Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which famous physicist was quoted as saying, "It's not that I'm so smart; it's just that I stay with problems longer"?

Answer: Albert Einstein

We've all heard of Albert Einstein (d. 1955), famous for his general theory of relativity. Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. If it wasn't for him staying with problems longer, we may not have.

2. Which former soldier who saw plenty of action said this? "Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the future of war".

Answer: Adolf Hitler

One of history's most notorious dictators, Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) was the Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945. He spent four years in the trenches of World War I. Perhaps that's why he was not a nice guy at all!

3. A famous man known for his evolutionary theory once said, "A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life." Who was he?

Answer: Charles Darwin

Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was a brilliant English naturalist who was passionate about science and nature. In 1859, his book on evolutionary biology "On the Origin of Species" was published. He obviously didn't waste any time at all!

4. All of the following were famous people born in London, but only one was quoted as saying, "I will not join any club who will take me as a member." Who was it?

Answer: Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was born in London, England in April 1889. He was a comedic actor of the silent era. His quote sounds like the sort of thing any of these famous people could have said, but it was Chaplin, king of slapstick, who said it.

Answer: Groucho Marx

Groucho Marx (1890-1977) was a comedian and actor. He was born in New York. He starred in both films and television. "A child of five could understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five." Wait a moment! That's another of Groucho's many quotes!

6. One of the world's most famous Chinese philosophers was quoted as saying, "Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Who said it?

Answer: Confucius

Confused? It sounds like the sort of thing any hard-working philosopher would say but it wasn't just anyone, it's from Confucius himself! Confucius (d.479 BC) was a Chinese philosopher, politician, and author of classical texts.

7. Often associated with animals, who came up with the line, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"?

Answer: George Orwell

This was proclaimed by the pigs who controlled the government in the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Orwell's novel was a comment on the hypocrisy of governments who say their citizens are equal but give power and privilege to an elite few. Sound familiar?

George Orwell was an English writer who died in 1950.

8. Famous for standing up to injustice and promoting nonviolence, who said, "Nobody can hurt me without my permission"?

Answer: Mahatma Gandhi

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) was the man who steered India towards independence. He promoted nonviolent civil disobedience. His profound spirituality and unshakable belief in justice inspired the world.

9. He made millions laugh over the years, but can you name the famous cartoonist who is quoted as saying, "Laughter is America's most important export"?

Answer: Walt Disney

These are all American funny men who believed in laughter, but the quote came from Walt Disney. Disney was the creator of Mickey Mouse and the founder of the Disney empire. He died in 1966.

Answer: Woody Allen

Woody Allen was born on December 1, 1935 in the Bronx, New York. He's a director, actor, writer, and producer. He once also said, "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying." A very funny man!
