Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After being dared by his friends to go into The Window's apartment, Jamal does something secretively in his locker. What is it?

Answer: He writes in a notebook.

 This is our introduction into Jamal's duality of basketball player - writer.
2. When Jamal and his friend, Fly, go to see Jamal's brother, Terrell, at the baseball stadium, what teams are playing?

Answer: NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox

 The guys had hoped for tickets, but Terrell informed them that it had been sold out for a long time.
3. What did Jamal put in his bag, intending to take it as proof to his friends that he'd been there, when he was in Forrester's apartment?

Answer: a letter opener

 He later uses the letter opener to open the letter sent him by Forrester posthumously.
4. Jamal gets into a discussion with the man who delivers things to Forrester about the man's car. What kind of car was it?

Answer: BMW

 Jamal informed the nervous man that BMW had started as plane engine manufacturing company, but after the war turned to car engines. The blue and white emblem of the company represented the propellers in the sky.
5. What is the name of the prep school that pulls Jamal in?

Answer: Mailor-Callow

 It's in Manhattan and promises both a good education and good basketball opportunities.
6. What bird does Forrester film?

Answer: Connecticut Warbler

 The way he was talking about it, Jamal had thought he was filming a man.
7. What is the name of Forrester's novel?

Answer: Avalon Landing

 Apparently it was some sort of seminal American novel, along the lines of 'Catcher in the Rye'.
8. By what name does the delivery guy call Forrester?

Answer: Mr. Johannsen

 Who knows where he got that name from, but it certainly accomodates Forrester's hermitic lifestyle.
9. What does Forrester wear inside out?

Answer: his socks

 He points out the ill-conceived design of socks that puts the seams on the inside, much to the discomfort of the toes.
10. When Jamal and the other guy on the basketball team have to shoot fouls to see who runs, how many baskets do they each make in a row?

Answer: 50

 The coach said it was the most impressive thing he'd ever seen on a court. As a side note, the coach is among the most wooden actors I've ever seen in film. Where on earth did Van Sant find that guy?
11. Claire told Jamal she was studying for an exam that asks silly questions, and gave some examples. After their 'basketball lesson' when Claire's dad interrupted them, Jamal told Claire the answer to one of the questions she gave as an example. What did he tell her?

Answer: Stanford introduced Watson to Holmes

 I hate school tests like that, which ask the most idiotic detailed questions for the sole purpose of figuring out whether or not you've read the book. The problem is, you usually can't answer the questions even if you have read the book!
12. What did Forrester win in the writing contest he entered?

Answer: the Pulitzer Prize

 This is a particularly funny exchange. Perhaps that's why they used it in every trailor...
13. What was the surprise gift Jamal gave Claire?

Answer: signed copy of William Forrester's novel

 She seemed infatuated with the book, proud of her first edition with Forrester's picture, so Jamal got a copy of the book signed for her.
14. Where do Jamal and Forrester go on Forrester's birthday?

Answer: Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium

 They got separated in Madison Square Garden, which caused Forrester much distress. Then they went to Yankee stadium, where they stood out on the pitcher's mound.
15. When Professor Crawford singled out the student in class, trying to get him to identify the author of a passage, why did the teacher single out Coleridge?

Answer: because the passage was written by Coleridge

 When Crawford kept pressuring Coleridge, Jamal told him to just say his name.
16. When Jamal 'challenges' Professor Crawford and Crawford starts reciting passages, trying to find one for which Jamal can't cite the author, which author was NOT cited?

Answer: Sartre

 He also gave a Kipling passage. Crawford was pretty pissed at being beaten at his own game.
17. In what magazine was the article ('A Season of Faith's Perfection') published that Jamal used as a jumping off point for his writing piece?

Answer: The New Yorker

 That's how Professor Crawford found the source - it had been published. The piece was titled 'Baseball's Best Year', but the subtitle was 'A Season...'
18. At the championship game in Madison Square Garden, what was the result of the two foul throws Jamal got at the end of the game?

Answer: He missed them both.

 This was after the board member basically told him that if he won the game, the problems with the competition submission piece would essentially go away.
19. Who delivers the letter Jamal had written to Forrester?

Answer: Jamal's brother

 This was Busta Rhymes' big dramatic moment. Too bad he's a musician and not an actor. Forrester took the letter and read it at the writing competition to help Jamal out.
20. What is Jamal's involvement going to be with Forrester's second book?

Answer: he's writing the foreward to it

 The manuscript was delivered to him after Forrester's death, and the title page said 'Foreward to be written by Jamal Wallace'.
