Answer: sunflower seeds

When he got into the car with Hartwell, Mulder told him that "there seems to be one obscure fact which in all the stories told by the different cultures is exactly the same, and that's that vampires are really, really obsessive-compulsive. Yeah, you toss a handful of seeds at one, no matter what he's doing he's got to stop and pick it up. If he sees a knotted rope, he's got to untie it. It's in his nature. In fact, that's why I'm guessing that our victim's shoelaces were untied."

From Quiz "X-Files" - "Bad Blood" II

Answer: shoelaces

Mulder walked away from Scully and Hartwell and went to the feet of the corpse. Bending over the shoes, Mulder asked, as though he'd discovered the secret of life, "Have you noticed that this man's shoes are untied!?"

When Hartwell confirmed that they did, Mulder snapped his fingers at him and told him to take him there.

From Quiz "X-Files" - "Bad Blood" I

Answer: fake teeth

Mulder tackled Ronnie to the ground and drove a stake through his chest. When Scully caught up to them, Mulder pulled back Ronnie's lip and showed Scully the kid's vampire teeth.

From Quiz "X-Files" - "Unusual Suspects"

Mulder was underneath some cardboard, naked and curled up into the fetal position, yelling, "They're here." He'd been sprayed by the Ergotimene histamine gas that Susanne Modeski had helped to develop. In small doses, of course, the gas caused anxiety paranoia in it's subject. "They're here" was also on the alien invasion booth at the convention that Mulder had seem interested in.

Helsinki Syndrome was what a terrorist analyst in 1988's "Die Hard" referred to mistakenly.

From Quiz "X-Files" - "Bad Blood" III

Answer: Rain Man

After Mulder shared his thoughts about vampires being obsessive-compulsive, Hartwell chimed in, "Yeah, obsessive... Like Rain Man.

From Quiz "X-Files" - "Kill Switch"

Answer: internet

When Scully gave him a skeptical look, he clarified, saying "Well, he didn't quite invent it, but he's a Silicon Valley folk hero. He was writing internet software even before there was an internet."

From Quiz "X-Files" - "The Post-Modern Prometheus" III

Answer: baseball

The Reporter showed Scully and Mulder a photo album with pictures of the Great Mutato riding a horse, sitting atop a trailer, and holding a baseball bat. I guess even monsters can participate in that all-American sport!

From Quiz "X-Files" - "The Post-Modern Prometheus" II

Answer: FBI Hunts Hometown Monster

The subtitle was "Agent Admits Stories: 'Believed to be True'".
