Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

"Supernaut" was a track on the hard-to-find release "Purest Feeling II."

Answer: twist

"Twist" was a rewording of the "Pretty Hate Machine" track "Ringfinger", maybe even a prequel.

3. "I put my faith in God and my trust in you. Now there's nothing more fouled up I could do."

Answer: "Wish"

"Wish" first appeared on "Purest Feeling II" with cleaned-up lyrics.

4. "Rain rain go away come again some other day."

Answer: "Down In It"

"Rain rain go away come again some other day" is chanted near the end of "Down In It."

5. "God of money's not looking for the cure. God of money's not concerned about the sick. The sick among the pure. Let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised. God of money's not one to choose."

Answer: "Head Like a Hole [Opal]"

"Head Like a Hole [Opal]" is only available on "Purest Feeling II" and the "Head Like a Hole" import.

6. "What did you feel? What did you think? Were you pleased? Frightened? Ecstatic? Disgusted?"

Answer: get down make love

"Get Down Make Love" is the first cover Trent released on a Halo, on the "Sin" single.

7. "Nothing quite like the feel of something new."

Answer: "The Only Time"

Track number nine on "Pretty Hate Machine" is the fast-paced "The Only Time."

Answer: "That's Wat I Get"

Sorry for the humongous hint there, but the song itself is poetry in motion. Basically, if you missed this, you weren't there to hear it.

9. "Let's hear it for Nine Inch Nails! Woo! They're good!" Which Halo can this be found on?

Answer: three

This is heard on a hidden track eleven on Halo Three: "Head Like a Hole" 10 track CD Maxi-Single.

10. "Everywhere I look you're all I see. Just a fading... reminder of who I used to be."

Answer: "Something I Can Never Have"

"Something I Can Never Have" seems to be a battle between Trent's current persona and a personage he "killed off" at an earlier time.
