2. A
3. Mr. Reinhart
4. MetaCortex
5. Electromagnetic Pulse
6. Wells and Lake
7. Alice In Wonderland
8. Ctrl-X, Esc
9. Jean Baudrillard
It seems that the creators of the film, the Wachowski brothers, are voracious readers of philosophy and, more especially, post-modernist social theory. The theme of the Baudrillard volume certainly fits with the film, discussions inside the tome revolve around the simulated reality that human beings have created for themselves using symbols (simulacra).

13. 9:18
14. Nokia 8110 (with additional 7110 sliding flap feature)

16. Copper Top
The 'copper top' comment is a reference to the fact that Neo's mind is still locked into the Matrix while his real body is being utilised essentially as a battery for the machines. A 'copper top' is a Duracell battery.

37. 'KYM' - Kym is the name of the costume designer
38. Potentials
39. Temest Nosce
This is a direct reference to the ancient Greek Oracle at Delphi, where the phrase 'gnothe seauton' could be found inscribed. 'Gnothe seauton' is the phrase in its original Greek.
40. Know Thy Self
41. A Cookie
42. False
As a matter of fact, the Oracle says nothing of the sort, and certainly not in direct terms. It is Neo who says, 'I'm not the one,' to which the Oracle responds, 'Sorry kid, you got the gift...but it looks like you're waiting for something.' She then refers to his 'next life'. The fact that she announces that he's 'got the gift' and that he's 'waiting for his next life' suggests that, in fact, he is the One but that he does not yet know himself (referring back to the Oracle's motto.) Hence, it seems that the One cannot be told directly that he is a messiah, he must discover it for himself. Naturally, Neo does just this later in the film!
43. A Cat
44. Mouse
45. B212
46. An episode of The Prisoner
47. Rage Against The Machine
48. Wake Up

How Did You Do?
0-10 Cypher
You traitorous wretch. You don't deserve to be a crewmember on the Nebuchadnezzar. You aren't even fit to be a battery for the machines.
11-20 Mouse
Brave and trustworthy. You know the code, and you fight to the end.
21-30 Tank
The centrepiece to the entire nebuchadnezzar infrastructure. The middle man. You can keep your head, even when those around you are loosing theirs. You are a child of Zion, and you are not afraid!
30-40 Trinity
Strong and Feisty. You see what you want, and you go for it, whatever the cost.
40-45 Morpheous
Commanding Leader. You have the ability to lead, and you would die for what you belive in.
45-50 Neo
You are The One!!!
You have the gift, you can do many great things. Woe betide those who stand in your way.
