Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who wrote "A Man For All Seasons" and "Lawrence of Arabia"?

Answer: Robert Bolt

Sheriff penned the WW1 play "Journey's End", Rattigan wrote "The Winslow Boy" and "The Browning Version" and Orton did "Loot" and "What The Butler Saw".
2. Who was the Bond girl in "Diamonds Are Forever"?

Answer: Tiffany Case

Jill St. John played Tiffany, so named because her mother gave birth to her in the famed jewel store. Solitaire is from "Live And Let Die", Stacy from "A View To A Kill" and Jinx is from "Die Another Day"
3. What adjective describes early Egyptian Christians?

Answer: Coptic

The Copts were an early Christian sect based in Egypt.
4. What was the name of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel?

Answer: Flush

She married Robert Browning and wrote "Love Songs from the Portuguese". Virginia Woolf wrote the novel "Flush" from the POV of the dog. Lady is the star of the Disney cartoon "Lady and the Tramp", Mumu the title character of a Turgenev story and Carmen just sounds right for a Spanish-descended dog!
5. What is the name of the basin in a church where babies are baptised?

Answer: font

Font comes from fountain; many an early Christian was baptised by a natural spring or fountain. Butt is a cask or barrel for drinking water; a butt in a hole cut in a ship's deck and the talk occurring around it gave rise to "scuttlebutt" (for gossip).
6. What do you call those ridges put across the fingerboards of such instruments as guitars and ukuleles?

Answer: frets

Frets are found on strummed string instruments they mark the finger positions for the chords to be played. Bars and staves belong to sheet music.
7. Pick out the title by David Goodis.

Answer: The Moon in the Gutter

"Gizmo" is by Jim "Killer Inside Me" Thompson, "Kiss" by Horace "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" McCoy and "Nobody" by W.R. "Little Caesar" Burnett. Goodis is best known for "Dark Passage", filmed by Delmer Daves and starring Humphrey Bogart. "Gutter" was filmed by "Diva" director Jean-Jacques Beineix.
8. What French song was given English lyrics by Johnny Mercer?

Answer: Autumn Leaves

Written by Joseph Kosma and Jacques Prevert, it became a smash hit when done as a instrumental by Roger Williams. Mercer made many classics, both by himself and working with such partners as Harold Arlen and Henry Mancini.
9. What is the name for the top of a matchbook?

Answer: saddle

BION, saddle is what the top of a matchbook is called! Probably from the saddle on horses!
10. OK, what's the link of the 9 questions?

Answer: bookbinding

Clue 8 should've tipped you off at least; after all, a LEAF is also a page in a book! A BOLT (clue 1) is the top, side or bottom fold of a book leaf that must be cut open (mostly in old books). All hardcover today are bound by the CASE-binding method. COPTIC bindings (3) are done without a spine in the back and bound with string ties. All paperbacks are cut FLUSH (4), that is, both covers and pages are even with each other.

A GUTTER (7) is where the inside margins of facing pages meet when sewn to the spine.

A FONT (5) is the style of a typeface and a FRET (6) is the decorative border on a page. A SADDLE (9) is the place on a book-sewing machine here the leaves are sewn to the book's spine. Hope you enjoyed the quiz!
