Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The apartment of Sheldon and Leonard has a flag with a gold lion rampant. What colour is the flag's background?

Answer: Azure

This is given to Leonard fairly early on in the series in a flashback and is put upside down when the apartment is in distress. It has happened once, when Leonard almost blows up the apartment, so Sheldon goes to the refrigerator and turns the flag upside down. There is also a pin/badge that goes along with the flag. Sheldon describes it as "a gold lion rampant on a field of azure".

2. Where does Penny do her one performance of 'Anne Frank'?

Answer: A room above a bowling alley

Penny had 99 tickets for this show and, on the phone to a friend, she offers her one ticket, then asks if she knows 98 other people! The play's director wants to use the sounds from the bowling alley, to represent the German Artillery.

3. When Sheldon and Amy break up, he gets a 'clowder' of cats. He names them after people in the Manhattan Project, except for one. What is the name of that cat?

Answer: Zazzles

Sheldon gets all these cats, not realising that they are a acting as a substitute for Amy. He tells Leonard, that one cat is called Zazzles, because he is Zazzy! It then takes a visit from Sheldon's mother to sort things out with him and Amy. Go Mrs Cooper!

4. The gang try to teach Sheldon to drive, using a computer programme that Howard has gotten hold of. When the programme starts, where does Sheldon say he is in an armoured Humvee?

Answer: Downtown Fallujah

Not one of Sheldon's greatest moments! Somehow, he ends up on the second floor of the Galleria, eventually giving up and allowing the car to crash into the pet store. One of the funnier moments is when Penny hits Sheldon in the face to simulate a rear end crash and the air bag going off!

5. Howard had a crush on a girl in 9th grade, that he wrote a song for. Who was she?

Answer: Marcy Grossmann

Marcy had a 'cute little overbite' once her braces had been removed, and, after Howard sang the song to her, she walked over and spat in his hair. Charming! The song, by the way, was just like 'My Girl' by The Temptations, with words by Howard.

6. Dr. David Underhill comes to work with Leonard at the University. He is also a keen sportsman. What, apart from being a motorcycle rider, is he?

Answer: Black diamond skier

David, or Dave, makes a big made a big impression on Penny. He skis, rides a motorbike and is a physicist too. Unfortunately, he is also married!

Answer: 294

Sheldon is incandescent with rage, even though he does not drive, nor have a car! It is a constant tit for tat between them.

Answer: Wanted Dead Or Alive

Amy is playing beautifully on her harp, and is singing quite happily when it gets to the part for Sheldon to join in by singing the words, "Dead or alive". There is silence. A lovely moment ruined by Sheldon, yet again!

9. How many brothers and sisters does Bernadette have?

Answer: 5

The only brother mentioned by name up to season seven is Joey. There are four other unnamed siblings in her family. When Bernadette is on the scavenger hunt with Leonard, she tells him that the reason she is so competitive is that she had five brothers and sisters and had to fight for everything.

10. Why does Raj rant in anger about his parents to Howard and Bernadette during dinner, after his parents had bought him a new BMW for his birthday?

Answer: They refused to buy him seat warmers

Raj is at Howard and Bernadette's for dinner, and getting more and more drunk, when he starts to rant about his parents, as they would not get him the seat warmers for his new BMW, making Howard and Bernadette uncomfortable.

11. Sheldon's sister Missy had a guinea pig as a child, that Sheldon incinerated in his homemade CAT scanner! What was its name?

Answer: Snowball

Sheldon talks to Dr Stephanie Barnett in the apartment, where she is supposed to be on a date with Leonard. The conversation gets round to him telling her that he built his own CAT scanner as a child, and that he was briefly able to see the inside of his sister's guinea pig, Snowball, before it caught fire.

This led to an expression in the Cooper household, "Not a Snowball's chance in a CAT scanner!"

Answer: It will blow up

Zack is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he has a heart of gold. He makes a few other appearance, once dressed as Superman. The laser is bounced of a reflector left on the moon by Apollo 11, thus showing that there are man-made objects on the lunar surface.

Answer: The Disappointing Child

This book was written by Leonard's mother, Dr Beverly Hofstadter and contains all of his childhood experiences, much to Leonard's dismay and embarrassment. This includes information about his potty training, breast feeding and having a tight grip on the 'family jewels' for most of the time!

14. Sheldon helps Penny make her 'Penny Blossoms'. What sea shanty do they sing to help the process move along?

Answer: Blow The Man Down

Penny asks Sheldon to help her maximise her process in making her Penny Blossoms. When the rest of their friends leave Leonard and Sheldon's apartment, they hear singing coming from Penny's apartment. When they open the door, Sheldon and Penny are in full voice singing 'Blow The Man Down'. Sea shanties were used by sailors on the ships of old, to help them work together in unison, and were therefore classed as work songs.

15. When Howard is asked if he has met Bernadette's parents yet, he replies, "Oh, you mean______?" What does he call them?

Answer: Adolf and Eva

In a later episode it is revealed that Bernadette's father is called Mike, but her mother's first name is not revealed in the first seven season. She is just Mrs Rostenkowski.
