Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where is the opening scene?

Answer: Central Park Lake

We see Hermes throwing a frisbee to Dr. Zoidberg who eats it and Fry bragging that he mastered the swan boats (which are actually real swans),"That explains these boat eggs."
They later go to Madison Cube Garden for the basketball game, Planet Express Headquarters is probably the most common place in "Futurama" and Robot Arms Apts is where Bender and Fry live.

2. What is Ethan Tate's (commander of the Harlem Globetrotters) nickname?

Answer: Bubblegum

For "no reason" Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate challenges Earth to a basketball game.
Soilent green and Slurm are a food and drink which feature prominently in "Futurama".

3. Who takes up the Globetrotter's challenge of a basketball game?

Answer: Professor Farnsworth

Professor Farnsworth takes up the challenge of the Globetrotters with his "team of mutant atomic supermen."

4. At first, what does Amy think is causing the time skips?

Answer: Her outfit

Amy is wearing a tight outfit which is a bit showy. Professor Farnsworth realises that it must be the Chronitons. Amy thinks a kind of hair spray is the solution to a problem in a different episode ("The Farnsworth Parabox"). The guy next to Amy seems to be there for no apparent reason.

5. Tate is the senior lecturer of which subject at Globetrotter U?

Answer: Physics

"Bubblegum" Tate realises the danger they are in straight away, "This chronological wang-dang-doodle could destroy the very matrix of reality."

6. Hermes' plan to solve the time skipping is a limbo contest.

Answer: False

Hermes' plan is actually a naked congo line with him playing a steel drum. He doesn't know how it was meant to work.

7. How much money does the gravity pump cost?

Answer: All of Earth's

Professor Farnsworth and "Bubblegum" Tate's gravity pump costs all of Earth's money. They time skip to Nixon's office with a check for the money, then time skips to when they have built it, then time skip again to the crew leaving. This solves the money, building and transport problems, convenient, isn't it.

8. After the divorce Fry gets to keep the NFC helmet plates.

Answer: False

Leela keeps the NFC helmet plates, Fry gets the AFC ones. This question is a bit harder to remember but there is a fifty-fifty chance, so I thought it was ok.

9. Is Bender funky enough to be a Globetrotter?

Answer: No

Despite Bender trying so hard to become a Globetrotter he just isn't funky enough to be one. Poor Bender starts crying.

10. How does Leela reply to Bender saying; "What does it matter? I'll never be a Globetrotter. My life, and, by extension, everyone else's, is meaningless."

Answer: Roger

Bender is still upset at not being a Globetrotter and finally realises he will never be one. It doesn't stop him from whistling their tune though.
Hope you enjoyed my quiz!
