Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the pen name of the authors of "The Hardy Boys" series?

Answer: Franklin W. Dixon

Carolyn Keene was the author of girl detective "Nancy Drew", Laura Lee Hope was the author of the "Bobsey Twins" books and R. L. Stine is the author of the Goosebumps series.
2. What is the name of the always-hungry best friend of the Hardy's?

Answer: Chet Morton

Chet Morton lived on a farm with his mom, dad and sister Iola. He named his broken-down jalopy Queen.
3. What is Frank and Joe's father's name?

Answer: Fenton

Fenton Hardy was the top detective on the New York Police force until he decided to go into business for himself. I assume the pay was better but he never seemed to be home.
4. What relative came to live with the Hardys and was highly noted for her cooking, especially her pies?

Answer: Aunt Gertrude

Aunt Gertrude was introduced in "Hardy Boys" #10 - "What Happened At Midnight". Even though her tirades against the dangers of being a sleuth were toned down in later books she remains one of my favorite characters.
5. What was the name of the speedboat that Frank and Joe owned?

Answer: Sleuth

The Sleuth often came in handy since the "Hardy Boys" lived in a small town three miles inland from Barmet Bay on the Atlantic ocean.
6. What is the name of the town that the "Hardy Boys" live in?

Answer: Bayport

The Hardys live in Bayport, a small but thriving city of 50,000 inhabitants located on Barmet Bay, a horseshoe-shaped inlet three miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean. Although we're never told exactly where Bayport is I assume it's a small town in New York State, probably north of NYC.
7. Who's older, Frank or Joe?

Answer: Frank

Frank is 18 years old with dark hair while Joe is 17 and fair-haired.
8. Who was the pilot for Fenton Hardy's private airplane?

Answer: Jack Wayne

Jack Wayne was the only pilot until Frank and Joe both got their pilots license. Is there anything these two can't do??
9. What is the name of Frank's "steady girl"?

Answer: Callie Shaw

Callie Shaw and Iola Morton were never referred to as Frank and Joe's girlfriends, only as a "favorite date" or "special friend".
10. Who is Joe's "favorite date"?

Answer: Iola Morton

Iola is Chet Morton's sister.
