Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is the new Soviet project located, approximately?

Answer: Dushanbe

Dushanbe is very close to the Afghanistan border - probably a huge mistake for the Russians.

2. What did Captain Marko Ramius give to Jack Ryan as an appreciation gift?

Answer: One of the two nuclear warhead launch keys from Red October

Pretty amazing present - unfortunately Ryan parts with this gift later.

3. Who does Major Gregory work very close to, during the Tea Clipper project?

Answer: General Parks

Ed Foley was one of the American spies in Russia. Bea Taussig was the Tea Clipper spy for Russia. Admiral Greer is the Deputy Director of Intelligence for the CIA - I think his hands are full!

4. During the first major test of the laser at Bright Star, the target is an unmanned aircraft.

Answer: False

The target was an unused satallite which proved the laser to be very powerful, but still needed some work.

5. What is the main purpose of the laser projects?

Answer: Defense against nuclear warheads

The main purpose is to destroy warheads before they reach their targets!

6. Who is the KGB agent who cracks the CARDINAL case?

Answer: Vatutin

Gerasimov is the chairman of the KGB, Filitov is the CARDINAL, and Golovko is Ryan's counterpart at the assemblies in Moscow.

7. KGB Chairman Gerasimov wants the CARDINAL, but Ryan will not give him up that easy. What leverage does Gerasimov have against Ryan?

Answer: Gerasimov knows about the SEC investigation

Gerasimov and his agents can easily make the SEC investigation "go away" but he uses it against Ryan to get him to give up the CARDINAL.

8. What does Colonel Bondarenko think the security force at project Bright Star should never have gotten rid of?

Answer: Guard dogs

They have all these things, but they got rid of the dogs because they ate so much food!

9. Ryan's injuries after Air Force One leaves him behind are from the Russians.

Answer: False

Ryan's injuries were caused by himself when he fell off the rope ladder.

10. When the CARDINAL and the KGB chairman defect safely to the United States, they become good friends.

Answer: False

The CIA separates both of them, since the chairman would most likely want to kill the CARDINAL!
