Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What type of car did Susan Fletcher have?

Answer: Volvo sedan

NSA employees are generally told to refrain from displaying their wealth and Susan seems to be okay with this, save her shoes. Greg Hale is the exact opposite of her, being the proud owner of a hi-tech car.

2. What was the password to Trevor Strathmore's elevator?

Answer: Susan

Commander Trevor Strathmore, whom Susan looked up to like a guardian, suddenly turns her worst enemy when Susan accidentally views the messages meant for Commander Strathmore. Susan tries to run away from Crypto, but the only way to do so was by taking Commander Strathmore's elevator. She finally gets the password right in a moment of chilling clarity.

3. When David Becker is first called to the NSA to interpret a code, the NSA cryptographers suspected that the code was written in which language?

Answer: Mandarin Chinese

As the NSA suspected that the code was written in Mandarin Chinese script, they had called David Becker as he was a brilliant foreign-language specialist. But, with the help of Becker, they finally decipher the code using the Kanji script.

4. When David Becker is sent by Trevor Strathmore to retrieve Ensei Tankado's ring, in which language does he communicate with the lieutenant?

Answer: Castillian Spanish

As David Becker had gone to Spain, I think it is proper that he talks only in Spanish!

5. The Spanish translation for the Yellow Pages is La Guia Tespontica.

Answer: False

When David Becker wants to find the number listings for Escort Services to find 'Dewdrop', he uses the Yellow Pages-the translation for La guia Telefonica.

6. What was the time when Digital Fortress was loaded onto TRANSLTR to decrypt?

Answer: 11:37 pm

Strathmore, to make sure Digital Fortress was unbreakable, loaded the file onto TRANSLTR. But, it turns out to be his biggest mistake. At last, with the help of David Becker and Susan Fletcher, the NSA manages to save the data bank by deciphering the kill code.

7. Which animal did Jabba, the resident guardian angel of all NSA computers resemble?

Answer: giant tadpole

Jabba, whose job at the NSA was to ensure that all the computers were virus-free was said to resemble a giant tadpole. When Midge finds out that a file which entered TRANSLTR at 11:37 had not been broken yet, she calls Jabba, thinking that TRANSLTR had encountered a virus. Jabba refuses to believe this, but at the end, Jabba finds out that Midge was right.

8. What was the last name of Carmen, the woman with whom Chad Brinkerhoff was having an affair?

Answer: Huerta

When Chad refused to hand over the keys to the director's room, Midge threatened to play the videos providing evidence of Chad's affair with Carmen Huerta. When Chad was stumped as to how Midge knew of this, Midge tells that 'Big Brother' knows it all.

Big Brother is a high-surveillance camera which watches over the whole of NSA to make sure no person is doing what they shouldn't be doing. Finally, Chad has no choice but to hand over the key to Midge.

9. When David Becker was on the quest for Ensei Tankado's ring, he encountered a punk called Two-Tone who knew about Megan and said that Megan belonged to whom?

Answer: Eduardo

When Becker was stuck in Judas Taboo's party, a punk called Two-Tone agreed to help Becker find the person he was looking for, but had to be coaxed a little when he realized that the person was none other than Megan.

10. The name of the banker from whom Becker bought a cheap black blazer to save himself from Hulohot was Rafael Nadal.
