Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the correct spelling for the plural form of the word "Cyclops"?

Answer: Cyclopes

Very interesting on how they add an 'e' before the last 's' in Cyclops to plural it. This is a very odd plural word. This is how the plural is formed in Greek.

Answer: Ronet Brauns

Ben Quadinaros was a pod-racer in episode I. Poggle the Lesser was seen in episode II while Mot Not Rabb was in episode IV.

3. What is the only book of the Bible that does NOT mention the name 'God'?

Answer: Esther

I was very suprised when I saw this. Especially because Esther had to pray many times to God in order for her to make her big decision on whether or not to go to the king.

4. Which of the following is NOT one of the names of the thirteen dogs sent into space by USSR/Russia?
