Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which contestant's mother is in India and father is a workaholic?

Answer: Olive Ostrovsky

Olive's mother is in India on a nine-month religious pilgrimage, and her father misses most of the bee because he's at work. She makes friends with William Barfee, and comes in second place, behind him.

2. Which contestant was last year's champion, who falls in love during the bee?

Answer: Chip Tolentino

Answer: Mitch Mahoney

Mitch is there fulfilling his community service requirement on probation.

4. True or False: Logainne's mom tried to disable her opponent's "magic foot".

Answer: False

One of Logainne's gay dads pours soda on the stage, so that William's "magic foot" won't work. She doesn't agree with this, and later tries to clean it up.

5. Which contestant uses his "magic foot" to help him spell words?

Answer: William Barfee

William's name is pronounced wrong by almost everyone. ("It's Bar-FAY!") He missed the bee last year because of health problems, but returned this year and won! Unfortunately, he didn't do too well in the national bee.

6. Who is the male official at the bee?

Answer: Douglas Panch

Mr. Panch is substituting for the superintendent at this year's bee. He supposely has some problems that keep him from staying at his school, where he was the Vice Principal.

7. Which of Leaf's sisters does another contestant fall in love with?

Answer: Marigold

Leaf placed third in his district's bee. The boy who came in first had a bar mitzvah, and the second place winner had to attend the bar mitzvah. He has many brothers and sister, all of whom are named after something in nature.

8. Who is the contestant that ends up writing a book?

Answer: Marcy Parks

Marcy deliberately blows the word "camouflage", showing her parents that she's not always perfect. Her book was entitled "Not Living Up to Expectations".

9. How many audience members take part in each show?

Answer: 3-4

They are given words, and take part in the bee. (Note: If you saw the show and it was different, please let me know. I've heard only 3 or 4.)

10. And finally, the question you've all been waiting for, who won?

Answer: William

William Barfee won after correctly spelling "weltanshauung". He and Olive stayed friends, though.
