Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In the first scene of 'The End,' which size nozzle cleaner did Rimmer ask for?

Answer: 14b

After chastising Lister for giving him the wrong size nozzle cleaner, he realised he couldn't tell the difference between a 14b and a 14f either, and ended up using the one Lister gave him.

2. Also in 'The End,' in which corridor was the dispenser situated?

Answer: Corridor 159

Rimmer reels off the corridor, dispenser number and the fault description. 172 is the dispenser number and 169 are the last three digits of Lister's ID.

3. Paul Bradley, who played Chen in 'The End,' also starred in which British soap opera?

Answer: Eastenders

Paul played soppy Nigel for a number of years, before being written out for some reason.

4. What music did George McIntyre request be played to accompany his send off in 'The End'?

Answer: See You Later Alligator

Knowing he would be resurrected as the first ship's hologram, he chose this song (pretty clever really). Talkie Toaster sings "Fly Me To The Moon" in 'Future Echoes'.

5. What did Rimmer write 400 times on his last Astro-navigation exam? (Also from 'The End'.)

Answer: I am a fish

Rimmer after writing 'I am a fish' salutes then collapses. He vehemently denies this accusation saying "I wrote a discourse on porous circuits, so radical that they didn't understand it." (Yeah! As if.)

6. At the beginning of 'Future Echoes,' Lister gives his RD number to the food dispenser. What is that number?

Answer: 52169

This number is required to ensure all food and drink is charged to the person getting it.

7. The dispenser has a number of faults, these include a lisp and voice recognition. Which two items does Lister receive when asking for a bacon sandwich and a coffee?

Answer: A pair of wellies and a bucket

The faults had been reported to the Skutters (Red Dwarf's service bots) but had not been fixed.

8. When Rimmer insults Holly in 'Future Echoes,' he asks for a crew cut. What hairstyle does Holly give him?

Answer: Beehive

When Rimmer finally looks in the mirror, he likens his image to that of Helen Shapiro (will mean nothing to people under 30). He then proceeds to apologise to Holly in order to get his old hair back.

9. At what time in 'Future Echoes' does Red Dwarf make the jump to light speed?

Answer: 11:14 ship time

When the ship jumps to light speed it judders, this causes Lister to ask Holly "what was that?" To which Holly replies "11:14 ship time, Dave".

10. Finally, what age was Lister's future self when he returned to inform the present Lister of his babies?

Answer: 171

From future episodes we know Lister dies at age 183 whilst trying to remove a bra strap with his teeth. This elicited the comments "Perhaps it was your own" and "Were the teeth in your mouth".
