Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When we first meet Dave Lister, he's stranded on Mimas, a moon of Saturn. How is he attempting to earn money for a trip back to Earth?

Answer: Driving a (stolen) cab

We find Lister driving a stolen cab, in a futile attempt to earn the fare back to earth. Unfortunately, he finds Mimas so depressing that he blows his pay on booze every night.

2. Where is Lister staying while on Mimas?

Answer: In a luggage locker at the spaceport

He rented a luggage locker to sleep in. His first night on Mimas he slept in the park, only to wake up completely naked with an old man licking his foot.

3. Lister signs on to the 'Red Dwarf', mistakenly believing it is bound for Earth. What is the name of the captain of the 'Red Dwarf?' (in the book, not the TV show)

Answer: Captain Kirk

The captain is a dumpy American woman with the unfortunate surname of Kirk.

4. Arnold Rimmer is Lister's immediate superior on the Dwarf. What is his rank?

Answer: First Technician

While Rimmer's a pathetic Second Technician on the TV show, he's a pathetic First Technician in the book.

5. Holly is the ship's computer, with an IQ in the four digit range. What question does Peterson first ask of this genius machine?

Answer: Why is the room spinning around?

He was delighted when Holly answered correctly: 'Because you're drunk.'

Answer: 'Sorry man, I thought you were food.'

Lister and Rimmer are disturbed to find the cat city in the cargo bay. Lister is tackled by the Cat, who mistook him for something edible.

7. The crew find Kryten in the wreck of a ship called 'The Nova 5.' What company did the 'Nova 5' work for?

Answer: Coca-Cola

Their mission was to detonate several dozen stars, so that the resulting super novas would spell out 'COKE ADDS LIFE' as seen from Earth. The crew does not live to enjoy their success, as they are all killed in the crash. Perhaps Kryten shouldn't have washed the navigation computer.

8. Lister convinces everyone to repair the 'Nova 5' so they can return to earth. Rimmer is in charge of the repair work. While the rest of the crew goes mining for fuel, who stays to help Rimmer?

Answer: Rimmer II

Rimmer creates a clone of himself, using the 'Nova 5's hologram projection unit. Rimmer learns the hard way that he can't even get along with himself.

Answer: It's a Wonderful Life

You wouldn't think it, but Lister is a sucker for the Christmas classic. In his fantasy world he lives in Bedford Falls and is married to Kristine Kochanski, with twin sons.

Answer: Brazilian

She's known as the Brazilian Bombshell. Unfortunately, Rimmer is so screwed up that even his psyche hates him, and his fantasy woman cheats on him.
