and that the stakes are higher...if he finds the chocolate vault and gets in, he's never leaving.

Answer: British Columbia

Chronicled in "The Last Spike" by Pierre Burton (a classic Canadian author), this event marked the coming together of Western and Eastern Canada in November 1885. After several years, hundreds of deaths (mostly of immigrant workers on the tracks), and horrible turns of fate, the Last Spike was driven into the track which crossed from the Pacific Coast, through the Rockies, across the prairies, and to Ontario (and beyond). Similarly, the United States drove the last spike of their Central and Union Pacific Railway in Promontory Point, Utah with a spike of solid gold in 1865. Canada's last spike was driven in Craigellachie, British Columbia. Kyle's in for it now.

There's no turning back. The vault's not in British Columbia. He runs into the woods.

Answer: Valdez

One of the most expensive American ventures ever created, the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System cost eight billion dollars in the year it was constructed (1977). Pumping crude oil 800 miles across the northernmost U.S. state, the pipeline crosses from Prudhoe Bay to the city of Valdez (passing through Fairbanks) transporting hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil per day. Rupturing this pipeline would cause millions of dollars of environmental damage in a very short amount of time.

It's happened before too! The pipeline is associated with BP, Exxon Mobil (though not the Exxon Valdez spill), and Chevron amongst other oil companies and has been responsible for some of the world's largest on-land spills. Kyle's done it this time. No vault...
