Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which county in England is Eastdown in?

Answer: Sussex

Eastdown is, of course, a fictional place. Seemed nice enough though.

2. The Thompsons find a cosh and what other item in Tintin's pockets?

Answer: Wallet

These were planted on him in order to get arrested (and it worked).

3. How do Puschov and his associates intend to kill Tintin?

Answer: Make him jump off a cliff

This is averted by Snowy, however, who provokes a goat and runs towards where Puschov and his henchman are, knocking Puschov over, and giving Tintin time to seize the gun. A nice plan, but the crooks still get away when the goat comes back, making Tintin lose his balance and giving the bad guys time to get away.

4. What does Snowy originally lead Tintin to at the site of the crashed aircraft?

Answer: A bone

Snowy does lead Tintin to the flying jackets afterwards, one of which contains important clues to Muller's dealings.

5. What is Muller's profession?

Answer: Mental health superintendent

He intends to render Tintin insane, just as Mitsuhirato did in 'The Blue Lotus'.

6. With what does the fireman try to open the door to the fire engines?

Answer: His wife's jam cupboard key

This, we are led to believe, is not the first time he has mistakenly taken this.

7. What is Muller having delivered in the grounds of his estate?

Answer: Banknotes

He has an aeroplane drop these counterfeit notes in sacks.

8. What does Tintin use to tie up Muller and Ivan?

Answer: Electric wire

This was the wire from the lights used to signal to the delivery plane. It backfires though, as when the two struggle, they cause a short-circuit which burns the wires.

9. What item of food does Snowy manage to acquire during the furore on the train?

Answer: A whole roast chicken

He grabs it in his mouth when the waiter serving it is knocked flying during Tintin's pursuit of Muller and Ivan.

10. What is the name of the castle on 'The Black Island'?

Answer: Craig Dhui

Residents of Kiltoch believed that a 'beast' lived in the ruins of the castle.

11. What animal frightens the life out of Snowy?

Answer: spider

Surprisingly, it wasn't Ranko, the big fierce Gorilla on the island feared by all of Kiltoch, but a little spider. Ranko was actually scared of Snowy's bark.

12. What does Tintin call one of the gangsters he comes across in the printing room?

Answer: Puss in boots

This was because, strangely enough, he was wearing boots.

13. What does TIntin use to knock out the two men in the printing room?

Answer: His gun

When Muller and Ivan get there, Tintin uses the ink roller.

14. What is on the television in the room Tintin finds?

Answer: A flying competition

This shows us the plane that the Thompsons commandeered winning the competition, thanks to some unwitting aerobatics.

15. How many of the forgers are arrested by the police at the end of the story?

Answer: 5

These were Muller, Ivan, Puschov, Puss in Boots, and the other man from the printing room.
