Answer: Is Latin Dead

In this scene we see Max giving a detailed presentation to the administration in Dr. Guggenheim's office. Max's efforts to save Latin was done to impress Miss Cross.

Answer: Exploring The Reef

This movie ("Rushmore") has more references to Jacques Custeau and underwater exploration than any other Wes Anderson film, other than "The Life Aquatic".

5. What type of beer logo is on the swimsuit that Mr. Blume wears at his son's birthday party?

Answer: Budweiser

This is a great scene in which a dejected Herman Blume sits alone, drinking scotch and smoking a cigarette. He then climbs to the top of the diving board and cannonballs into a green pool.

Answer: Tidal Waves

This is the same Science Fair in which Margaret Yang cheats to win, which we find out later in the film.
