I remember trying to play the game as a kid and being too young to understand the answers to any of the questions. I'd just relaunch the game and try again until I got the questions correct through random guessing.

Ted Kennedy is best remembered for his

a. driving.

b. underwater free-style.

c. brothers.

d. All of the above.

(All answers are correct.)

There was definitely a key combination that would skip the whole thing (out of old memory, alt-x?).

Yep, ctrl-alt-x.

Ctrl-Alt-X was for LSL3. The original LSL1 used Alt-X.
