Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the episode "This Place is Death," Daniel discovers that Charlotte is conversant in Korean. Daniel wants to know if Charlotte knows any other languages. How does Charlotte reply?

Answer: "Just Klingon."

Daniel is intrigued and asks Charlotte, "So... you speak any other languages?" Charlotte jokingly replies, "Just Klingon." This is a reference to the enormously popular "Star Trek" phenomenon, for which this artificial language was specifically created.
2. During season one, Christian Shephard has a chance encounter with Sawyer in a Sydney bar. Christian is bemoaning the vagaries of fate with Sawyer. To which baseball team does Christian make a reference?

Answer: Red Sox

Christian tells Sawyer, "You are here, too. You are suffering. But, don't beat yourself up about it. It's fate. Some people are just supposed to suffer." Christian underscores his point by exclaiming that the Red Sox will never win the series. Jack repeats the phrase in front of Sawyer, and Sawyer then realizes that he had been speaking to Jack's father in Sydney.
3. John Locke makes a direct reference to one of the most popular films of all-time, in the episode entitled: "The Man Behind the Curtain." Which film is it?

Answer: "The Wizard of Oz"

John is angry with Ben for not taking him to see Jacob. Ben maintains that Jacob only talks to him. In frustration, he tells Ben, "How convenient. You know what I think, Ben? I think there is no Jacob. I think your people are idiots if they believe you take orders from someone else. You are the man behind the curtain, the Wizard of Oz. And you're a liar."
4. The episode "Meet Kevin Johnson," is largely about Michael and his efforts to confront his inner-turmoil. Having failed to detonate the bomb aboard the freighter, Michael can be seen throwing a tennis ball against the cabin wall in frustration. Minkowski, observing this behavior, says, "What, are you going Nicholson on us?" To which film is Minkowski referring?

Answer: "The Shining"

Michael doesn't get the reference. Minkowski explains, "You know, Jack Nicholson in "The Shining," when he's bouncing that ball against the wall? Next thing you know, you're gonna go after your wife with an ax."
5. In the first season, Sawyer is complaining of frequent headaches and blurry vision. Jack manages to fabricate several pairs of glasses from their limited resources. The only satisfactory pair happens to be somewhat unattractive. Who does Hurley think that Sawyer resembles?

Answer: Harry Potter

After Sawyer tries on the misshaped glasses, Hurley notes, "Dude, it looks like someone steam rolled Harry Potter." This is an obvious reference to the fabulously popular series authored by J.K. Rowling.
6. In the finale of season five, Radzinsky is drilling at the Swan site. Dr. Chang arrives and shuts down the drill. Radzinsky is incensed. Dr. Chang is worried about the possible consequences of continued drilling. In his reply, to whom does Radzinsky refer?

Answer: Edison

Radzinsky emotionally states that he has been fervently working on this project for six years. Dr. Chang objects, "Have you thought about the consequences of drilling into that pocket?" Radzinsky says, "If Edison was only worried about the consequences, we'd all still be sitting in the dark. I came to this Island to change the world, Pierre; that's exactly what I intend to do."
7. Sawyer, always the wellspring of clever nicknames, has called the other characters names such as, "Chewie," "Yoda," and "Jabba." From which spectacular film series do these names come?

Answer: "Star Wars"

Sawyer has called Jin, "Chewie" several times. "Chewie" refers to the friendly Wookiee named Chewbacca as featured in the "Star Wars" series. Sawyer also gave Ben the nickname of "Yoda," and "Jabba" was reserved for Hurley.
8. Sawyer and Juliet have committed to leaving the island and returning to civilization prior to their original time in life. Sawyer is making plans. Sawyer says that he will invest in Microsoft. Sawyer also mentions which American football team?

Answer: Dallas Cowboys

Already knowing the outcome of various events before they happen, Sawyer plans to use this knowledge to make money. Sawyer tells Juliet, "Then we'll bet the Cowboys in the '78 Super Bowl. We're gonna be rich."
9. Rose is vitally concerned with Bernard's safety as preparations are made to defend their camp from the Others. From which of the following films does Rose cite a character?

Answer: "Rambo"

Bernard has volunteered to take a position with a gun, in order to detonate the bombs in the tent from a distance. Rose tries to discourage Bernard from participating. She says, "If I told you that I'd help you with your SOS sign, would you change your mind?" Bernard is not deterred. Rose gives in, but she insists that Bernard repeat, "I am a dentist. I am not Rambo."
10. Sawyer has been absent from the camp for a while in the episode, "Enter 77." His stash of possessions has been reclaimed by the other survivors. In an effort to regain his possessions, Sawyer proposes a table tennis game. Jin and Sun are talking to each other. How does Sawyer address them?

Answer: Crouching tiger and hidden dragon

The award winning film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" achieved significant success as a foreign language film in the U.S.
