Jack will later assume the Dragoon's identity so he can fight for truth, justice, and Nielsen ratings.

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: Behind the fireplace

Through an ingenious system of mirrors and candles, the fireplace appears to be in use, discouraging people from wandering through it.

6. What is the name of the island that most of the series is set on?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: Pulau Pulau

Although the island itself is fictional, the name is derived from another east Indian island that of Palau. Palau is most famous for being the site of season 10 of "Survivor".

7. Jack is next introduced to Governor Croque, the French administrator of the island. The Governor is admiring a portrait of himself and his brother. Who is this historical figure that (in the series) is the Governor's brother?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: Napoleon Bonaparte

Later in the series, Napoleon is played by Verne Troyer, who is perhaps best known as "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers movies.

8. While Jack and Emilia are chatting with the Governor, the Captain of the Guard enters the room. What is this French soldier's name?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: Brogard

Brogard's name is not actually mentioned in the pilot episode (though Jack does call him "Richelieu" at one point). It is given in the end credits, though.

9. During the first episode, Jack adopts the alter ego of the masked Daring Dragoon for the first time. What was his inspiration for the disguise?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: a doll

He is caught searching the governors office and needs a quick disguise. His make shift costume involves curtains for a cape and he makes his mask from his partner Emilia's undergarments.

10. At this point, Jack excuses himself so he can snoop around the Governor's mansion and find some secret papers. What excuse does he use?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: He has to go to the bathroom.

The following dialogue exchange takes place between Jack and Croque: Jack: Where do you keep your porcelain throne around here? Croque: This mansion has a hundred bathrooms, Monsieur Stiles. Jack: Hehehe... you must get a lot of reading done.

11. Which "Austin Powers" cast member was a regular guest star on the show?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: Verne Troyer

He famously played Mini-Me in the "Austin Powers" trilogy. On the show, he played the brother of Gov. Croque, Napoleon Bonaparte. He had the most recurrences of any guest star with 4 total.

12. Jack then sneaks into Croque's study and searches the desk. What distracts him from his mission?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: A deck of cards with naughty pictures

He also swipes a cigar from the Governor's humidor while he's there. He doesn't find the papers he was looking for, though.

13. Over what did Russia nearly go to war with Pulau Pulau?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: A horse

This was one of the shows raciest episodes with numerous references to Katherine's supposed sexual peccadilloes. These included a silhouette of her and a horse in a seemingly compromising situation.

14. Emilia finds Jack just moments before the Captain and his men do. How does Jack manage to avoid capture?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: He disguises himself with drapes and Emilia's undergarments.

With a mask cut from the undergarments and one of the drapes as a cape, Jack pretends to hold Emilia hostage at swordpoint... and the Daring Dragoon lives again!

15. When Mad King George came to the island, what secret did Jack and Emilia discover about the ruler?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: He was sane

Just as he is about to board his ship to return home, he speaks in a clear and concise voice. He reveals that Napoleon will only attack when he can predict your moves so by being so unpredictable, Napoleon is unwilling to attack England.

16. Emilia is very upset at Jack for his actions, and relieves him of duty. She still has to get the papers though, which they figure must already be on a French ship. How does she get on board the ship?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: Using a diving helmet, she climbs on board from underneath.

I suspect that the almost-bikini Emilia wore while doing this was not the common swimming attire for proper English ladies of the early 19th century. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

17. When Governor Croque is sent to prison, due to the manipulations of his wife, what group does he encounter there that wants revenge on him for imprisoning them?

From Quiz You Don't Know Jack: "Jack of all Trades"

Answer: Circus troupe

He had the circus troupe imprisoned because he felt their act was subversive and made fun of the elite. During his time in jail he repents but quickly reverts back to his old ways as soon as he is set free.

18. Emilia switches the papers and a disguised Jack swings into action to cause a distraction so she can escape (which ends up cementing their friendship and earning Jack his job back). Where do the orders Emilia planted send the ship?

From Quiz "Jack of All Trades" (Pilot Episode)

Answer: The South Pole

The ship, and the soldiers on board, will be spending a six-month cruise before reaching port "somewhere off the South Pole". I hope they packed their long underwear!
