Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does Eve name the Garden of Eden?

Answer: Niagara Falls Park

Her constant naming of animals and places is one of the things about Eve that bugs Adam.

2. What sign does she put up there?

Answer: Keep Off The Grass

To Adam, this is totally illogical!

3. What sign does she NOT erect?

Answer: This way to the Egress

The wrong sign, by the way, was used by P.T. Barnum to bamboozle excess crowds out of his circus! (Egress means exit!)

4. What does Adam do at the Falls?

Answer: He goes over them in a barrel

Obviously, he does this to escape pesky Eve.

5. What is the first creature Eve names?

Answer: Dodo

She names it so because it 'looks like a dodo'.

6. What animals does Eve place in Adam's bed to keep them warm?

Answer: Fish

This sort of behaviour only serves to make Adam further question his mate's sanity.

7. What does the snake tell Eve the apple is?

Answer: A chestnut

Eve blames Adam for their expulsion because he talked about an 'old chestnut' (joke), and the snake labels the apple as such.

8. Which of the following animals does Adam think his son Cain is?

Answer: Fish

Adam seems dumber than Eve when not recognizing his own offspring. (He also thinks his boy a bear and kangaroo.)

9. What does Eve wish she could put in her hair?

Answer: Stars

In her own childlike, naive way, Eve is more sensitive to the natural beauty around her than Adam.

10. Who does Eve think her reflection in the water is?

Answer: Her sister

Eve is still learning slowly about the world around her. She tries to join her 'sister' in the water, only to get soaked.

11. What animal does Eve cling to for warmth?

Answer: Tiger

Before the Fall, the tame tiger eats strawberries!

12. What prehistoric creature becomes Eve's 'pet'?

Answer: Brontosaurus

Lester Ralph's illustrations of Eve taming her 'pet' add to the humor.

13. Who first creates fire, Adam or Eve?

Answer: Eve

Eve nearly burns down the Garden, while Adam gets burned picking up a fire-coal.

14. What name does Eve give the place they settle in after the Fall?

Answer: Towanda

Eve just can't break the habit of naming things.

15. What are the last three words in the book's final sentence: 'Wheresoever she was, _____ ___ ____'?

Answer: there was Eden

Twain remembers his late wife Olivia with these touching words by Adam while over Eve's grave.
