Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In 2014, Susie Wolff became the first female to drive in a Formula One race weekend since Giovanna Amati in 1992. For which team did Wolff compete?

Answer: Williams

Wolff was promoted from development driver to test driver for both the British and German Grand Prix and drove in the free practice sessions. Although her drive at the British race was besieged by engine problems, she posted a respectable time at Germany, just two tenths of a second slower than regular driver Felipe Massa. Wolff, originally from Scotland, is married to Toto Wolff, executive director of the Mercedes F1 team.
2. "I'm Winston Wolf. I solve problems." is a line from which classic 1994 movie, spoken when Mr. Wolf meets Jimmie?

Answer: Pulp Fiction

Winston Wolf, played by Harvey Keitel in this Quentin Tarantino directed movie is brought in to help Vincent (John Travolta) and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson) clean up the mess left when Vincent accidentally shoots a guy in the face in their car.
3. Wolfie Smith was a character in the John Sullivan sitcom, "Citizen Smith" which ran from 1977-80. Which actor, who has gone on to win three Olivier Awards for his theatrical work played the role?

Answer: Robert Lindsay

Lindsay has won Olivier Awards for his roles in "Me And My Girl", "Becket" and his wonderful portrayal of Fagin in "Oliver!". He first appeared on UK TV in the short lived sitcom about national service conscripts, "Get Some In" and although he continues to act in sitcoms such as "My Family", he is equally well known for hard hitting drama such as "G.B.H." and "Jake's Progress" and his theatrical work.
4. In 1984, which member of the J. Geils Band achieved a USA Top 20 hit with the lead single from his first solo album "Lights Out"?

Answer: Peter Wolf

Peter Wolf, real name Peter Blankfield, studied art at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts and was a DJ on radio station WBCN before joining J. Geils Band with whom he sang on the hits "Freeze Frame," "Love Stinks," and "Centerfold". Between 1984 and 2016, he released eight solo albums but his debut album and the aforementioned single have been his biggest successes during this time.
5. Who was the former stockbroker whose memoir "The Wolf Of Wall Street" was made into a movie directed by Martin Scorsese?

Answer: Jordan Belfort

Belfort was convicted in 1999 of fraud and related crimes in connection with stock-market manipulation and in exchange for providing information to FBI served just 22 months of a four-year prison sentence. He has written two volumes of memoirs, the aforementioned "The Wolf Of Wall Street" and "Catching the Wolf of Wall Street: More Incredible True Stories of Fortunes, Schemes, Parties, and Prison" as well as becoming a motivational speaker.

In the 2013 movie, the part of Belfort was played by Leonardo DiCaprio, who won a Golden Globe for his performance.
6. In 2015, Deutsche Grammophon released a version of Prokofiev's "Peter And The Wolf", featuring the Bundesjugendorchester and who as the narrator?

Answer: Alice Cooper

Where does one start with Alice Cooper? Shock rock heavy metal star for over 50 years, talented golfer with a handicap of two, writer of an episode for "The Simpsons", and actor, appearing as King Herod in "Jesus Christ Superstar" as well a narrator to a classical music fairy tale. So much talent on offer!
Prokofiev wrote "Peter And The Wolf" in 1936 to introduce the instruments of the orchestra to children and the first American performance took place in 1938, with Prokofiev conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
7. In UK, which sport do the Warrington Wolves play?

Answer: Rugby League

Warrington Wolves, also known as "The Wire" in reference to the wire drawing industry of the town, were formed in 1876 and won the League Championship in 1948, 1954 and 1955. Although it is some time since their last championship title, they have won the Challenge Cup as recently as 2012, defeating Leeds Rhinos in the final.
8. What was the real name of blues legend Howlin' Wolf?

Answer: Chester Burnett

All are bluesmen, Morganfield was Muddy Waters, House was Son House and Jacobs was Little Walter but Chester Burnett was the one we were after. There are several conflicting accounts of how he acquired the nickname, many of which originate with Howlin' Wolf himself but what is certain is that he left us with some truly great blues, such as "Moanin' At Midnight", "Smokestack Lightnin' and "Spoonful" as well as influencing musicians such as The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton.
9. Wolf Wigo represented USA at the Summer Olympics in 1996, 2000 and 2004 as well as having the honour of being team captain in 2000 and 2004 in which sport?

Answer: Water polo

Sadly Wigo couldn't lead the team to Olympic success as they finished 7th, 6th and 7th while he was on the team although in 2000, he was the leading scorer for USA with 16 goals. Since retiring he has become a much respected coach and TV analyst.
10. Which Scottish brewer branched into the spirit world in 2017 with Lone Wolf gin and vodka?

Answer: BrewDog

BrewDog began life in 2007 and by 2008 were Scotland's largest independent brewery with beers such as "Punk", "Dead Pony Club" and "Nanny State". Before marketing their gin, they tested almost 190 distillations before they found one they were happy with and the mix they settled on, with botanicals such as Thai lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaf, angelica, pink peppercorn, red grapefruit peels, mace and Scots pine needles, seems to work as this gin gets rave reviews.
