Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The list of suspects has been narrowed down to four people - Alexander, Aristotle, Bartemius and Christian.
When he questions them, they tell him that they're ready to give up the name of
the criminal, if Levi can answer their questions correctly.
"We'll each give you a set of three statements," one of them said. "You tell us if we're telling utter lies, half-truths or simply the truth."
"That's not all," said another. "Depending on your answer, we will each provide you with a letter of the alphabet. If you have answered correctly, then the order in which you collect the letters will spell out the criminal's name."
Having understood the instructions Levi proceeded with his interview.
NOTE: Read the statements CAREFULLY. Make sure every fact in the single statement is correct or wrong before labeling it as true or false.
"Lets begin, shall we?" Levi asked.
The four of them shuffled forwards.
"Well sir, I'll go first." Alexander, whose sleek brown hair resembled fresh honey, said stepping forward.
1. Noah was the son of Lamech, whose father was Methuselah.
2. Noah's sons were Shem, Japheth and Ham.
3. Noah cursed Canaan, the son of Ham, with eternal slavery.
2. Levi looked at the second man, a wiry be-spectacled blond. One of those geek-types, Levi thought amusedly.
"Alright, Ari," Levi said. "what do you have?"
Aristotle thought for a while before saying,
1. Joseph was the twelfth son of Jacob and the only son of Rachel.
2. Joseph was thrown into prison because he succumbed to the passionate advances of Potiphar's wife.
3. According to Joseph's interpretations, the chief baker would be restored to his position, while the royal cup-bearer would be hanged.
3. Bartemius, a burly redhead, looked scornfully at Aristotle. "If you're going to ask such easy questions, you might as well own up to the crime you committed."
Levi looked sharply at them.
"He's bluffing!" Aristotle exclaimed. "Get on with your question, Barty. As it is, we all know who's going to be behind bars. Might as well enjoy your last bit of fun before then."
"Why, you little.."
"Enough!" Levi snapped. "Your question, Bartemius?"
Bartemius huffed irritably before turning to Levi.
1. Gideon was the son of Joash, from the tribe of Manasseh. He was also called Jerub-Baal by the people.
2. Gideon asked for two signs from the Lord as proof that God would guide him against the Midianites. The first time, the fleece of wool and the ground were both wet with dew and the second time, the fleece alone was wet with dew, while the ground was dry.
3. To choose the men who would fight alongside Gideon, God asked Gideon to retain the men who lapped up the water and send back the ones who got down on their knees to drink water from the lake.
4. The mild-mannered, blue-eyed Christian stepped forward. Levi found it hard to associate this man with the word "criminal", but reminded himself that looks coul be deceiving.
Christian closed his eyes for a short moment and then said:
1. Moses was the son of Amram and Jochebed, from the tribe of Levi. He led the Israelites out of Egypt, towards the Promised Land.
2. Aaron was Moses' younger brother, and served as the first High Priest in Israel.
3. Miriam was the eldest of the three. She was later on struck with leprosy when she openly objected to Moses' marriage to a Cushite.
5. "Since that's all four of us," Christian said. "I'll go again"
Levi nodded, though he felt he already had a good idea who the culprit was.
Christian cleared his throat and continued.
1. Job was a righteous, God-fearing man who lived in the land of Uz.
2. In the time after his sufferings, he was blessed with seven sons and three daughters. The names of these seven sons and three daughters do not appear in the Bible.
3. Job's wife was sympathetic to his sufferings and asked him to pray earnestly to God to alleviate their suffering.
6. Bartemius cleared his throat.
1. Jonah is first mentioned in the Second Book of Kings and not in the book of Jonah.
2. On first disobeying God's orders, he sails to Tarshish instead of Nineveh.
3. Jonah was in the mouth of the fish 40 days and 40 nights, before he was vomited out on the shore. On God's orders, he prophesies that Nineveh would be destroyed in 3 days if the people did not repent of their evil ways.
7. Aristotle stepped forward again, "I think I'll probably get all these statements wrong, you know. My knowledge is quite limited on the subject."
Levi smiled. He wasn't going to be taken in by this attempt to throw him off the track.
1. Sisera was the commander of the army of Jabin, a king of Canaan. He persecuted the Israelites for twenty years.
2. According to Deborah's prophecy, Barak would not have the honor of taking Sisera's life. The honor would be a woman's - and this woman was Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite.
3. Jael killed Sisera by stabbing him with a coarse knife while he was sleeping in her tent.
8. Alexander looked thoughtful as he contemplated his question.
Levi tapped his fingers impatiently, "Just get on with it, Alex!"
Alexander frowned a little, before saying:
1. Hadassah is the Hebrew name of Queen Esther, who was the cousin of Mordecai, a Jew from the tribe of Levi.
2. Queen Esther revealed Haman's evil plot during the first feast that she had prepared for King Xerxes and Haman
3. Haman had a gallows, seventy-five feet high, built for Mordecai. He was later hanged on the gallows when King Xerxes learned of his evil plot.
9. The four suspects now looked at each other.
"We've each had two turns, who's going to ask the last one?" Christian wondered.
"We'll make Levi choose." Bartemius suggested.
Levi raised a finger and pointed, "You go!"
Christian sighed and stepped forward.
1. Samson was the son of Manoah, from the clan of the Danites.

3. Samson had first married a Philistine woman from Timnah, who had also tricked him into revealing an answer to a riddle.
10. "Have you figured out who it is, Levi?" The warden asked stepping into the room.
"I believe so," Levi said consulting his notes.
He looked at the four men whose expressions varied from nervous to smug.
He turned to look at the one with the smug expression, a wry grin breaking out on his face.
"You can lose the smug expression. You're under arrest for the robbery of the rare editions of The Holy Bible"
He handcuffed...
