Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What Coldplay album is "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" from?

Answer: A Rush of Blood to the Head

Same album as a couple of other hits like "Clocks", "The Scientist" and "In My Place".

Fun fact: This album was released August 26th, 2002.

2. What is slightly bizarre about the man that the main character of the video(X) walks into?

Answer: He is barefoot

The man has a shirt and a tie, but is fairly clean-shaven and doesn't have gloves. You can tell that the barefoot trait was bizarre, because they pan down to show you and then zoom in.

They don't actually mention why this man is barefoot, but I have my theories which I will mention later on.

3. What is gradually happening to X throughout the video?

Answer: X is starting to disappear

My primary theory about Mr. Barefoot is that his feet disappeared, causing him to lose his shoes/socks and then they reappeared. Like a flickering disappearance. I think that it is possible that Mr. Barefoot somehow passed on the disappearance trait when they collided. If you have your own theory, please send me a message. I am quite interested.

4. What does X drop while walking on the sidewalk?

Answer: Briefcase

The briefcase is the only thing he has. He doesn't even touch any of the other objects once in the video. X drops it right after he sees the leaky radiator and gets kind of freaked out because he is missing his hand.

Luckily, X is smart enough to pick up his case with his other hand and keep walking.

5. What happens in the restaurant that makes the three other men at X's table clap?

Answer: X spills his drink

They don't ever actually show us what is in the briefcase, and X doesn't do anything rude or dangerous. Falling through his chair would seem a little suspicious.

6. Of the three other men at X's table, how many of them are actual band members?

Answer: Zero

They're all in the video, but the band is in the same area as Chris Martin, which inexplicably alternates between very dim lighting and very bright white.

7. Where does X go directly after the clapping scene?

Answer: Men's Washroom

He looks at himself in the mirror then raises his handless arms. He looks like he thinks he's going insane, but doesn't know why or how to stop it.

8. When X leaves the restaurant, what do the other three men do?

Answer: Beckon him to come back

They notice all right; they shout at him to come back, because he forgot his briefcase. One even grabs and lifts up the briefcase to try and get X's attention.

Answer: There aren't any words, just a cat.

I'm not exactly certain what to call it. I think it's a cat, but other people have told me that it looks like a dog or a bear. Other people ask why it has three legs; I don't actually know.

For people who didn't notice, "GPASUYF" are the initials for the song.

10. After X is gone, what is the final thing to happen on screen?

Answer: X's suit deflates

Chris doesn't get the final shot in this video! After the man's face completely disappears, you watch his suit flatten out on the garbage.

Please rate me, correct me or help me in any way, because I am always looking towards being a better quiz maker.
