Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which three Districts lost both their Tributes at the Cornucopia bloodbath in the 74th Hunger Games?

Answer: Districts 6, 7 and 9

Unfortunately, Districts 6, 7 and 9 all lost both their Tributes right at the beginning. However, feel sorry for District 9 the most, because it was the only District to lose both its Tributes at the Cornucopia battle in the 74th AND the 75th Hunger Games!

2. Which five Districts lost one of their Tributes at the Cornucopia bloodbath in the 74th Hunger Games?

Answer: Districts 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10

District 3 lost its female Tribute, District 4 lost its male Tribute, District 5 lost its male Tribute, District 8 lost its male Tribute and District 10 lost its female Tribute.

3. What was unusual about the early death of the District 4 male?

Answer: He was a career, and they usually survive the bloodbath.

Yes, he was from District 4 and therefore was a career, and normally, all the careers survive the bloodbath. He was killed by Cato which is odd because Cato was a career as well, so shouldn't have killed him. However, in the mayhem that was occurring I suppose it would have been hard to see who you were killing.

4. The District 8 female was killed by the careers, because they had seen the fire she made. Who actually killed her?

Answer: Peeta

As crazy as it sounds, Peeta actually killed her! Cato wounded her and assumed she was dead, but no cannon fired; so after an argument Peeta went back to finish her off. A lot of people overlook this and say that Peeta had no direct kills, but as I have just shown, he did!

5. We all know that Katniss dropped a nest of Tracker Jackers on the careers, but who actually died in the attack?

Answer: Glimmer and District 4 female

The swarm engulfed Glimmer and District 4 female, but only Glimmer remained in sight of Katniss. Katniss got the bow and arrow off Glimmer's dead body, so there were some positives!

At this point Districts 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9 had all lost both their Tributes.

6. How did the District 10 male die?

Answer: Nobody knows

His death remains a mystery. On the morning of the day when Katniss and Rue were going to destroy the careers' food, they heard a cannon, but only when the faces flashed up at night, did they know it was for District 10 male. He most likely died either from starvation or thirst, or was killed accidentally by the Gamemakers.

7. After Katniss blew up the Cornucopia, one unlucky Tribute was murdered for allowing the Cornucopia to be blown up in the first place. Who am I talking about?

Answer: District 3 male

Cato, when returning to the Cornucopia, flew into a rage. The District 3 male, seeing this, attempted to run away but was rugby tackled by Cato. Cato then snapped the boy's neck, killing him instantly. He was the highest placing male Tribute without a name.

By now Districts 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 had lost both their tributes. Only eight people remained.

8. Poor little Rue was killed, but what I want to know is, by whom?

Answer: Marvel

Rue was on her way to lighting the third pre-set fire as a distraction while Katniss got rid of the careers' supplies, when she got tangled in a net. She screamed out for Katniss but got a spear in the stomach before Katniss could help. Katniss sung to Rue until she died and then covered Rue in flowers. In return, District 11 sent Katniss some bread. :)

9. Who was Marvel killed by?

Answer: Katniss

Katniss arrived at the scene just as Marvel stuck a spear into Rue. She shot an arrow into his neck, killing him. Because he died so quickly, he was actually placed lower than Rue overall.

10. The Tributes were invited to a feast, where there would be something they desperately needed. Despite the prediction of another bloodbath, only one Tribute was killed. Who was it?

Answer: Clove

Foxface cleverly hid inside the Cornucopia, then darted out to grab her bag as soon as it arrived, thus making sure no-one would challenge her as they would potentially lose their own bag. Katniss ran next, but after grabbing her bag was hit by one of Clove's knives. Clove wrestled her to the ground and was about to kill her when Thresh heard her boasting about the death of Rue. Thresh was so angry at Clove he killed her by bashing her head in. Thus, Clove was the only Tribute to die.

11. After the Cornucopia Feast, who died next, placing in fifth overall?

Answer: Thresh

Thresh had run off with Cato's bag and after a couple of days a cannon was heard announcing Thresh's death. We assume he was killed by Cato as Cato desperately needed his bag. In reality, we aren't sure how he died.

12. When Foxface died, she ate Nightlock berries. However she had also stolen other food from Katniss and Peeta. What did Katniss say to Peeta when she noticed some cheese was missing? "And I suppose the _____ ate the cheese?"

Answer: Apples

Foxface (apart from being my favourite character) was described as "sly and elusive". She was also extremely smart, as proved many times during the Hunger Games. At one point Katniss even considered allying with Foxface, but decided it would only end with a backstabbing. Foxface had a unique approach in that she stole from others, but never enough to make them notice the food was missing. Katniss at one point thought that if she were to die, Foxface could probably win. Alas, Foxface was killed by Peeta's sheer ignorance.

As Katniss says, "sometimes overestimating your opponents is just as bad as underestimating them".

13. What word did Cato mouth while being mauled by the mutts, that led to Katniss killing him out of pity?

Answer: Please

Cato wasn't killed by the mutts straight away, as he was wearing almost full body armour. He eventually was put out of his misery by Katniss with an arrow to the head. He placed in third. Katniss described him as "being the one always to beat".

14. How many people did Peeta kill, both directly and indirectly?

Answer: two

He killed Foxface indirectly with the Nightlock berries, but also killed the District 8 female when Cato thought she was dead but wasn't. So Peeta actually killed two people.

15. How many people did Katniss kill both directly and indirectly?

Answer: four

Her first kills (indirectly) were the two careers who died from the Tracker Jackers. She also killed Marvel in revenge for Rue and she killed Cato at the end to put him out of his misery.
