Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The show is started off with a very scientific conversation. Which of these statements is not true according to the discussion: If a photon is directed through a plane with two slits in it...?

Answer: And the second slit is observed, it will not go through the first slit.

Yes, the correct answer was something I just made up. And I agree with Sheldon, it would make a good idea for a T-Shirt.

Answer: Flash

The Flash was his choice this time. He probably likes the Flash as much as the other guys, which leads to a hilarious scene in the later episode 'The Middle Earth Paradigm'.

Answer: Hi

They say "Hi" six times at first and then another five times when the guys go back to Penny's to invite her over. It is also noteworthy that they repeat "Great" and "Bye" a fair few times as well.

Answer: Differentials

Differentials is something that was on Leonard's board. Sheldon is a little smarter than Leonard, and here we see that he never lets Leonard forget it.

5. What state is Penny from?

Answer: Nebraska

Penny is from the "country" in Nebraska, and she moved to California to pursue acting.

6. All four men are fans of the 'Star Wars' series, but Leonard has 'Star Wars' shampoo and conditioner! Which characters are on the bottles?

Answer: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader

According to Leonard, 'It's Darth Vader shampoo. Luke Skywalker is the conditioner.'

Answer: 1974

Apparently this lecture was at MIT 'before he became a freaky computer voice'.

Answer: 173

Because they have a combined IQ of 360, that would make Leonard have 173, which is still very high.

9. What may be an easy one that you should remember from when Howard was playing an online game. What is his tiger's name?

Answer: Buttons

That cat must have nine lives, he has been around since level 10!

10. Leonard and Penny will hook up one day. What won't their babies be, as said by Leonard and Sheldon?

Answer: Sporty

Smart and beautiful were Leonard suggestions, while Sheldon ruined the moment with imaginary.
