7. Theme Quiz Answers
6. Who made the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean?
A. John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown
QQ: John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown were famous British aviators. In June 1919, they flew the first nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Their plane flew from Newfoundland, Canada to Ireland, a journey of 3032 kilometres, in 16 hours and 27 minutes. Their aeroplane, a Vickers Vimy bomber, became stuck in a bog on arriving in Ireland. After Alcock and Whitten Brown's first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, a prize of $25,000 was offered for the first successful flight in either direction between the United States and France. This was almost twice as far as the distance flown by Alcock and Whitten Brown. It was not until 1927 that the prize was claimed by Charles Lindbergh.
7. Just how high does the Concorde fly?
D. 60,000 feet
QQ: The plane cruises at a speed of 1,350 mph and a height of 60,000 feet (only astronauts fly higher!), from which point passengers can see the curvature of the earth.
8. In 1911, Harriett Quimby was the first female aviator to do what?
C. Earn a pilot’s license
QQ: Harriett Quimby was the first woman to earn a pilot’s license. The year was 1911.
9. On July 25, 1909, the famous French aviator Louis Bleriot won a prize of 1000 pounds sterling offered by the London Daily Mail newspaper for what feat?
D. Flying across the English Channel
QQ: On July 25, 1909 Louis Bleriot crossed the English Channel in the Bleriot XI, a monoplane he had designed and built. This has an enormous psychological effect around the world because it shows that natural physical boundaries that had protected nations for millennia can be crossed easily by airplane.
10. Which aircraft has a motor but no wings ?
C. Blimp
QQ: An blimp or airship is a buoyant ("lighter-than-air") aircraft that can be steered and propelled through the air. Unlike aerodynamic ("heavier-than-air") aircraft which stay aloft by moving an airfoil through the air in order to produce lift, airships stay aloft primarily by means of having a cavity (usually quite large) that is filled with a gas that is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere. In contrast to airships, balloons are buoyant aircraft that go wherever the wind takes them. Airships are also known as dirigibles from the French dirigeable, meaning "steerable". The term dirigible was the more commonly used name for these aircraft in the early days of their history, whereas airship is the more modern term.

11. Dagon, god of fertility worshiped by the Philistines and throughout the ancient Middle East, is commonly portrayed as what?
B. Half-fish, half-man
QQ: Dagon’s cult is known to have existed as early as 2500 BC, and a number of references to him are made in the Old Testament. The possible derivations of his name are numerous; from the Hebrew word for “grain”; from the Semitic word for “corn”; and from a Hebrew word for “fish.” The last of these derivations gave rise to the common image of Dagon as a merman—half man, half fish. Dagon is also regarded as the legendary inventor of the plow.
12. Anubis, in Egyptian mythology, was the god of the dead. He was considered the inventor of embalming, the guardian of tombs, and a judge of the dead. What type of head does he have on his shoulders?
D. Jackal
QQ: Anubis, in Egyptian mythology, god of the dead. He was considered the inventor of embalming, the guardian of tombs, and a judge of the dead. The Egyptians believed that at the judgment he weighed the heart of the dead against the feather of truth. In art he is represented as jackal-headed. Anubis was sometimes identified with Hermes in Greek mythology.
13. What is a Brownie?
C. Household goblin
QQ: Brownie, in the popular folklore of Scotland, a good-natured, invisible, household goblin who lives in farmhouses and other country dwellings. While the people are asleep, the brownie performs their labors for them. If offered payment for his services, the brownie disappears and is never seen again. Brownies resemble Robin Goodfellow of English folklore. In Germany a similar spirit is called a Kobold.
14. Who is Thor?
A. God of thunder
QQ: Thor, in Norse mythology, the god of thunder, eldest son of Odin, ruler of the gods, and Jord, the earth goddess. Thor was the strongest of the Aesir, the chief gods, whom he helped protect from their enemies, the giants. He had a magic hammer, which he threw with the aid of iron gloves and which always returned to him. Thunder was supposed to be the sound of the rolling of his chariot. Thursday is named for Thor.
15. Who was Zeus?
A. Leader of the gods
QQ: Zeus was the head of the gods, and the spiritual father of gods and people. His wife, Hera, was the queen of heaven and the guardian of marriage. Other gods associated with heaven were Hephaestus, god of fire and metalworkers; Athena, goddess of wisdom and war; and Apollo, god of light, poetry, and music. Artemis, goddess of wildlife and the moon; Ares, god of war; and Aphrodite, goddess of love, were other gods of heaven. They were joined by Hestia, goddess of the hearth; and Hermes, messenger of the gods and ruler of science and invention.
