Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was Henry Weems playing with the mobsters?

Answer: poker

Weems asked for five new cards, though he had three tens. The other players seemed incredulous, but he ended up winning with a straight flush, which he attributed to "beginner's luck".

2. How much money did Weems say he needed?

Answer: $100,000

When Cutrona raised the pot, Weems resisted, saying that was more than he needed. Then when picking up his chips, he commented that there was over $100,000, which was all he needed.

3. When Mulder suggested the man they were looking for might have rapid tissue regeneration, who did Scully say they were looking for?

Answer: Wile E. Coyote

Mulder looked like he thought Scully had summed things up perfectly!

4. What fell out of the laundry basket?

Answer: glass eye

Scully and Mulder took that evidence and found Weems, the only Chicago resident who had looked into getting a new eye the next morning.

5. What was Weems' apartment number?

Answer: 313

Mulder pushed the button as they stood outside the building. After a few tries, Scully joked, "Maybe he can't see his way to the door." Mulder laughed and looked proud that his sense of humor was rubbing off on her.

6. What did Mulder refer to Weems as when offering him what he had left behind in the laundry basket after his fall?

Answer: Cinderella

Calling him Cinderella, Mulder handed Weems the glass eye, suggesting that if it fit they would have found their man. Weems then popped the eye into the socket in front of the agents. Mulder grimaced with a fabulous combination of disgust and amusement.

7. The mob goon sent to Weems' apartment was found hanging from what?

Answer: ceiling fan

Mulder dryly asked the crime scene photographer, "Get many of these?" The man's shoelace was caught in the fan, but Mulder hypothesized that he'd died of a heart attack and gotten caught through a freakish series of causes and effects.

8. What did Richie say his favorite sport was?

Answer: baseball

He said it used to be basketball, but now that the Bulls suck, he preferred baseball. Scully concurred that she also liked baseball.

9. What kind of crash marked the beginning of Weems' luck?

Answer: plane

The plane crashed into water and Weems was the only survivor. It was flight 7 and he was in seat 13.

10. What happened to the man who took Weems' discarded lottery ticket?

Answer: hit by truck

Weems warned him not to take the ticket, else something bad would happen. He took it anyway and was hit by a truck outside the store.

11. The mob goon who shot at Weems and was hit by his own bullet died.

Answer: False

He was taken to the hospital, where Cutrona visited him with flowers. The bullet had bounced off the knife Weems had in his pocket before ricocheting around the room and eventually hitting the man who'd shot the gun.

12. What did Weems need the money for?

Answer: Richie

He was sick and his best chance at that point was a treatment program in England, but it cost $100,000 to get in.

13. What did Cutrona's big body man call Weems?

Answer: impervious

He was defending himself, saying that Weems should have died after being hit by the truck but maybe he had some special ability, like being impervious (to harm) or something.

14. In the hospital, Mulder picked up a yellow pages and blindly pointed to a random page to look for Maggie. What did he point to?

Answer: day care

He wrote that off as a "dry run" and tried again, that time landing on an ad for a linen service. That sent him back to the basement of Cutrona's building where he found Weems and Maggie, alive and well after surviving the lucky freak chain reaction that killed Cutrona and his body man.

15. Who donated the organ to Richie?

Answer: Cutrona

He was wearing a medical bracelet and turned out to be the against-all-odds match who saved Richie's life.
