Hard SMAC(X) Quiz Fun!
Ok people! It's time to test your knowledge of SMAC(X)! I've found a few interesting quiz questions from the deepest reaches of SMAC(X). Your challenge: answer them all!

Feel free to add your own, but make sure they're "fair" (i.e. not opinionated or something). In fact, anyone that posts to this thread WITHOUT adding a quiz question will be thrown into the nearest Brood Pit! You are warned.

NOTE: Since everyone will be posting here, you might not want to scroll down past my post to avoid seeing other answers.

1) What faction leader had his/her name changed after the first name was released, and what was the origional name for this leader?

2) What faction origionally had the symbol of the Hive?

3) A description mentions a missile attack on a faction. Who launched the missile, who was the target of the missile, and what book is this from?

4) What faction leader wrote the book "One Future"?

5) What do the Morgans fear? (acording to another faction leader)

6) What must be known to destroy everything?

7) What as Santiago often been asked?

8) What is the name of the one that first taught the humans about Resonance fields, and what is his/her title?

9) What is notable about the surface of a Punishment Sphere, and why is this notable?

10) What is Yang's gift to industry?

11) What does Project Pyro advise?

12) Acording to the descriptons, what University city is attacked, and who is behind that attack?

13) Who watches a scrap of paper burn in the darkness?

14) What disease is Planet worried about catching?

19. A handsome young cyborg named ACE
Woo-ed women from every base
But once ladies glanced at
His special enhancement
They vanished with n'ary a trace.

The answer to 17 is, of course, the razorbeak... whatever THAT is!

I'd also like to point out that NONE of you have been able to answer question 3 yet.
