Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Scorpia executive was in charge of the project known as Invisible Sword?

Answer: Julia Rothman

Julie Rothman was born in Aberystwyth, Wales. Her parents were Welsh Nationalists who burned down cottages of vacationers from England. When Julia was six, her parents accidently burned down a cottage with the vacationers inside and Julia was sent to an institution. This began her own career in crime.

2. What does the 'S' in Scorpia stand for?

Answer: Sabotage

The 'S' stands for Sabotage, the 'CORP' represents Corruption, the 'I' is for Intelligence, and the 'A' stands for Assassination.

3. Which Scorpia member is in charge of the assignment in the book "Snakehead"?

Answer: Major Winston Yu

The assignment was to steal an enormous bomb (code-named "Royal Blue"), and create a tsunami with it.

4. Who was the man who pretended to work for Scorpia, but was really a double-agent working for MI6?

Answer: John Rider

MI6 decides to set up John Rider and have him taken in by Scorpia because Scorpia was expanding rapidly and MI6 needed an inside man to relay information. MI6 stages a brilliant cover that involves John Rider being sentenced to jail for the murder of a taxi driver, and being dishonored. Scorpia fell for the trick and welcomed him with open arms.

5. By the end of "Snakehead", Scorpia has lost its great reputation.

Answer: True

After two operations were sabotaged, the world was not as impressed with Scorpia as before. MI6 threatened to release the fact that they were bested by a 14-year-old boy if they tried to kill Alex Rider and destroy the small reputation they still had.

6. Scorpia liked to think of itself as the "_________ of crime".

Answer: Microsoft

According to the actual book, compared to Microsoft, Scorpia was strictly small-time; it was responsible for 10% of the world's terrorism which it undertook on a daily basis.

7. How many executives did Scorpia originally have?

Answer: 12

One died of cancer and the other two were murdered, which is not bad since Scorpia had been in the crime business for about 20 years.

8. What is the animal and color that represents Scorpia?

Answer: silver scorpion

Criminal organizations use symbols and colors so their communications are instantly recognizable by government agencies.

9. Which one of these Scorpia agents dies in the book Scorpia?

Answer: Nile

Nile is killed when he "slips" on top of the balloon where he is fighting Alex Rider. Nile was never as strong on top of the balloon because he had a great fear of heights. The balloon is holding terahertz beams, that are being used to transmit waves and cause a great number of children to die.

10. Which one of these fates met Scorpia executive Julia Rothman?

Answer: Crushed by a radar dish

Julia Rothman was killed when the radar dishes from the balloon fell off and crushed her. She was warned by a member of the SAS, but she interpreted what he was saying in the wrong way and died as a result.
