Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. TNG: What was Geordi's prosthetic called that helped him see?

Answer: visor

It was in reality a hair clip spray painted gold. LeVar Burton could barely see when wearing it. Conversely, when he played Geordi as blind and not wearing the visor, he could see perfectly. 8-)
2. What is the name of the small scanning devices taken on away missions?

Answer: tricorder

3. What is the main means of sending someone down to a planet?

Answer: transporter

4. What are the small ships used to go between ships, or shore leave on planet?

Answer: shuttlecraft

5. Communications are faster-than-light using this:

Answer: sub-space

6. Food on starships is dispensed with this device:

Answer: replicator

7. In the 24th century, this program was designed to replace a missing ships doctor on a short-term basis:

Answer: EMH

Robert Picardo plays the USS Voyager's EMH.
8. The Borg begin the assimilation process of humanoids by injecting them with these tiny devices:

Answer: nanoprobes

Each one latches onto a single red blood cell. Its hue changes, and the victim's skin becomes ashen gray. The beings free will appears to be lessened, allowing the new drone to be outfitted with Borg implants.
9. Ferengi culture uses this valuable liquid as its means of currency. It is usually gold-pressed for ease of handling and sized into slips, strips, bars, and bricks.

Answer: latinum

Morn had left Quark all his money when he faked his death. Quark was disappointed when he discovered the 1000 bricks were just plain gold, with the latinum removed. (Morn kept it in his extra stomach.)
10. To call someone on a 24th-century communicator, a crewman first must do this:

Answer: Slap the logo-pin on his left breast

The 24th Century communicator is the logo-pin worn on the uniform. First it is tapped, then the name of the crewman you wish to contact is spoken. (Flip-the-lid communicators were used in the 23rd Century; saying 'Computer' just gets the computer's attention for something other than communication; dialing '9' is just for 20th Century PBX phone systems).
11. The Federation's 300-year-old technology for faster-than-light travel:

Answer: warp drive

12. What substance is used to channel the energies produced by matter-antimatter engines?

Answer: dilithium

Dilithium crystals, that is. The other choices: latinum - Ferengi {money;} corbomite - fictional omnidefensive substance-device invented by {Kirk;} trimethylxanthine - caffeine
13. LCDR Data's brain uses these subatomic particles:

Answer: positrons

14. The Voyager's EMH can move outside of Sickbay thanks to a device using technology from what century?

Answer: 29

He got it when they went back to 20th Century Earth, but it was designed based on 29th Century technology found by Henry Starling (Ed Begley, Jr.).
15. In the TOS episode 'All Our Yesterdays', Sarpeidon's inhabitants have escaped into their own past using this time-travel device:

Answer: Atavachron
