Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Richard claims to have absolutely no idea on what to do next.

After Ilana says that Richard has the answer, Richard utters a mocking laugh and says, "I have no idea what we do next. You didn't tell your friend that I was trying to kill myself when you found me? Does that sound like someone who has a plan?"

2. As the party is discussing the merits of following Richard, Hurley can be seen speaking to an unknown entity. In which language is Hurley speaking to the unidentified entity?

Answer: Spanish

Hurley is standing apart from the group apparently engaged in conversation with someone or something. He is speaking in Spanish. Jack approaches, thinking that Hurley is speaking with Jacob. Jack insists that Hurley is speaking with Jacob and wants to know what Jacob is saying. However, Hurley firmly attests that it is not Jacob. "It's not Jacob, man!"

3. In this exquisite examination of the history of Richard, we find that Richard comes from what country or region?

Answer: Canary Islands

In the year 1867, Richard is riding a horse through the undeveloped regions of Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Richard has arrived at home only to find that his beloved wife is seriously ill.

Answer: The greedy doctor declines Richard's offer.

In this tragic scene, Richard implores the doctor for the medicine that could possibly save his wife. The doctor, stubborn and greedy, refuses to accommodate Richard.

5. Richard secures the medicine that should save his wife. Is it true that Richard administers the medicine in time to save Isabella's life?

Answer: No

Richard procures the medicine. Unfortunately, Richard is not in time to save Isabella. Tragically, Isabella has succumbed to her illness. Richard was unable to save her.

Answer: The smoke monster appears and kills the captain.

Having killed several of the other captives, the captain wavers before Richard preparing to skewer him as well. Suddenly, the mysterious sounds of the smoke monster emanate from throughout the ship. The smoke monster envelops the captain in a plume of smoke.

Answer: "It's good to see you out of those chains."

The "Man in Black" utters these words to Richard, "It's good to see you out of those chains." These are the very same words that the entity (John Locke) expresses to Richard before rendering him unconscious.

Answer: Jacob bestows eternal life upon Richard.

Not being able to receive the gift that Richard most desires, that is, the return of his beloved wife, Richard aspires to live forever. Richard says, "I never want to die. I want to live forever." Jacob grants his request.

9. Richard is at his wit's end. He is ready to accede to the long forgotten promise made to the MiB. Even so, someone intercepts Richard and makes a profound impression. Who is this?

Answer: Hurley

Hurley possesses the extraordinary ability to communicate with those who have passed away. Hurley uses this ability to allow Richard to communicate with Isabella. Naturally, Richard is suspicious, but Hurley convinces Richard with the words of Isabella.

10. It is Jacob's objective to sequester the MiB on the island. Conversely, it is paramount that the MiB escape from the island. What symbolic gesture or item does Jacob present to the MiB?

Answer: a wine bottle

It seems that the MiB has lost a minor battle in his effort to leave the island. The wine bottle is a metaphor for his own struggle to free himself from his captivity. In relish, he breaks the wine bottle upon the rocks to demonstrate his defiance.
