Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What nickname did the children have for Mr. Goon?

Answer: Clear-Orf

Mr. Goon disliked the Five Find-Outers since they were better than him at solving mysteries. He told them to 'clear-orf' so often that they ended up calling him that.

2. Which of the children celebrated his or her birthday in this book?

Answer: Fatty

Fatty was upset that his birthday was soon after Christmas as most people ended up giving him just one present. He used the money he got to buy various disguises from London.

3. Which of the following did Fatty not teach the Find-Outers?

Answer: To make skeleton keys

Fatty reasoned that since he knew the most about such things and taught them to the others, he should be the head instead of Larry. Thus from this book onwards, Fatty became the head of the Find-Outers.

4. Who discovered the secret room?

Answer: Pip

Pip tried on one of Fatty's disguises but unfortunately Mr. Goon caught him. While trying to escape from Goon, he climbed up a tree in the garden of Milton House and found the secret room.

5. What game did the children pretend to play when Mr. Goon caught them in the garden of Milton House?

Answer: Hide and seek

The children had actually gone to Milton House to see the secret room that Pip had discovered but Goon happened to come along and caught them.

6. How many house agents did Fatty visit to try and find the owner of Milton House?

Answer: Two

At the first place Fatty goofed up by saying his aunt was willing to spend 500 pounds on a new house. He was sent away and he increased the amount to 5,000 pounds at the next agent.

7. What was the name of Miss Crump's dog?

Answer: Thomas

Buster got into a fight with Miss Crump's dog, giving the children a perfect opportunity for getting into her house and asking questions about Milton House.

8. Who had bought Milton House from Miss Crump?

Answer: John Henry Smith

Mr. Smith claimed to have lived in that house as a child and offered to pay Miss Crump one thousand pounds more than she had paid. He said the house held sentimental value for him.

9. What did the men force Fatty to sign his name as on the note he was made to write to the other Find-Outers?

Answer: Freddie

He hoped the others would realize that he had been caught on seeing that he had signed his name as Freddie. He usually signed it as Fatty.

10. What was the secret room used for?

Answer: A meeting place for an international gang of robbers.

This was a convenient meeting place for them as no one took much notice of Milton House. They also hid stolen artifacts and paintings there till the robberies were forgotten.
