Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is Dylan mentally complaining about in the fast food joint?

Answer: The 'joint' doesn't look like a joint

Dylan thought that a joint should be dim with mahogany tables. He and Shep were hungry, though, so he dealt with it.

2. What mental disability does Shep have?

Answer: Autism

This leads to both frustrating and entertaining moments throughout the book. One example is Shep naming off as many nice variations for a vulgar word as he can think off.

3. What is the name of Jilly's plant?

Answer: Fred

Jilly constantly chats with Fred, even apologizing when she said she was crazy for talking to a plant. Fred is unintentionally left behind when the trio 'folds' away from the hotel room.

4. What is the name of the Jackson family curse, as stated by Jilly's mother?

Answer: The Gluteus Maximus

The entire Jackson family, save a few lucky members, have grown up with large derrieres. Only when she is falling off of a church roof does she wish the curse upon herself.

5. How much of the 'stuff' is pumped into Dylan's arm?

Answer: 18cc

It is later that it is revealed that the 'stuff' is actually millions upon millions of nanomachines. Dylan complains about why he was injected with it after being beaten over the head while Jilly was chloroformed.

6. Upon first learning Dylan's name, Jilly is surprised because he looks more like a what?

Answer: Bruno

Dylan is a really big guy, though his profession is an artist. He was on his way to his next convention when the story unfolded.

7. Jilly's blue car was blown up as the trio were leaving the hotel. What make was it?

Answer: Cadillac Coupe De Ville

Inside is what appears to be the corpse of the doctor they refer to as 'Frankenstein'. Apparently, he locked himself inside the car and detonated a briefcase bomb.

8. Upon touching the toad pin, Dylan drives like mad to prevent what?

Answer: A stabbing

Dylan spins around and tears down the highway at over 100 mph. Luckily, they reach the house in one piece and manage to save an elderly woman and her grandson.

9. What is the name of the man Dylan beats up outside the diner?

Answer: Lucas Crocker

Apparently, Crocker had his mother locked in the basement while he sold all of her stuff. This took place immediately after Dylan introduced a granddaughter to the grandfather she never met.

10. If optimism makes him a millionaire, what does Dylan say he is going to buy first, before anything?

Answer: Gloves

Dylan's ability of sensing the 'psychic spore' would be nullified if he wore gloves. However, he later abandoned the idea and decided to deal with it.

11. Exactly how long does Shep need to take a shower?

Answer: Nine minutes

Shep always sets a kitchen timer to nine minutes, though he'll yell 'Ding!' before it goes off. The moisture causes the clock to rust up rather fast, so Dylan buys them in the dozens.

12. What is the real name of 'Frankenstein'?

Answer: Lincoln Merriweather Procter

Both Dylan and Jilly agree that it's not a very intimidating name. They even look at each individual name and look at what that name implies.

13. What does Procter say should be the name of the new 'super-race'?

Answer: Proctorians

This infuriates Jilly and she begins ranting again on how Procter is self-absorbed. This annoys Dylan as well, though he remains calm.

14. Why does Shep hate Goldfish crackers?

Answer: They're 'shapy'

Shep only eats food if it's in a square or rectangular shape. Liquids are exempt from Shep's prejudice as they are shapeless.

15. What does Dylan compare 'folding' in public to?

Answer: Peeing on old ladies' shoes

To keep their abilities as secretive as possible, Dylan begins explaining why Shep shouldn't 'fold' in public or into public. This comes back to haunt Dylan though when Shep refuses to 'fold' in a public restroom moments later.

16. What does the assassin say just before the trio 'folds' away?

Answer: 'O'Connor!

It's never explained who the man is or how he found out Dylan's (or Shep's) name. It is later implied that he was a mercenary hired by Procter's associates to kill them.

17. How many of the yellow floppy discs does young Procter take?

Answer: Four

After killing both of Dylan and Shep's parents, he rummages through the house until he gets them. He also trashes the house to make it look like a robbery.

18. After returning to the O'Conner house in the present day, when referring to the racket downstairs, Jilly comments that the trio has a double scoop of what?

Answer: Apocalypse Now

The men who are hunting the trio track them down to Dylan and Shep's home and begin blasting the house to pieces with automatic weapons. The only injuries the trio takes from this fiasco is a couple of big splinters that Jilly obtains.

19. In the church, the trio hurry to stop a shooting at a wedding. What was the first gunman reading?

Answer: Entertainment Weekly

The man is reading to pass time before he begins shooting. Because of this, Dylan easily sneaks up on him.

20. After 'folding' for the first time, how high in midair does Jilly reappear?

Answer: 22 feet

Luckily, she 'folds' onto the roof of the church, though this still proves to be problematic. On her third try, she finally manages to 'fold' to the scaffolding several feet away from the third gunman.

21. When the third killer falls to the ground and begins bouncing around, what is the old woman he eventually comes to a stop next to wearing?

Answer: A large feathered hat with a wide brim

As the man falls, he breaks his neck on one of the pews and his corpse bounces around for a few seconds before coming to rest several pews behind the first one. Understandably, the lady promptly freaks out.

22. After the incident at the church, where does Shep 'fold' the trio?

Answer: New Mexico

Dylan and Shep had been there a while back on one of Dylan's conventions. It is here that Dylan uses his 'psychic spore' to locate the house near Lake Tahoe.

23. What was the name of Procter's test subject that gained the ability to mentally start fires?

Answer: Manwell

Manwell, as were several of the original test subjects, was a convict. After he developed his fiery ability, he was quickly, though not easily, put down.

24. Where does Shep 'fold' the group and leave Procter to die?

Answer: The North Pole

Earlier, Shep had continuously asked 'Where's all the ice?'. The North Pole was one of Jilly's responses.

25. What is the name that the group gives themselves?

Answer: The Moonlight Club

Shep begins naming off synonyms of the word 'group' and continues naming them off as Jilly thinks about 'club'. This isn't the official name of the group, but it is the name that Jilly picks.
