Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Graf Zeppelin

A LZ-127 Graf Zeppelin was 776 ft by 100 ft with a maximum speed of 80 mph. It contained five 550hp Maybach engines and had a gas volume of 3,700,000 cubic feet. A real one, not Lowell's of course.

2. Lowell told Joe it took him 2 hours every day for six years to handcraft this functioning model replica that included this functioning feature.

Answer: toilets

Lowell said that even the toilets worked, except for the one in the forward compartment so he put a little sign on the door. He also told Joe not to be alarmed if he heard music; it was just the orchestra playing in the ballroom.

Answer: Blimp killer

"Blimp killer! Blimp killer!" Joe felt terrible and told Lowell he would do anything to make it up to him. He said he would give him everything in his wallet. Lowell cried, "85 dollars? My life is worth 85 dollars?" Roy told Joe he better kick in another ten.

4. Roy was under pressure from authorities and Helen to hire what kind of person as a pilot?

Answer: a female

Roy, the consummate chauvinist, vowed that he would never let a "skirt" fly one of his planes.

5. When Roy hired his new pilot was it a man or a woman?

Answer: man

It was obviously a man, but Roy played enough head games with Helen that he had her questioning that fact.

6. Fay was upset that she had lost the Senior Tennis Championship. How many consecutive years had she won?

Answer: 5

Fay bragged that one year she defeated her opponent who had cataracts by hitting to her left and keeping her running all day.

Answer: Princeton

He didn't make the team because he was blamed for the incident involving Ben-gay in the coach's jock strap.

8. How bad did Fay beat Brian in their first match?

Answer: 6-0, 6-0

Brian said he let her win to make her feel better, but Fay began to give him playing tips, which didn't sit well with Brian.

9. Who tipped off the press and had an article about the match printed in the local paper furthering Brian's humiliation?

Answer: Roy

The article so infuriated Brian that he challenged Fay to a rematch. "I want you Fay!" Brian yelled in front of amused passengers in the terminal. "On the courts." he sarcastically added.

10. In Fay and Brian's rematch, what did Brian do when he realized Fay was actually beating him?

Answer: He faked an ankle injury.

He couldn't believe he was getting beat by Fay so he faked an ankle injury to save face.
