I know I'm not doing it justice, but here's a quiz I threw together:
Wirechief memorial quiz
1)The diameter of a 6-32 screw is 0.138”. How is the diameter determined?
2) Why is washing hands with plain-old soap and water so effective against coronaviruses?
3) Kauai is the only of the major Hawaiian islands with a thriving bird population. Why?
4) “Cthulhu 2020: No lives matter.” Who is Cthulhu and why do no lives matter?
5) What book was giving Catherine Morland fits of fancy in Northanger Abbey? Was it a real book or one that Jane Austen made up?
6) Over 1000 Pissarro and 500 Monet paintings were destroyed in the early 1870’s. What were the circumstances?
7) What was the origin of the title, Surely You’re Joking, Mr. Feynman?
8) When this Soviet/Russian composer died in 1936, many people were surprised because his music was so solidly Romantic, they thought he’d died several decades earlier.
9) One shouldn’t feed guinea pigs cruciferous vegetables because they can’t do what?
10) Almost all mammals have seven vertebrae in their necks. Name those that don’t (two or three, depending on how you count).
11) This book, which was made into a major motion picture starring Matt Damon, was one of the first self-published books to make a big splash.
12) Another satirical presidential campaign question: whose slogan was “Unencumbered by the thought process”?
13) Although Justin Hayward gets most of the press, this Moody Blues bassist wrote many of their biggest hits including “I’m just a singer in a rock and roll band” and “Ride my seesaw”. (Chief loved his Moodies)
14) In the Bones books, Temperance Brennan splits her time between which two cities?
15) In Mel Brooks’s Silent Movie, who is the only actor who speaks?
