Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Jefferson Davis was the first and only President of the Confederate States of America. Who was his Vice-President?

Answer: Alexander Stephens

A former U.S. representative from Georgia, Stephens later became that state's governor. He died at the age of 71 in 1883.
Stephens' portrait can also be found on a Confederate States of America $20 bill.

2. Who was the second man to set foot on the moon?

Answer: Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin

A New Jersey native, Aldrin had his name legally changed to "Buzz" in the 1980's. Bean, Mitchell and Cernan were all fellow Apollo astronauts.

3. Adolf Hitler was the first Fuhrer of the Third Reich. Who became the second Fuhrer after Hitler's death?

Answer: Grossadmiral Karl D�nitz

Hitler surprised everyone when he named D�nitz as his successor. Apparently, Hitler felt he had been betrayed by all the other branches of his military except for the German Navy, of which D�nitz was head.

4. Controversial baseball player Barry Bonds took the lead in the major leagues with a lifetime total of 762 home runs. Who was the player whose total Bonds surpassed?

Answer: Hank Aaron

Aaron surpassed Ruth's 714 home runs in 1974 and finished his career with 755. That record stood until 2007 when Bonds belted his 756th. Bonds later ended his checkered career with 762 homers.

5. Charles Lindbergh and his airplane "The Spirit of St. Louis" was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Who made the second solo trans-Atlantic flight?

Answer: Amelia Earhart

In May of 1932, the now legendary Earhart crossed the Atlantic solo and thus became the second pilot to do so. Billy Bishop was a famous Canadian World War I fighter pilot while Chesterton was a famed English writer. Jimmy Doolittle was a famous American pilot in the Second World War.

6. English monarch Henry VIII took six women as his brides. Who was the second woman to marry Henry?

Answer: Anne Boleyn

The best way to remember the six wives and the respective order and fates is via the rhyme 'Divorced' (Catherine of Aragon), 'Beheaded' (Anne Boleyn), 'Died' (Jane Seymour in childbirth), 'Divorced' (Anne of Cleves), 'Beheaded' (Kathryn Howard), 'Survived' (Katherine Parr)

7. Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States made history when he became the first U.S. President to be impeached. Who became the second Chief Executive to take it on the chin?

Answer: William Clinton

In 1868, Johnson was acquitted of all charges, and over a hundred years later, in 1998, Clinton was also not convicted. President Richard Nixon no doubt would have faced impeachment, but resigned from office on August 9, 1974.

8. Swimmer Michael Phelps took home eight individual gold medals from the 2008 Olympic Games. Whose record did he break as winner of individual gold at a single Olympics?

Answer: Mark Spitz

Spitz's seven individual gold medals stood as the record since 1972. Dityatin, a Russian gymnast, won eight individual medals at the 1980 Olympics, but only two were gold medals.

9. In 1968,after actor Sean Connery decided he was finished playing the role, who was the second actor to portray James Bond in a feature film?

Answer: George Lazenby

Lazenby starred in only one Bond flick, "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" He then made a bad decision not to star in the next Bond film and Connery decided to return to the role. Lazenby's career seemed to stall after that decision and he never returned to the role of 007.

Answer: 2130

Gehrig's 2130 consecutive game streak was surpassed by Ripken who finished his career with 2632. Both numbers stand as lasting tributes to two superb baseball icons. Interestingly, both men played their entire career with one team. Gehrig played 17 years for the New York Yankees while Cal put in 22 years with the Baltimore Orioles.
