Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "One Way" is used as a street sign and usually consists of an oblong with either the words or which symbol inside it?

Answer: an arrow

The "One Way" street sign is used to indicate that traffic is allowed only in one direction. In the UK, the sign has a blue background which means it is mandatory, as in "You MUST do this". Sometimes both the words and the arrow are used.

2. Which Blondie song, written by Debbie Harry and Nigel Harrison, starts "One Way"?

Answer: One Way or Another

"One Way or Another" was taken from an album and released as a single in 1979. Since then it has been used in several films and covered by such diverse acts as Black Eyed Peas, One Direction, Face to Face and my personal favourite, Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Answer: Michael Clarke Duncan

"One Way" is a film about a man who was blackmailed into giving evidence to allow his fianc�e's brother to get off a serious crime charge. Michael Clarke Duncan turned up to help the victim of the crime to fight back and get revenge.

Doug Hutchison, David Morse and Sam Rockwell all appeared in "The Green Mile" with Michael Clarke Duncan whose breakthrough film it was. He died in hospital in September 2012, seven weeks after a serious heart attack.

4. The Darkness, the British heavy rock band, recorded an album, the title of which started "One Way". What was the seemingly contradictory full title?

Answer: One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back

"One Way Ticket to Hell... and Back" was the 2005 second album by The Darkness. The album took a year to produce due to a change in the band's line-up that year. Following a hiatus of five years, the band reformed with the original line-up in 2011.

5. What "One Way" object is a device often used in TV shows and films to allow other characters, and thereby the audience, to see interrogation scenes?

Answer: One-way mirror

Why else would the police have a large mirror on the side wall of their interrogation room?

One example of the use of this type of mirror is in "Skyfall". James Bond was doing word association with a psychologist in a room with said mirror. Watching him were "M", her assistant Tanner and the representative of the Government. As Bond walked into the room he gave them a knowing smile and things went downhill from that point.

6. Which city, the second largest in Kenya, completes the title of the 2002 film from Finland, "One-way Ticket to ________"?

Answer: Mombasa

"One-Way Ticket to Mombasa" or "Menolippu Mombasaan" in Finnish, was the story of a boy with a virulent cancer during his last days. His final wish is to make a trip to Mombasa, but he died on a beach with his friends, dreaming of the trip.

Bamburi, Likoni and Mtwapa are all towns near to Mombasa in Kenya.

Answer: One Way Ticket

"One Way Ticket" was released in two CD versions, two digital versions, two digital download versions, a DVD version and on vinyl. Its content cannot be revealed on a child friendly site and the less said about the B side, the better.

8. Where was Neil Sedaka headed in 1959, using his "One Way Ticket"?

Answer: To the Blues

"One Way Ticket (To the Blues)" was the B side of Neil Sedaka's hit, "Oh! Carol". It was a bright and bubbly song, despite the blues in the brackets.

Answer: The Moon

"One Way Ticket to the Moon" was a disco hit across Europe for Eruption. The manager of Boney M helped the group and as they have similar upbeat sounds, they were often confused.

10. Cathie Pelletier set her 2013 novel in Mattagash, Maine. The title is about which "One Way" device that connects the town?

Answer: The One-Way Bridge

"The One-Way Bridge" is the story of small town life, telling of the petty fighting over mail-box designs, gossip, a body in the woods, scandals and compromise. The local citizens look into their neighbours' lives and along the way the reader follows the threads of their tangled lives.

Yes, a body found in the woods is not THAT important in Mattagash, Maine.
