Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I love a good breakfast, because I can't paint Popes or 'Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion' on an empty stomach.

Answer: Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon (1909-1992) was a famous British figurative painter. He is well-known for his portraits of Popes. The three other ones I made up.

2. I love a good breakfast, because I need to capture the world hour record in cycling for the third time today!

Answer: Oscar Egg

Oscar Egg was a Swiss road and track cyclist from 1911 to 1926. He set the world hour record 3 times and won several stages in the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia. His last hour record was 44.247 km. The three others are non-existing.

3. I was Chancellor of Germany from 1982 to 1998 and everyday I ate a cabbage because my wife forced me to.

Answer: Helmut Kohl

Helmut Kohl was a German conservative politician and statesman. He was succeeded by Gerhard Schr�der. 'Kohl' means 'cabbage' in German. 'Kartoffel' means 'potato', 'Tomate' 'tomato' and 'Paprika' means 'red pepper'.

4. I don't like potatoes or pasta in my secretariat.

Answer: Condoleezza Rice

Condoleezza Rice was the 66th Secretary of State under the administration of George W. Bush. She was the first female African-American Secretary of State. Colin (Powell), Hillary (Clinton) and Madeleine (Albright) were the first names of other recent Secretaries of State.

5. I'm the most delicious person in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In fact I'm called Harold Joseph, but everybody calls me ...

Answer: Pie Traynor

Pie Traynor entered the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1948. During his entire career he was third baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The other ones don't exist.

6. I'm a cruel dictator, but if you add a former Japanese city to my surname you'll get a starchy crop.

Answer: Pol Pot

Pol Pot was leader of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. An estimated 1 to 3 million people died as a result of his policies. Until 2010 the Ato was an independent city, but it has merged into the city of Yamaguchi. If you put Pot and Ato togehter you get potato. I made up the other names. Broccoli, tomato or asparagus aren't starchy.

7. I'm made of buttercream and meringue and named after a Hungarian prince.

Answer: Esterh�zy torte

This Hungarian and Austrian cake was invented in the 19th century and named after Paul III Anton, Prince Esterh�zy (1786-1866). This prince shares his name with a French traitor who caused the Dreyfus affair. The red herrings are other terms and persons related to this infamous affair: Zola wrote J'accuse in the journal L'aurore (1898).

8. I love Teddy and appeared in the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.

Answer: Mr. Bean

This character is played by Rowan Atkinson. The other ones don't exist, as far as I know.

9. I'm a British statesman, but perhaps better known for my invention of the sandwich.

Answer: John Montagu

John Montagu was the 4th Earl of Sandwich. So his name wasn't 'Sandwich'! The exact circumstances of his invention are much debated. The others are some famous Johns (Biblical figure, American politician and American President).

10. I love a good breakfast, because I can't write philosophical works on an empty stomach.

Answer: Francis Bacon

You might think that this is the same person as in the first question of this quiz, but this is not the case! The painter Francis Bacon lived in the 20th century and the philosopher Francis Bacon in the 16-17th century. The Bacon of this question, the English thinker, is the creator of empiricism.
