Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Rimmer of Series 8 does not have a H on his forehead.

Answer: True

The nanobots had resurrected the whole crew along with Red Dwarf; consequently Rimmer is no longer a hologram and has not got a H on his forehead.

2. The Chief Medical Officer (Karen) heard about the fact that they were three million years into deep space, and that Red Dwarf had changed shape. From which source did she learn this?

Answer: the coffee machine on G deck

Captain Hollister: 'That is classified information, Karen. Who told you that?' Karen: 'The coffee machine on G deck.'

3. What did Kryten say to prove he could lie while he was being examined by the psychiatric counsellor?

Answer: 'You have a very fine haircut.'

The counsellor was more worried about the fact that the chair Kryten was sitting on was bolted to the floor, as he thought the mechanoid was dangerous. Little does he know!

4. Kryten was having trouble displaying an emotion and each time he tried to show ambivalence he described his resulting expression as what?

Answer: Lister being forced to eat fruit

This interesting fact came to light when Kryten was telling Kochanski that the Red Dwarf officers wanted to restore his factory settings and remove all the corrupted files that made him what he was.

5. What colour was the Luck Virus?

Answer: blue

I only hope you are not still watching TV in black and white. If that is the case, my sincere apologies.

6. What was written on the EXIT button in Blue Midget?

Answer: E11T

11 in Roman numerals is XI, so that became E - XI - T which spells EXIT. When the crew were in the screensaver, the ketchup bottle was named 'Power Ketchup' which can be translated as 'Power Sauce' and thus 'power source'.

7. What did the second Ground Controller call Cat?

Answer: Mr Sucks

This was during the second escape attempt, and the Ground Controller was not the same as the first one. Disapointed at this, Cat groaned 'Reality sucks!' when the woman asked for his name, and she called him Mr Sucks thereafter.

8. How are the Canaries described by the Prison Governor?

Answer: 'The toughest convict army this side of Pluto'

The Canaries were sent into situations to make sure it was safe before members of Red Dwarf's crew went in. They were named after the birds who would test the air in mines in the 19th century. Rimmer tells Lister that the word is an acronym for the 'convict army' answer, but this is not how the Prison Governer describes them.

9. According to Cassandra, how old would Lister be when he dies?

Answer: 181

He would, apparently, die while removing a bra with his teeth. This seemed to be a fine way to go, until Kryten observed that the teeth might not have been in his mouth at the time.

10. What was the name of Cassandra's ship?

Answer: Silverberg

Cassandra was able to predict the future, and knew that Lister would be the cause of her death; the final scene of this episode shows how this was done with a piece of chewing gum, and it is worth watching!

11. With whom did Ackerman have a date on Saturday night?

Answer: Miss Patricia Carling

Ackerman told the inmates this fact when he was asking for the return of his glass eye, as without it he was only half-lovely.

12. What does Lister NOT do to Ackerman's quarters?

Answer: put nail clippings on the bedside table

Lister also took a bite out of a sandwich and threw the remainder under a cushion, put a CD of 'Frank Acissi and the Apostles' on the player, scatters magazines around, puts a lobster on the lamp and places a posing male statue on the table.

13. Where did Lister and Rimmer put the sodium pentathol (truth serum)?

Answer: in Ackerman's inhaler

. . . and Ackerman had them hauled in front of the captain and the punishment is for Lister and Rimmer to captain a team of their choice in a basketball match against Ackerman and the Guards.

14. What is the punishment Lister and Rimmer receive for spiking the Guards' half-time drinks with 'boing', the virlity enhancement drug?

Answer: two weeks spud duty

They were sentenced to two months in the Hole after they had infected Captain Hollister with the pre-progammed virus which ate the potato skins.

15. What was the name of the inmate who had a down on Cat?

Answer: Baxter

Baxter was defeated by the time wand in 'Pete 1', and reappeared in the last episode, 'Only the Good', when Cat turned the situation around to become top dog (or cat).

16. According to Lister, if a T-Rex was a bloke what would he be?

Answer: a geordie

He would be a geordie because he is 'hard' - 'the kind of guy who wears t-shirts in the middle of winter and his nipples don't even get hard.'

17. According to Rimmer, when is Captain Hollister quick?

Answer: when he is passing a salad bar

Rimmer is unaware that Captain Hollister is standing behind him while he is telling Lister what he thinks of him, and then pretends to be suffering from a potato virus in order to explain his behaviour.

18. Upset that he is classified as a woman because of a lack of a certain anatomical part, Kryten makes himself one. What does he call it?

Answer: Archie

Kryten made it out of an old electron board, a loo roll, some sticky-backed plastic and an Action Man's polo-necked jumper. Kochanski congratulated him on becoming a real man because he soon proved that he had no control over it.

19. What was the name of Captain Hollister's spiritual advisor?

Answer: Talia

We first meet Talia when she visits Captain Hollister; when we next see her Rimmer is the Captain (in an alternative dimension) and he misjudges the situation, not knowing that she is the Captain's spititual advisor, and a nun into the bargain.

20. What does Rimmer threaten to pour down the dispensing machine's speaker?

Answer: beef soup

The machine was upset because Rimmer had stolen a chocolate bar, and was trying to alert other people to the situation, when Rimmer made this threat.
