Matrix Quiz - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

I give up! No idea!

Do we want to move this quiz to the 'Reloaded' forum so we can ask Matrix Reloaded questions too, or keep it here and start a new one there?

Ok I'll answer the q but I would dispute that it isn't about the Matrix. Thw Wachowski bros were significantly influenced byt this anime, and, in fact

****Matrix 2:Reloaded Spoiler Alert***

its plot consists, in part, of a computer that hacks into a human brain and takes control over the person. This is similar to the Matrix 2:Reloaded where Agent Smith copies himself onto Bane's avatar in the matrix and then controls Bane when he is pulled out into the real world. There are many more similarities if your intersted.

***End Spoiler Alert**

And without any further adoo, the answer is: Ghost in the Shell

I'm going to make this next q easy to let some other people ask.

The glyphs on the computer screens, with the exception of the call traces, consists of reversed letters, numbers, and what type of characters.

good luck,

oz

I started a Reloaded quiz at this url: http://www.ascifi.com/forums/showthr...threadid=17922
We won't have to worry about any spoilers here for Reloaded. Let's keep this quiz confined to the original Matrix.

And I'm just guessing here, but I'd say Chinese characters.

The designer Simon Whiteley sourced references from manga comics, combining Katakana script with chopped up alpha-numerics.

Katakana (literally "side script") was invented by Kibi no Makibi (AD 693-755). They are Japanese symbols adapted from earlier Chinese symbols. This website explains: http://members.aol.com/Joyo96Kana/Katakana.html

I am close??

ozmonster · 9th June 2003, 11:14 PM

We have a winner!.

Japanese katakana characters.

What's your question Dave?

When Neo meets the Oracle in her kitchen, the Oracle is baking cookies. During the scene the Oracle takes the cookies out of the oven and brings them to the table. How many cookies are on the Baking tray?

pkgrl · 10th June 2003, 02:39 AM

Man, Dave! Makin' me put the DVD back in, eh?

You're evil. :evil: But I like it.

She had six cookies on the tray.

Mmmmmm. Cooookies.

What visual signal inside the hotel (just after the Oracle scene) is a clue that a battle between good and evil is about to ensue?

Been reading the essays... can you tell?

The tray that she offered Neo had six cookies, correct!

But this is meant to be a film continuity error. I can't see it myself, but the tray that she takes out of the oven supposedly only has four cookies. So I would have accepted the answer four as well.

I don't know what visual signal you mean. Morpheus adjusts his glasses and Neo bites his cookie. Is there something else that I missed?

pkgrl · 10th June 2003, 11:44 AM

Not at the Oracle's apartment, but in the hotel afterwards. It's kind of an obvious sign... a visual clue of good and evil.

(And I did notice that it 'looked' as if the tray originally had four cookies, but the only time we see it clearly she has six on it... which is why I went with that answer.)

timdgreat · 13th June 2003, 12:13 AM

sheesh pkgrl this question is almost as bad as oz's

was it scyfer dropping the cell phone in the trash? ( im just guessing now, totally no clue):rolly2:

pkgrl · 13th June 2003, 03:38 AM

Good guess since it occurred at the same location, but no. It's something that occurred after Neo saw the Oracle.

I'll give you another day before I ask another question in it's stead. It's something totally visual.

pkgrl · 14th June 2003, 04:28 AM

'K, it's been a day, so the answer is any one of the following: Black and white floor tile, black cat (twice), or even the woman in the red dress (since, with her red dress and seductive pose, she's a distraction to Mouse and fairly devilish).

Here's an easier one:

What is the number in the subway station where Neo fights Agent Smith? (It's on the columns, and visible if you have the tape or DVD.)

timdgreat · 15th June 2003, 06:24 PM

Tim runs back upstairs to pull out his newly bought matrix dvd(cause he cant play his VHS with a broken VCR) and starts watching it in all its glory to find out the awnser
