Star Trek Trivia

[megoapesnut]

...So, I am cleaning out a closet and I find a box of Star Trek TOS trivia cards. I acquired these about 25 years ago when I made a $100 donation to my local PBS TV station. They were meant to be used with a Trivial Pursuit board game, you would just use these cards instead of the trivia cards that came with the game. I worked for a large printing company at the time and whenever I was on the same shift as a couple of other Trekkies, we would challenge each other to some trivia. I was very good at episode titles and one of the other guys was good at quotes. Anyway, here is my idea. I will choose and post trivia questions from these cards, at least one and possibly more per day, but not a new one before the previous is answered correctly. The member who correctly answers 10 trivia question first, wins a special prize care package. No using Google or any other internet source to get the answers (on the honor system, of course). Remember, the member who wins will have to have been the first poster with the correct answer 10 times. So, we might be here a while.

First question. Name the episode with the following dialogue:

Spock: I need your advice.
McCoy: Then I need a drink.

[fallensaviour]

The episode is Obsession.
Spocks asks the question while McCoy is performing an autopsy.

[megoapesnut]

Wow, quick winner on that one. I'll have to pick tougher questions. Next question sometime this evening.

[megoapesnut]

In answer to a question, there are 5 different colored cards each having a different subject. I will rotate through the subjects. They are Trek Trivia, Alien Worlds, Aliens, Quotes and Starfleet. And I am adding one rule. If you happen to have this set of cards, you may not use them to get the answer. You can use any other non-internet source.

This one is a bit tougher. I had forgotten this.

Who was the only human against whom Spock's Vulcan Nerve Pinch was ineffective?

I'm no expert but I'd say that androïd guy Norman I think his name was...in the episode where Harry Mudd appears for the second time...it's my guess!:yes:

[StrangeVisitor]

Who was the only human against whom Spock's Vulcan Nerve Pinch was ineffective?

Gary 7 from Assignment: Earth! ?

[fallensaviour]

Garry seven...I concur...LOL

[megoapesnut]

You guys are good. Ok, the score is StrangeVisitor-1, fallensaviour-1. One more question for today and then I'll slow them down a little.

Kirk inadvertently negotiated a "piece of the action" for the Federation while visiting the Lotians. What was the "Feds" percentage?

[The Toyroom]

Kirk inadvertently negotiated a "piece of the action" for the Federation while visiting the Lotians. What was the "Feds" percentage?

They got 40%.....I love that episode....:smiley1:

[megoapesnut]

There are some serious Trek fans here. I was hoping that would stump ya'll at least overnight. Check back in the AM for the next question.

[fallensaviour]

They got 40%.....I love that episode....:smiley1:

Same here.One of my all time fav's.
Great trivia keep them coming.

[sprytel]

Love the trivia. And impressed by those who actually know the answers!

Did we ever really learn what Gary Seven's deal was? He seemed like a mystery... so the "human" part seems a bit up for debate, right? It's been a years since I've seen the episode, though... so my memory is a bit fuzzy.

[megoapesnut]

Next question. This one falls under the Starfleet category and gets a bit harder.

On which deck are Kirk's quarters located?

[The Toyroom]

Next question. This one falls under the Starfleet category and gets a bit harder.

On which deck are Kirk's quarters located?

Deck 5

[megoapesnut]

Dagumitt! You guys are too good! At this rate the contest will be over today! Ok, Toyroom takes the lead with 2 first correct answers. Next question after lunch.

[AAAAA]

Its is as good as the Star trek Trivia book"Never beam down in a Red Shirt" !

[megoapesnut]

I know I said after lunch, but here it is.

What is the highest numbered Starbase mentioned by Enterprise crew members?

Bonus points if you can tell me the name of the episode it was mentioned in.

[fallensaviour]

starbase 19 episode #56 spectre of the gun,But i am guessing here???

[fallensaviour]

unless you count starbase 375 from the wrath of kahn?
Then again I was assuming it was TOS.

if it is next gen I have no idea?

[megoapesnut]

Finally...a question that might take a few guesses! Yes, questions are for TOS only.

[HardyGirl]

I saw the title of this post, and got real excited, and now I realize, I'm not the Trekkie I thought I was! :please_y:

[megoapesnut]

Don't feel bad. I am a huge Trek fan and I would not have known half of these. I'll throw in some questions that are a lot easier after the latest one gets answered.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I consider myself a Trek fan, but I'm obviously on a board full of grown men who have never kissed a girl.:biggrin:

Chris

[fallensaviour]

a piece of the action starbase 10.
the menagerie was starbase 11

[megoapesnut]

a piece of the action starbase 10.
the menagerie was starbase 11

I'll give you a hint. Your first guess earlier today was closer.

[fallensaviour]

starbase 20

[megoapesnut]

Nope. I am calling this one an official stumper.

The answer is - drum roll please - Starbase 27 "This Side of Paradise"

Next question should be easier.

Before Dr. Lester was beamed aboard the Enterprise, what ship was the Enterprise planning to rendezvous with?

[fallensaviour]

Potemkin,turnabout intruder...
The ep with shekirk...LOL

[megoapesnut]

We have a winner! Here's the tally so far:

fallensaviour - 2
Toyroom - 2
StrangeVisitor-1

Next question later this evening

[fallensaviour]

Nope. I am calling this one an official stumper.

The answer is - drum roll please - Starbase 27 "This Side of Paradise"

Next question should be easier

I'd leave the answer until at least one full day goes by.A lot of people are at work or don't check/play until later on,Our Euro peeps for instance.
I just happen to be on days off at the moment...LOL

Great trivia by the way.

Excellent point, I will do that for future questions

[megoapesnut]

Next question:

Who was the first human recipient of Spock's Vulcan mind meld?

[MysteryWho]

Simon Van Gelder, Morgan Woodward.
Dagger of the Mind.

I'm just curious, is everybody doing off the top of their heads or are they looking answers up? I'm not trying to stir things up, it's just I'm not looking them up so I wonder how I'm fairing against the rest.

[MysteryWho]

Oops, sorry I just realized we are supposed to give it time.

[fallensaviour]

top of my head or I would have gotten them all...LOL

[MysteryWho]

I never could have gotten that Starbase question, not in a million years.

[megoapesnut]

Oops, sorry I just realized we are supposed to give it time.

No, you don't have to give it time. Answer as soon as you know. First to have the correct answers before anyone else and hit 10, gets the package. So answer quick if you know it. I just need to give more time if no one gets the answer.

Also, I don't mind if anyone looks answers up anywhere but the internet or the same set of cards. Anything else is fair game!

Having said all of that, you are on the scoreboard with the correct answer. One more for tonight and then we'll start again tomorrow

What is Kirk's sister-in-law's name?

[megoapesnut]

I never could have gotten that Starbase question, not in a million years.

Yeah, that one was a little bit too out there. I will pick easier ones from here on. Sorry!

[MysteryWho]

Well, in that case... I may be spelling it wrong so maybe I should get a half:smile:
Aurelan? Sam's wife in Operation: Annihilate. That's my answer.

[megoapesnut]

Score two for MysteryWho. And you spelled it perfectly. Check back in the morning for tomorrow's round.

[HardyGirl]

Dang, late again. All the east coasters are home before I am! *jumps up and down in a mock tantrum* It isn't fair!

[fallensaviour]

D'oh missed out again,dang real life getting in the way...LOL

[megoapesnut]

Dang, late again. All the east coasters are home before I am! *jumps up and down in a mock tantrum* It isn't fair!

Let me know when you will be online today and I will post a question.

[megoapesnut]

D'oh missed out again,dang real life getting in the way...LOL


Yeah, I hate that real life stuff. Heaven will be all of us hanging together and trading Megos!

[megoapesnut]

Nexxxxxt....

The episode "The Savage Curtain" teamed Kirk and Spock with heroes from the past pitted against villains from the past. Name at least 2 of the heroes and 2 of the villains.

[fallensaviour]

Lincoln,Surak =good
Kahless,and gengis kahn=Evil

[HardyGirl]

Good guys: President Lincoln and the Vulcan Surak

Bad Guys: Genghis Khan and Colonel Green

[megoapesnut]

Those are correct. I know everyone thinks the 3rd season is the worst, especially those last few episodes. But I always had a special place in my heart for The Savage Curtain because it was the first episode I ever watched. How can you top Abe Lincoln floating by on a chair on the viewscreen!

[megoapesnut]

Here's the after lunch question

What did the Capellan warriors in "Friday's Child" offer visitors as a gesture of hospitality?

[fallensaviour]

the thing I remember was the kleegot but I think that was a weapon?
I'll speed watch it...LOL

[HardyGirl]

I know one of the women offer Kirk some food and if he takes it her next male relative will kill him. I don't know if that counts, since the woman offered it, but maybe the men put her up to it.

[fallensaviour]

A chance for combat?

[fallensaviour]

Okay that's all I saw in that one.Long live Leonard James Akaar...LOL

[megoapesnut]

The opportunity to engage in combat. Score another for fallensaviour. Last question of the day


Name Christopher Pike's Yeoman.

[MysteryWho]

"He's offering you a chance for combat, Jim. They find it more pleasurable than love."
Or something like that. I can see that being a conundrum for Kirk.
"Hmmm, I like drop-kicking people, but I also like girls. What
are the rules, McCoy? If I knock this guy out, do I get the girl? Might
be worth it."

[MysteryWho]

I don't know Pike's yeoman's name, but I think he got killed
in the fight the Talosians re-create for him later.

[The Toyroom]

Name Christopher Pike's Yeoman.

Yeoman Colt

[fallensaviour]

Yeoman Colt

Yup Mia Colt,nice score. :yes:

[megoapesnut]

Koorect, Yeoman Colt. Chalk up another for The Toyroom. Tune in tomorrow morning for the next exciting episode of...Ah...

I mean the next question.

[UnderdogDJLSW]

I keep missing this each night. But it is fun to be an observer, too!

[megoapesnut]

I keep missing this each night. But it is fun to be an observer, too!


Let's change it up a little to make it a little more fair. I will post questions at 9AM, 1PM and 9PM every day. That way everyone knows when the questions will be posted. The times are Eastern time and only if the previous question has been answered. If a question doesn't get answered in time, I will post another question the first time slot after it is answered. Let's make it M-F for those times. I can't promise what time I can post on the weekend, but I will only post 1 question per day on Sat and Sun. There, get all that? Good, cause I didn't...

No more questions today though, as we already had 3 today.

[HardyGirl]

Well, I guess I only get a chance to answer one question (the 1pm one) since, I'm home at 10am PST, but I'm not up at 6am, and I'm just getting off work at 6pm, so I guess I don't have much of a chance. :ugh_y:

Don't feel bad I'm back to work tomorrow night so I work At 6 pm til 4am then sleep until 2pm...LOL

That's a good point. I'll push the 9PM question back to 10PM to give the west coasters a little more time to get home from work. That works a little better for me anyway.

[The Toyroom]

Didn't realize a fun thing someone was doing was turning into a whine and cheese party about times and availability... :sarky:

Morning question:

[megoapesnut]

Well, I found this thread a little late. Looking forward to the next question or can we post our own questions?


Post away! The more, the merrier!

However, since I am giving an actual prize to the winner, we will only count the 3 questions a day that I ask toward the contest.

[The Toyroom]

Morning question:

In "The Naked Time" what does an insane laughing crewman paint on the wall?

He paints the phrase: Love Mankind

[megoapesnut]

Dang, I thought that one would take a little longer. We have a couple of walking trivia books here. ToyRoom takes the lead and is halfway there.

Toyroom - 5

After lunch question:

Name the jewels that Cyrano Jones attempted to sell Kirk in "The Trouble with Tribbles"

[The Toyroom]

After lunch question:

Flame Gems?

[HardyGirl]

Spikan Flame gems (and I believe he tried to sell them to the barttender, not Kirk)

[megoapesnut]

Spican Flame Gems is the correct answer. And since Toyroom's answer was enough for the judges but HardyGirl had the complete answer, I am giving you both a score. Next question tonight

Toyroom - 6
fallensaviour - 4
HardyGirl - 3
MysteryWho - 2
StrangeVisitor - 1

[megoapesnut]

Spikan Flame gems (and I believe he tried to sell them to the barttender, not Kirk)


You know, I believe you are correct. I do remember him trying to sell them to the bartender, I don't remember if he tried to sell them to Kirk as well or not. The trivia card has Kirk on it though. We might have caught an error. I am calling my local PBS station and asking for my $100 back - along with 25 years of interest - since the cards are defective!

[mego73]

The trivia card is kind of wrong. In an off handed way(to deflect criticism for the problem of Tribbles growing large), Cyrano tried to interest Kirk in some Spiken flame gems in the animated Star Trek Tribbles episode but not in the live action one the card was supposed to reference.

[megoapesnut]

It is possible that the cards also encompass the animated series as well. Either that or it is outright wrong. I will have to be careful with the questions in the future.

I just think they goofed up :)

[megoapesnut]

Sorry for the late post. I am in the middle of watching "For Your Eyes Only"

What was the name of the leader of the lithium miners in "Mudd's Women"?

[The Toyroom]

What was the name of the leader of the lithium miners in "Mudd's Women"?


Ben Childress

[megoapesnut]

What, were you typing that while I was typing the question? Correct answer. Now for bonus points, tell me the name of the woman he wanted from Mudd's cache!

[The Toyroom]

That'd be Eve

[megoapesnut]

Looks like you should have this wrapped up by Monday.

[HardyGirl]

Put a fork in me-I'm done. Anthony has got this sewn up. It was fun, though.

[mego73]

I had the answers but was late on the draw :(

But anyway here are a couple of my trivia questions

1. Leslie Parish as Carolyn Palamis wore that awesome gown that Apollo zapped her into on Who Mourns for Adonis. The actress wore the same dress on another TV show. What show was it?

2. What episode do we see Kirk eating on the bridge?

[Captain]

But anyway here are a couple of my trivia questions

1. Leslie Parish as Carolyn Palamis wore that awesome gown that Apollo zapped her into on Who Mourns for Adonis. The actress wore the same dress on another TV show. What show was it?

Gilligans Angels--The short lived spin off from Gilligans Island about three hot police women who go to work for Gilligan fighting crime. It was later retooled and sold as Charlies Angels (Who the hells Charlie? I woulda preferred Gilligan!)

2. What episode do we see Kirk eating on the bridge?
All of them. The man was a voracious pig when it came to food, and he always had a bag of Doritos hidden in the hollow space in the left arm of the command chair. Little known fact--This was the real reason Rand left the ship. she simply grew tired of having to clean all the crumbs out of Kirks chair...and bed...and the Jeffries Tube...and the....well...you get the idea.

[megoapesnut]

Question of the day for Saturday:


Name the daughter of the High Advisor of the Cloud City in the episode "The Cloud-Minders"

Droxine

Sorry, I wasn't home all day yesterday and couldn't get a question posted. Here is Monday morning's question:

What computer expert classification did Spock hold?

[The Toyroom]

Spock is an A7

[megoapesnut]

Sorry for my erratic question posting. I am swamped at work and cannot get to my computer regularly.

The Enterprise visited the war-like Capellans to negotiate a mining treaty for what kind of ore?

[The Toyroom]

I must be the only one playing still.....:smiley13:

Topaline

[megoapesnut]

Yeah, they figured you had it wrapped up. And they were right. However, I mentioned a surprise at the end, and now that we have a winner, I can announce that everyone who answered correctly gets a prize! As the winner, Toyroom gets the big package, but everyone gets something, even if it's something small. PM your email addresses to me so I can send them to you. Thanks to everyone for participating. I had a blast looking up questions. I am a big Trek fan, but I would not have been able to answer half of those questions. So we have some VERY serious Trek fans here. Good for you guys and gals. Post more questions and keep the thread going!

[mego73]

I would play if I ever got to the questions before Toyroom :)

BTW, no one seriously answered my couple questions

1. Leslie Parish as Carolyn Palamis wore that awesome gown that Apollo zapped her into on Who Mourns for Adonis. The actress wore the same dress on another TV show. What show was it?

2. What episode do we see Kirk eating on the bridge?

and another one.

3. What is the only episode that ends with the Enterprise approaching a planet?

[megoapesnut]

The 3rd question I can answer

Is There in Truth No Beauty

The other two I do not know.

[The Toyroom]

I'm assuming #1 is Logan's Run?

[mego73]

1. Leslie Parish was on an episode of Mannix where she wore her Who Mourns for Adonis gown. You can see it on the season 1 set

http://i558.photobucket.com/albums/ss30/HGN2001/Screencaps/LeslieParrishMNX.jpg

2. Kirk was munching on what looks like pieces of celery in The Man Trap

3. I should've been more specific on number 3. I meant to say that what episode ends with a shot of the the Enterprise approaching a planet. In the final scene of Is There In Truth No Beauty they did go to a planet but the only episode where the last shot is the Enterprise is approaching a planet is Spectre Of The Gun.
