Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the number? The Baudelaires are living at _______ Dark Avenue.

Answer: 667

In the building of 667 dark avenue there are believed to be 48 or 84 floors, but there are actually 66 floors. The 48 or 84 floors is because George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948

2. What is Esm� Squalor obsessed with?

Answer: Things that are "in".

Esm� Squalor is obsessed with being "in". She insists on buying yellow paper clips, parsley soda and all sorts of ridiculous things, just because they are "in".

3. What is wrong with the penthouse?

Answer: All of these

The correct answer is 'All of these' because tools, normal books and hard toys aren't "in".

4. What element does Lemony Snicket say is not in the periodic table of elements?

Answer: Surprise

Count Olaf used the 'element of surprise' to his advantage. None of these are in the table of elements because they aren't atoms.

5. What is the theme of Caf� Salmonella?

Answer: Salmon

The Caf� Salmonella is an "in" restaurant which is why Esm� booked a table even though she wasn't going.

6. What did the Baudelaires make a trail of through the penthouse?

Answer: Bread crumbs

The Baudelaires leave a trail of breadcrumbs so that they can tell which rooms they have searched.

7. Why won't Esme carry the crates of parsley soda?

Answer: Long fingernails are "in"

Esm� bought parsley soda because it was "in" (why else?), as opposed to Aqueous Martinis which were now "out".

8. Who is at the bottom of the elevator shaft?

Answer: Duncan and Isadora Quagmire

Since Count Olaf kidnapped them at the end of "The Austere Academy" it is likely that they will find the Quagmire triplets. They find Duncan and Isadora Quagmire, who almost get to tell them the secret of V.F.D.

9. What lot number is V.F.D.?

Answer: # 50

These lot numbers are those of the "in" auction. The Baudelaires think the Quagmires are hidden in V.F.D.- Lot #50 but they are actually hidden in The Red Herring- Lot #48.

10. Who pushes the Baudelaires down the Elevator?

Answer: Esme Squalor

If you thought all there was to Esm� Gigi Genvieve Squalor was "in", you were very correct since she had been conspiring with Count Olaf because fortunes are "in"!

11. What is at the end of the secret passage?

Answer: The ruins of the Baudelaire mansion

The secret passageway led to the ruins of the Baudelaire mansion- it was only a couple of blocks away. This tells the Baudelaires that there was some huge connection with their house and 667 Dark Avenue!

12. True or False? Mr Poe was bidding for V.F.D.?

Answer: False

Mr Poe wanted ocean decorations for his house so he bid for the statue of the red herring.

13. What were Duncan and Isadora really hidden in?

Answer: The red herring statue

The chocolate ballet slippers and the stamp collection were too small. The giant globe was just mentioned as big enough. And so it leaves us with the red herring statue

14. What is the clue about the next book in the last picture?

Answer: A crow

The flight path of the crows in the next book caused the Baudelaires a lot of trouble.

15. What is wrong with the note?

Answer: It is soaking wet

The note is soaking wet because Lemony Snicket is writing from where the Quagmires were hidden. This place is revealed in "The Vile Village"- the book my next quiz is on.
