Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Nedry:

This character's name is believed to be a joke from Crichton. It's an anagram of "Nerdy Sinned".

Answer: Alan

6. Sattler (Dr.)

Answer: Ellie

Thank you to player laughinggirl for supplying Ellie's full name (from "The Lost World").

7. Arnold:

Answer: John

John Arnold heads Jurassic Park's control room staff.

For the movie adaptation the character's name was changed from John Arnold to Ray Arnold. It's not surprising, really, as I believe 23 or 24 characters (major and minor) appearing in the book are named John, if you count a couple of appearances of the name Ian as well, which is Scottish for "John". For the movie, though, I suspect that because one of the major characters was named John Hammond, and the jovial man was always called John, and a second major character was named Ian Malcolm, it would be confusing to have a third character go by the same name. In the book, people tended to be referred to by their surnames, and so the repetition of given names wasn't an inconvenience to the reader.

8. Muldoon:

Answer: Robert

The game warden for Jurassic Park.

9. Atherton:

Answer: Norman

You'd have to have been paying VERY close attention to get this one! Norman Atherton was John Hammond's partner when they founded International Genetic Technologies, Inc. (InGen).

10. Gennaro:

Answer: Donald

The lawyer that represents InGen's investors.

11. Regis:

Answer: Ed

Head of Public Relations for Jurassic Park.

12. Malcolm:

Answer: Ian

The Chaotician from Dallas, Texas.

13. Guitierrez (Dr.):

Answer: Marty

Researcher at Carara station in Costa Rica. He found the original procomsognathus specimen.

14. Carter (Dr.):

Answer: Roberta

The physician that treated the injured workman in Bah�a Anasco.

15. Ross:

Answer: Daniel

Another one you'd need to pay close attention for. He was Donald Gennaro's Boss at Cowain, Swain and Ross.
