Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The term "squint" was first used by FBI Agent Seeley Booth to describe the scientists that assist in solving FBI murder investigations. From what TV show did the term originate?

Answer: Bones

The TV show 'Bones' was created in 2006 by Hart Hanson. Hanson has also created shows such as, 'Judging Amy' (1999) and 'The Finder' (2011).

In 'Bones' FBI Agent Seeley Booth teams up with a forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan, and her team of "Squints" to solve crimes.

What is a squint? - According to the FAQ's at Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com):

"Booth and other FBI call Brennan and her colleagues Squints. As Booth explains - when the cops get stuck they bring in people to squint (peer at/look closely) at things. As Brennan counters - what she says he means is people with very high IQs and basic reasoning skills!"

Answer: U.S. Marshal Service

Walter Sherman (played by Geoff Stults) is a man with a gift for finding lost items, a gift he obtained after suffering brain damage during the Iraq War. He is assisted by his friends, Leo Knox (played by Michael Clarke Duncan), US Deputy Marshal Isabel Zambada and wayward Gypsy teenager, Willa Monday (played by Maddie Hasson).

The show was a spin off from the TV show, 'Bones'. Sadly, it only survived one season prior to being axed.
