Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is Shogo Kawada from?

Answer: Kobe

Shogo is a little more sophisticated not only because of his experience, but because he's from "the big city."

2. What year was the first Program held?

Answer: 1947

"Officially known as Battle Experiment No. 68 Program," the book tells us. "The first program was held in 1947."

3. What color is the insignia worn by government agents in the Republic of Greater East Asia?

Answer: Peach

It's worn by soldiers and bureaucrats alike.

4. Who among the following is not killed or injured in the pre-game debriefing in the Okishima Island schoolhouse?

Answer: Mizuho Inada

Yoshitoki is gunned down; Fumiyo is killed by a throwing knife in the forehead. Norkio is shot in the leg but not killed. Mizuho Inada, on the other hand, lives to be the fifth-from-last casualty of the Program.

5. Who calls Kinpatsu Sakamochi in the schoolhouse to discuss wagering on students in the game?

Answer: The Superintendent

His kids aren't grown, Mr. Hayashida was killed before the Program began, and the Dictator might not even exist at all.

6. Which of the following is explicitly NOT part of the Republic of Greater East Asia?

Answer: Korea

We're not told about Vietnam or Mongolia, but China is included. Korea (or the Democratic Nation of the Korean Peninsula) has yet to be annexed.

7. In the document Shinji downloads after hacking the government website, what word is the first part of the code for their explosive collars?

Answer: guadalcanal

The collars are coded "guadalcanal-shiroiwa" followed by a number and then a letter, with separate listings for the 21 boys and 21 girls.

8. Who is the only student killed by an exploding collar?

Answer: Sho Tsukioka

This is the book, remember; in the movie Shogo kills Kazuo by shooting him in the collar, but in the book it's only the unlucky Sho who wanders into a forbidden zone.

9. What secret weapon, attached to his knife, did Shinji get as a gift from his freedom fighter uncle?

Answer: a detonator

Shinji uses it in his plan to blow up the school.

10. Who is declared the winner of the Third Year Class B Shiroiwa Junior High School Program?

Answer: Shogo Kawada

The authorities don't know about Shuya and Noriko's survival, and the vicious Kazuo is the final casualty--besides Shogo, whose wounds eventually kill him. But he's still declared the winner.
