Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the main character in Stephen King's 'Cell'?

Answer: Clayton Riddell

Clay is the main character of the book, although Tom, Alice and Jordan also play significant roles.
2. An event described as 'The Pulse' was the basis of the story. When did the Pulse occur?

Answer: October 1st

If you live in America then the TRULY frightening day is April 15th- Income Tax Day!
3. Who killed Power Suit Woman?

Answer: Pixie Light

Pixie Light and Pixie Dark (Clay's names for them)were the girls in line with Clay when the Pulse hit. Myron Floren was best known as the accordionist on 'The Lawrence Welk Show' between 1950 and 1982. When Clay and company were walking along route 102 they heard Floren's version of'The Beer Barrel Polka'. The Head is Charles Ardai, Headmaster of the Academy.
4. Where was Clayton when the Pulse occurred?

Answer: Boston

While many of these cities will be familiar to King fans, this tale begins in Boston.
5. Why did Clayton want to get to Maine?

Answer: His wife and son were there

Even though he and his ex-wife had been having problems he was desperate to find her and his son. He was especially burdened because he had insisted that his son have a cell phone.
6. Who were the 'Phoners'?

Answer: People affected by the Pulse

They were known by other names as well such as 'Phone-crazies.'
7. What was Clayton doing when he first encountered Pixie Light and Pixie Dark?

Answer: Standing in line to buy an ice cream cone

The Pixies didn't end up so well. In fact, King would say that they were about as far from 'well' as you can get.
8. What were the names of Clayton's son and ex-wife?

Answer: Johnny and Sharon

Rafe, short for Rafael, was the name of Tom's cat. Tom felt he owed his life to him because before the Pulse hit Rafe had knocked Tom's cell phone down and broke it. Tom agonized over leaving Rafe but decided the cat would do better on its own. After Tom said a tearful goodbye, Rafe jumped down and according to the author, "...walked out of the room toward the kitchen with its tail up. And, true to its kind it never looked back." Gotta love cats, such survivors.
9. You know you are affected by the Pulse if you do which of the following?

Answer: Start flocking

The Phoners would move as if they were of one mind, like a flock of birds. They didn't get hairy or grow fangs. They also didn't seem to be searching for the Dark Tower, thankee sai.
10. What color was the baby sneaker (Baby Nike) that Alice found in Tom's yard and kept as a sort of talisman?

Answer: Pink and purple

She wore it tied arond her wrist for awhile. Clay thought it was creepy. I think 'creepy' about covers it.
11. Where did Clay meet Mr. Ricardi?

Answer: At the Atlantic Avenue Inn

Mr. Ricardi wouldn't leave the Inn. He committed suicide by hanging himself in his office.
12. What was Alice's last name?

Answer: Maxwell

McCourt was Tom's last name. The other two were not in the book.
13. What was 'The Head's' real name?

Answer: Charles Ardai

Arnie Nickerson was Tom's neighbor and quite a gun collector. Daniel Hartwick and Roscoe Handt were people that Clay met along the journey. The Head was the Chairman of the Gaiten Academy English Department, and was acting Headmaster when the Pulse occured. He was forced by the Raggedy Man to write 'Insane' in fourteen languages before committing suicide.
14. Who was Jordan?

Answer: The only student left in the Gaiten Academy

Jordan was an endearing computer nerd and was attending Gaiten Academy on scholarship. He had an idea that the Pulse had wiped out all higher reasoning from the brain (our super-computers) and reverted the Phone-crazies to their basic, somoewhat primitive mind-programming.
15. What was the name of the song heard along route 102?

Answer: 'Baby Elephant Walk'

Specifically the Lawrence Welk version of 'Baby Elephant Walk'. 'The Devil' is by an incredible band named 'Eleven54'. 'My Favorite Things' is from 'The Sound of Music', and 'Ina Gadda da Vita' is a classic by Iron Butterfly.
