Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "The last ever Dolphin message, misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double backwards somersault through a hoop while whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner'", actually means what?

Answer: "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

The dolphins of Earth, being the second most intelligent species on Earth while humans were the third, long knew of the impending destruction of Earth. They decide to leave, after many attempts to alert humans of the approaching danger.
2. Arthur makes tea the morning his house and the Earth are destroyed, AND he gets to drink it.

Answer: False

Arthur manages to make tea the morning that his house is destroyed, but he doesn't get to drink it. He doesn't get any real Earth tea until the very end of the movie.
3. According to "The Guide", "Vogons are one of the most _________ races in the galaxy."

Answer: Unpleasant

After escaping Earth, Arthur looks up Vogons in "The Guide". It tells him that Vogons are one of the most unpleasant races in the galaxy, and that they wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers.
4. A super computer has been designed to answer the Ultimate Question - what is it?

Answer: What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

This question is then asked of Deep Thought, the super computer, soon after she is made. She says she'll have to think about it, and that they should return in 7 1/2 million years for her answer.
5. Deep Thought's answer to the Ultimate question, which the world had been waiting 7 1/2 million years for, wasn't what they were expecting.

Answer: True

The people who have waited seven and a half million years aren't too happy with Deep Thought after she gives them the answer of "42".

If you look very closely at close-up shots of Deep Thought during the movie, you can see a small Apple icon above her eye.
6. What color is the Presidential Prisoner Release form?

Answer: Blue

Since they have the now incredibly stupid Zaphod, whose brain is powered by lemons, they can use him to set Trillian free from being eaten by the troll. They originally filled out a regular white release form, but since they had Zaphod they needed a Presidential release form, which the Vogon made them go back and fill out once again, telling them it was blue.
7. On Vogsphere, you'll be slapped in the face with a paddle that comes out of the ground if you do what?

Answer: Think

After Marvin, Ford, Arthur, and Zaphod land on Vogsphere and get slapped in the face a few times, they figure out why they are getting slapped. They try not thinking about anything, but it doesn't work too well. They finally run for the city as fast as they can.
8. What country does Trillian want to go to with Arthur, in the very beginning of the movie, that she mentions again once they're on the Heart of Gold?

Answer: Madagascar

Madagascar is a country right off the coast of Africa. Trillian wants to go somewhere with Arthur she has never been before, and thinks Madagascar would be a nice place to go with him.
9. What does Slartibartfast show to Arthur at the Planet Factory Floor?

Answer: Earth Mark II

Slartibartfast finds Arthur after he can't get through the portal on Magrathea. He reassures Arthur that things are going to be alright by showing him Earth Mark II, which they are rebuilding after the Vogons have destroyed the original, and finally brought him right back to his house.
10. Who defeats the Vogons in Arthur's yard, at the end of the movie?

Answer: Marvin

Marvin uses the gun they retrieve from Deep Thought for Humma Kavula, to defeat the Vogons. The gun makes whomever you shoot with it think the same as you do, so Marvin uses the gun to make all the Vogons depressed and they fall over. After this, Marvin, Zaphod, Trillian, Arthur, Questular Rontok and Slartibartfast leave for the Heart of Gold once again.
