Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where Mr Krabs has Plankton and Squidward has Squilliam, does Mrs Puff's Boating School have any rivals?

Answer: No

Mrs Puff's Boating School is the only one in all of Bikini Bottom. Because of this, Mrs Puff's career is generally quite stable and busy.

2. Show creator Stephen Hillenburg often referred to Mrs Puff as "the character who stopped the show from being greenlit." Why is this?

Answer: The existence of Mrs Puff was why Nickelodeon accepted the whole show

Nickelodeon originally shot down the concept of the show itself, demanding that Hillenburg make SpongeBob into a school-aged child who went to school in order to allow the show on their channel. Hillenburg was actually going to walk away from Nickelodeon as a whole, but later used Mrs Puff as a measure of compromise. Hillenurg's compromise was that SpongeBob would be an adult who went to school. Without Mrs Puff, this option would not have been on the table.

3. The creation of Mrs Puff was fused by Stephen Hillenburg's personal experiences. What specific experience of Hillenburg's did he inject into making Mrs Puff?

Answer: His experience as a marine science teacher

Hillenburg began his adult life in a career of marine science teaching. It was with this background that he actually had the sufficient background to make the show as it is. As Mrs Puff is a teacher, Hillenburg injected his own experiences as a teacher into making Mrs Puff's character.

4. Mrs Puff is unfortunately a widow. What happened to Mr Puff?

Answer: Fishermen captured him and turned him into a novelty lamp cover

In "Krusty Love," this information is revealed when Mr Krabs asks SpongeBob what happened. It is never revealed how exactly SpongeBob learned this.

Answer: SpongeBob

All eight other main characters of the show have passed Mrs Puff's boating school, even Karen the computer, with the exception of SpongeBob. He has tried time and time again, but has failed fantastically every single time, even with the aid of Patrick helping him cheat.

6. In "No Free Rides," Mrs Puff's boating school is closed due to legal issues. What new profession does she take up until it reopens?

Answer: Bank robbery

Mrs Puff even remarks how she always keeps a ski mask on her person "in case things take a turn for the worse again." In this episode, Mrs Puff ends up getting caught, arrested and thrown in jail.

7. Is it possible that "Mrs Puff" isn't actually Mrs Puff's real name?

Answer: Yes

In "No Free Rides," Mrs Puff, while evading the police, mentions that she will likely have to move to another town with a new name and a new life. Then, she mutters "no... not again" which seems to imply that she has already done this. Whether or not her real name is Mrs Puff is a mystery thanks to this episode.

8. In one episode, Patrick draws a demeaning picture of Mrs Puff and gives it a nasty name. What does Patrick think of Mrs Puff as?

Answer: Big Fat Meanie

It is overall an intentionally poor drawing of Mrs Puff. Based on her reaction, it almost seems as though Mrs Puff is more offended by the poor artwork than the nickname.

9. Mrs Puff idolizes over a fish by the name of Henrik Fjord, the inventor of the boatmobile. What real-life figure is Fjord based off of, who had a similar impact in the real world?

Answer: Henry Ford

Henry Ford is a real-world American industrialist who founded the Ford Motor Company, one of the largest and most popular car producing companies in all of history. Henrik Fjord is quite clearly a shout out to Henry Ford, and Mrs Puff idolizing Fjord makes sense because she is a driving instructor.

Answer: She only had to pay $9 to be granted admission, Sandy paid $10

This was mostly a humorous line that served to make sure at least every main character had some limelight in the movie, even for how brief it was.
