[Quiz] Need the hive mind's assistance with a quiz

[Tokek]

I could use some assistance from the GT hive mind with my company's holiday quiz. There are 100 questions to the quiz and it's in PDF form, so I've shared it on my dropbox folder (too big to attach here, 2mb file). So far, I think I've gotten over half of them.

The quiz is here: *removed, if you still want it you can PM me*

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Oh, the prize is a Kindle 3, in case you're wondering.

[Scuzz]

[Scraper]

Thats not an easy quiz

[Bullwinkle]

Where the hell do you work, a thinktank?

Without researching, I can tell you 5 is Hemingway, 6 is Che, 8 is The Simpsons, 11 is Van Gogh, 12 is Pollock, 14 is Warhol, 15 is hockey, 23 is Othello, 31 is marmalade people.

That's as far as I got.

89 is Fleetwood mac.

those would be winners of Academy Award for Best picture (9), which it looks like he's already got.

[Tokek]

Is the answer to 31 "Marmalade people" or "Rocking Horse people?" It's the lyrics to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" that much I know.

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies.
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high.

Nimoy is with an "i"


Pretty sure 61 is Ella Fitzgerald and 62 is Wagner

73 is, of course, It's a Wonderful Life and 75 Metropolis

Thank you, I corrected Nimoy. I had it written down correctly on my paper, must've typo'd it.

I did a google search of 51. and got a result of Lodestone not sure if it right but it seems correct. same with 55. EmphaSeisTM

#27: Namadi Sambo
#28: Bronisław Komorowski

#92: Michael Collins (those are the command module pilots for the Apollo missions that landed on the moon. The missing CMP is the first one for Apollo 11)
And for #100 I think there's an error in the quiz, which you should get bonus points for spotting   Malcor III is from the STNG episode "First Contact", which shares its name with an STNG movie...which doesn't take place on Malcor III

Before y'all think I'm a trivia genius I will cheerfully confess to only knowing some of these. For the rest I used my l33t search engine skillz

I got confused on that one as well.

That is some l33t search engine skillz sir.

Holy cow, I think we're almost done. Thanks a lot guys, couldn't have done this without your help.

[Gryndyl]

#41 is Cuba. If you zoom the pic up real big you can make out the word 'Capitolia' on the front of the building and that gave it away

And #39 is France. That one took some work. It's Napoleon's Sarcophagus.

#55: EmphaSeis

[Covenant]

Someone should check this but I'm pretty sure this is the solution to #76:

Albert - Processor
Brenda - Marine
Claire - Land

#51 - Quad44?

The answer is on this page: http://www.cggveritas.com/default.aspx?cid=15-59-4152 and I swear they're TRYING to use english, it's just not working for me.

[Purge]

#55 EmphaSeis - http://www.cggveritas.com/default.aspx?cid=3824

[envy24]

I did a google search of 51. and got a result of Lodestone not sure if it right but it seems correct. same with 55. EmphaSeisTM

Is what i found earlier purge. lynch purge  hmmm our 51's seem to differ

[Purge]

#76:

Albert is Processor
Brenda is Marine
Clare is Land

This is due to Brenda identifying Albert as processor, Clare identifying herself as Marine, and Albert saying Clare is Land. If Brenda is lying, then Albert is too and there would be 3 liars which cannot be. If Clare had claimed processor is the only way the alternative would work.

No, I think Lodestone is correct. I thought they were referring to the other two, but it's cornerstone and runestone which is why I thought it might be Quad44. They only refer to Quad44 as being near Lodestone (which is then the answer).

I hate CGGVeritas just for their use of the english language.

[envy24]

Quad44 seems to be the area of the survey and Lodestone seems to be the name of the survey at least thats how i interupt it.

26. Bhumibol Adulyadej - Thailand

[CeeKay]

Purge needs to stop looking for answers and spend more money on Steam.

Dammit Gryndel. I looked all morning for that.

So, here's the secret to my search-fu on images. prntscrn on the pdf and paste to photoshop. Crop it to the image, save it then upload it to TinEye and then search it from there.

#82 at least 45 spoke all three languages. There is no mention of any other languages (im-or-explicit).

[envy24]

56. would almost have to be Kiev- Ukraine. Vienna- Austria, London- England, Rome- Italy, Amsterdam- Netherlands, Barcelona- Spain, Kiev- Ukraine?

[Gryndyl]

#82 at least 45 spoke all three languages. There is no mention of any other languages (im-or-explicit).

Heh, and you beat me to that one

Explanation:
10 could not speak Spanish, 20 could not speak Italian, and 25 could not speak Mandarin. So there could have been 10 people who spoke none of those languages.

However, that would maximize the number of people who could speak all three, and the problem asks at least how many speak all three. Therefore, we must assume that these 10, 20, and 25 people are all separate people. Having identified 55 each of whom is missing one language, the remaining 45 speak all three.
