Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Michael Scott tells the film crew that he has been at Dunder Mifflin for how many years during his introduction to the series?

Answer: 12 years

Michael Scott was played by Steve Carell. During the opening few minutes of the pilot Michael walks the documentary crew (who remain unseen) through the offices while he introduces himself and several of the key staff members of the Dunder Mifflin paper company.
2. When meeting the temporary employee in the pilot, Michael Scott impersonates which of the Three Stooges?

Answer: Moe

Michael also impersonates Hitler during the scene.

The temp's last name is Howard, which causes Michael to mention the Stooges and break out into his impersonation.
3. During the second episode, the Dunder Mifflin team was forced to go through what type of specialty training?

Answer: Diversity Training

The entire episode centered around a scheduled 1-hour diversity in the workplace training session.

The training was brought about because Michael had mimicked a Chris Rock routine in the office and several employees complained to corporate about it.
4. In the third episode, Michael was supposed to pick a new healthcare plan for the office. Instead he had a member of the sales team work on making the decision. Who sent the memo to the staff with a plan they all hate?

Answer: Dwight

The plan cut almost all of the health care offered. It had no dental, no vision and a $1,200 deductible.

While Dwight was upsetting the staff with the healthcare choices Michael was working hard to avoid the rest of the staff.

In the end the Dwight's initial plan was scrapped, and the employees ended up with a reduced, but acceptable healthcare plan.
5. Michael promised everyone a "big surprise" at the end of the day during the third episode. He returned to the office with ice cream sandwiches late in the day. Was this the "surprise" he intended?

Answer: no

Michael had no surprise in mind when he promised the staff to give them one. When he got to the office with ice cream sandwiches one of the staffers told him that they'd been having a really bad day and asked if that was the surprise he'd promised.

Michael said it was surprising, but "THE surprise."

His big surprise ended up being nothing. Michael blanked and stood there as the staff left the office one by one.
6. Despite it being more than a month away, which office worker did Michael throw a birthday party for in episode four?

Answer: Meredith

The downsizing bug once again spread through the office as the staff worried if each of them would be on the chopping block in the fourth episode of the season.

Michael thought the party would raise moral while employee's worried about the pending layoffs.
7. Dwight and Jim form an alliance to work together during an episode. Which reality TV series, that also has alliances, were they mimicking?

Answer: Survivor

While alliances are also a big part of "Big Brother", Jim specifically mentions it's like "Survivor" when joking to Pam about how Dwight asked him to form an alliance.

Jim only played along with the alliance in order to make fun of Dwight.
8. What sport was Michael trying to put together an office team to play in the fifth episode of the season?

Answer: Basketball

Michael saw courts down at the local park and decided that it would be "fun" to put together an office team.

The office staff played against the warehouse staff in a game.

Jim, Ryan, Dwight, Stan and Michael were the starting five for the office team.
9. What nickname is Darrell Philbin frequently called by Michael?

Answer: Mr. Rogers

Darrell (played by Craig Robinson) works in the warehouse during the first season.

Michael came up with the nickname by taking Philbin, relating it to Regis Philbin, and then mispronouncing Regis as Roge, and eventually landing on Mr. Rogers.

Darrell is annoyed by the nickname.
10. In the season finale who won the prize as the top sales person?

Answer: No one

Michael was given the duty of picking both the winner and the prize. Corporate have him a $1,000 limit on the prize selection.

Instead of picking a winner for the sales competition, Michael spent the money on an espresso machine to try to impress Katy, a traveling purse saleswoman.

With no prize to give away, no winner of the contest was ever declared.
