Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In what city is Iowa State University located?

Answer: Ames

Iowa State is the home of the Cyclones sports teams, AKA the 'Clones. The U. of Iowa is in Iowa City.

2. Who starred on "Knott's Landing" as Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing Sumner?

Answer: Donna Mills

Abby was one of the chief troublemakers on "Knott's," a spin-off of "Dallas".

3. What actor, besides Jack Lemmon, appeared in "Irma La Douce," "The Fortune Cookie," and "The Front Page"?

Answer: Cliff Osmond

Cliff was also in "Oklahoma Crude" and "The Shark Treasures." He was the "big lug" type.

4. In real life and in the novel and movie "Mutiny on the Bounty," what was the name of the officer who led the mutiny?

Answer: Fletcher Christian

The other novels in the trilogy are "Men Against the Sea" and "Pitcairn's Island," where Christian and the other mutineers settled with women from an island where they were collecting breadfruit trees. Their descendants can still be found there today.

5. Fill in the blank in this line from Don McLean's huge hit "American Pie": "And while Lenin (or maybe Lennon) read a book on ____________."

Answer: Marx

That's Karl Marx (or maybe Groucho, who knows?)

6. Fill in the blank: "Guys, tonight for our poker game we'll be using all 3 colors of chips, the whites, the reds, and ___ _____."

Answer: the blues

The white chips are usually the least valuable, the blue chips the most. Guess there must be a connection with "blue-chip stocks."

7. What English last name means "a worker in metal"?

Answer: Smith

"Goldsmith," as in Oliver Goldsmith, is another example of this.

8. How would you answer this question in Spanish? What were the last names of the two best known actresses with the first name of Glenda?

Answer: Farrell y Jackson

Glenda Farrell's first notable role was as Olga Strassoff in "Little Caesar" in 1931. She was in many movies in the '30s, '40s, and '50s. Glenda Jackson was named after Glenda Farrell. In addition to her splendid acting career, Jackson is also involved in politics.

She was elected Labour Party Member of Parliament in 1992, making her the only MP ever to have won an Oscar ("A Touch of Class" (1973)).

9. Yad Vashem, the Israeli Holocaust Memorial, has placed the name of Oskar Schindler on its list of a certain type of gentile. What was the exact word they used to describe these gentiles?

Answer: righteous

This is of course the Schindler of "Schindler's List." In spite of the fact that "Schindler's" was a very serious movie, "Seinfeld" managed to do a very funny spoof of it with Judge Reinhold as the "close talker" who just couldn't do enough for Jerry's parents, who were aghast at hearing that Jerry had been making out with his girlfriend during that movie. Only Larry David could come up with something like that.

Answer: brothers

Yes, 9 sets of brothers. First we have musical brothers, like the Ames Brothers (1), Ed being the best known; the Mills Brothers (2) of long ago; the Osmond Brothers (3) starring Donnie; the Righteous Brothers (9), namely Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley; and the Blues Brothers (6), Elwood and Joliet Jake.

Then we have those notorious producers of cinematic lunacy, the Farrelly Brothers (8)("There's Something About Mary"); those cough-drop magnates the Smith Brothers (7), jokingly named by some Trade and Mark; the little old wine-making Christian Brothers (4); and then probably the greatest brothers of them all, the Marx Brothers (5), Groucho, Harpo, Chico, Zeppo, and even Gummo. Hope you enjoyed the quiz and scored big. See ya next time. Mickey. Sources: imdb.com, metroactive.com, memorabletv.com, yahoo movies
