Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of Tom Hanks' character?

Answer: Viktor Navorski

 Viktor Navorski is the name of the character who is stranded at an airport because of political strife in his country. Whether it's based on the true story of Merhan Nasseri, who was 'stuck' in Charles De Gaulle airport for several years, or not, is open for speculation.
2. What fictional country is Viktor from?

Answer: Krakozhia

 Krakozhia is a fictional country intended to be located somewhere in Eastern Europe. Krakozhia is in the midst of a civil war and for this reason the United States no longer recognizes Krakozhia as a legitimate government.
3. In which U.S. airport is Viktor stranded?

Answer: JFK

 Viktor makes his new temporary home in the International Transit Lounge of New York's JFK International Airport. LaGuardia (LGA) is located in Queens, NY, LAX is Los Angeles International Airport, and Logan International (BOS) is in Boston, MA.
4. Since Viktor has been deemed "unacceptable" without a visa and passport, he is assigned to stay in the International Transit Lounge. He is issued a phone card, a pager and some food vouchers. Unfortunately, the food vouchers are blown away and get tossed in the trash. On what day does Viktor make an "appointment" with Gupta to get his vouchers back?

Answer: Tuesday

 Viktor promptly meets with Gupta at 9:30a on Tuesday, but Gupta says "I hate the Tuesday," and Viktor must find another way to eat.
5. Viktor does, in fact, find a way to earn money in order to buy something to eat. How does he do this?

Answer: He gets quarters by returning luggage carts.

 Viktor discovers that for each luggage cart he returns to the cart rack, he gets a quarter. In an effort to discourage this practice, Frank Dixon hires someone to do this job.
6. In a heart-warming scene, an extremely distraught passenger is pleading with Frank Dixon to allow him to take medicine to his dying father in Canada. Viktor is called in to assist by providing translation services. In what language does Viktor speak with the passenger?

Answer: Russian

 The passenger says "Ya Russky." Viktor speaks Russian well enough to interpret the situation. It's actually quite amazing how adeptly Viktor learns to speak English in the relatively short time he lives at the airport. He begins improving his English by studying two guides to NYC. One is written in Russian and the other is written in English.
7. In the scene with the distraught passenger, Viktor tells him to say someting that allows him to keep the medicine and continue on his way. What does he tell the man to say?

Answer: The medicine is for his goat.

 Viktor has read so many forms that he knows there is a loophole that will allow the man to keep his medicine. Viktor tells him to say the medicine is for his goat, much to the chagrin of Frank Dixon.
8. Viktor seems to have a knack for meeting an airline stewardess named Amelia, played by Catherine Zeta Jones. During one of these chance meetings in a bookstore, Amelia is buying a book on what historical figure?

Answer: Napoleon

 Viktor develops an ill-fated romance for Amelia, who is distracted by her affair with a married government official. Ultimately, Viktor's friendship with Amelia allows Viktor to finally visit NYC and fulfill the purpose of his visit. Amelia persuades her paramour to issue Viktor a one-day emergency pass.
9. How long does Viktor reside at Gate 67 in the airport?

Answer: 9 months

 The war in Krokozhia is over! Viktor receives a one-day emergency pass allowing him to enter NYC. Unfortunately, Frank Dixon, in an unreasonable attempt to thwart Viktor, refuses to sign the form. Viktor goes anyway with the help of all the friends he has made during his stay at the airport.
10. What is in the mysterious peanut can?

Answer: autographs

 Viktor has travelled to NYC in order to collect the last autograph for his deceased father's collection of jazz artists. He needs to get the autograph of Benny Golson in order to complete the collection. After accomplishing this, Viktor goes home.
