Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who is looking forward to a good dose of complaining at San Moritz?

Answer: Mari

'I was rooming with Belen and another girl, Mari. Lila's name was also on the roster for our room, but none of us expected her to show up. 'Too bad,' said Mari. 'I was looking forward to a good dose of complaining.'

2. What did the avalanche sound like?

Answer: Muffled drums

'And then we heard it. It was an odd sound, like muffled drums far off.'

3. What's the name of the church in Lugano where Dinnie first saw Lila?

Answer: St. Abbondio

Lugano is a real place. Mt. San Salvatore and its funicolare are really there, and Montagnola is a real village. St. Abbondio is therefore a real church.

4. What time are lights-out at San Moritz?

Answer: Ten-thirty

Lights-out were tecnically at ten-thirty, but Belen and Mari shoved a towel at the crack under the door so that it would look like lights were out, and kept talking.

5. Which boy that would be 'suitable' for Belen eats like a pig?

Answer: Manuel

Belen likes Keisuke, who is Japanese, but unfortnately her parents are not open-minded and want for her 'a nice Spanish boy'. Gherardo, Pablo, and Manuel are examples. Fadi is Mari's boyfriend.

6. What color was Lila's jacket?

Answer: Pink

7. What does 'servitevi' mean in Italian (hint: it was one of Dinnie's signs)?

Answer: Help yourself

Dinnie wants to put a sign in her window that says 'Help' or 'Taken by force'. 'Servitevi' is one of her attempts. Guthrie tries to be helpful, but his suggestions are the Italian for 'haircut' and 'turnip', or 'blockhead'.

8. In what section of Switzerland is Lugano?

Answer: The Ticino

There are different sections of Switzerland. The section that Lugano is in is in a Italian-speaking section, near the border. It's called the Ticino.

9. What color was Dinnie's chalet-casa?

Answer: White

Aunt Sandy, Uncle Max and Dinnie lived in a white chalet with a red roof.

10. Which teacher stayed behind with Dinnie the day of the avalanche?

Answer: Mr. Bonner

Signora Palermo went up the mountain with everyone except Dinnie. Mr. Bonner, who, like Dinnie, was only a beginner, sat with her in the cafe. They, therefore, saw the entire avalanche from far below.
