Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This is Arthur, the animal geek. He loves all sorts of creatures far and wide, and his favourite animal happens to be a mammal under the order of Tubulidentata. This animal is an insectivore and lives in Africa. I sat there puzzled, but then he revealed this animal is in fact know as what?
2. This is Ned, the TV geek. He spends many hours in front of his HD flat screen watching his favourite Blu-Ray collection, and as we look through the shelves, we see 'Wonderfalls', 'Pushing Daisies' and in a locked box, his prized collection of all three seasons of 'Hannibal'. He proudly states his near worship of this man's TV work, so he wants to ask you, who is the writer and producer responsible for all these shows?
3. This is Titania, the astronomy geek. She loves stars, and opening the door to her home shows a galaxy painted on the walls. She takes us to her personal favourite constellation, it contains the bright star Beta Arae, and the name means 'Altar' in Greek. What's the constellation Titania singled out?
4. This is Ryan, the video game geek, more specifically a 'BioShock' geek. He is enraptured by the series and has every bit of memorabilia neatly assembled in his study. One of his more prominent figures is a George Washington look-alike with flags on its back, gears, a very cracked face and a peppermill machine gun. What is the given name for this foe in 'BioShock Infinite'?
5. This is Paul Eric, the movie geek, more specifically any movie starring Meryl Streep. As you can tell, he's a big fan. The movie he picked out from his collection tells the story of two individuals, a food revolutionary who brought French cooking to the American home through 'The French Chef', and the other, a woman inspired to cook all the recipes of 'Mastering the Art of French Cooking' within a year. What is this film?
6. This is Hans, the hoax history geek. He is fascinated by the fakes and forgeries of man, and he has something from the days of World War II, or at least supposedly from that time. These journals created a big buzz around the world, but were in fact created by a man named Konrad Kujau in the 1980s. What are these forgeries?
7. This is Kao, the geography geek, more specifically the geography of his homeland, Thailand. He hails from the Northeastern region in the city of Khorat. The big man had it tough there, but loves it with all his heart. What is the name of this geek's region?
8. This is Richard, the music geek. He's into electronic music, and goes for this electronic pioneer whose most well-known works include the albums 'Play', '18' and the theme music for the 'Bourne' series of films, 'Extreme Ways'. Who is this fellow geek who tells us that 'we are all made of stars'?
9. This is Stamford, the transport geek. He lives in Singapore, just like me, and is pretty knowledgeable about the train system here, the Mass Rapid Transit or MRT. We always play a game where we list landmarks around the area of a station and he makes a guess. So now, he'll play it on you. This station is near the Church of St. Alphonsus, a popular Catholic church with a massive congregation, and the name of the station plays on that. Where are we?
10. And finally there is the food geek. In fact, that geek is the one keeping this quiz up, me! I'm a major foodie, and nothing gets me going more than Japanese food! I love cold soba noodles, I can't get enough of it, its a refreshing slurp everytime! So now, you're at my mercy, so I'll ask you, if you are being served 'cha soba', what is it are you having?
