Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the seventeenth letter of the alphabet?

Answer: Q

P is the 16th, R is the 18th, and N is the 14th.

2. In what year was the first manned lunar landing and moonwalk?

Answer: 1969

The first person to set foot on the moon was U.S. astronaut Neil A. Armstrong.

3. Complete the Pattern : 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100, 121, 144, 169, ____

Answer: 196

The pattern is squares of integers 1-14 or add three, add 5, etc.

4. To calculate how many feet are between first and third base on a standard Major League Baseball field, whose theory would you use?

Answer: Pythagoras

To solve use the Pythagorean Theory that A^2+B^2=C^2. The distance between home plate and first base is 90 feet. The distance between home plate and third base is 90 feet. 90^2=8100. 2 x 8100=16200. The square root of 16200 has to be factored, you can factor 90, 90, and 2.

The 90 goes outside the radical (two 90s) and the two stays under the radical (^(1/2)) resulting in 90(2)^(1/2).

5. If I were to run an exameter, how far would I have run (metric)?

Answer: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 meters

A kilometer is 1,000 meters. A megameter is 1,000,000 meters. A gigameter is 1,000,000,000 meters. A tera meter is 1,000,000,000,000 meters. A peta meter is 1,000,000,000,000,000 meters. An exameter is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 meters.

6. In "Deus Ex Machina", what was the name of the computer entity that did not want to merge with Bob Page?

Answer: Helios

Daedalus and Icarus merged to form Helios. Tycho is a computer from the mac classic Marathon.

7. The binary sequence 10011 translates into what number in the decimal system?

Answer: 19

Binary is based on twos, with each place being a power of two (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.). Because there are ones in the sixteen's, two's, and one's place, the answer would be 16+2+1 or 19.

8. In the "X-Files" episode "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" (3x20) what was the name of Roky's handwritten script of what happened on the night that Lord Kinbote appeared?

Answer: The Truth About Aliens
