Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who thinks 'The Souls' should be called 'The Sillington Souls'?

Answer: Noah

Julian, Nadia, Ethan and Noah have started to have tea together every Saturday quite regularly at this point in the book. They have a kind of contest to see who can peel off the longest strip of wallpaper in Sillington House. Nadia then gets to choose the name of their group, 'The Souls.' Noah thinks it should be 'The Sillington Souls', but Nadia counters by saying 'Less is more'.
2. Who is a passenger on the spaceship Earth?

Answer: Julian

Ham Knapp, who seems to think it is his duty to make Julian as miserable as possible, wrote 'I am a ass' on his leather bookbag with an indelible marker. Julian then changes this to read 'I am a passenger on the spaceship Earth', using the letters Ham wrote.
3. How many pumpkins did Ethan sell Mr. Singh?

Answer: Four

Ethan and his family have a farm. They also have a stall at the Farmers' Market, and Ethan sells the Singhs four pumpkins for ten dollars. Inside the ten dollar bill is part of an invitation to tea at Sillington House.
4. During the first turtle walk Nadia did on her vacation to her father's, how many empty shells were there?

Answer: 96

Margaret, Nadia's grandfather, Nadia, her father, and Nadia's dog, Ginger, all go on 'turtle walks' in Florida to help baby turtles to the sea. On Nadia's first turtle walk in this book, there were 96 empty shells in the nest.
5. Which of the following places was NOT part of a four-part question answered by Ethan in the Academic Bowl contest?

Answer: Epiphany

Each of these places (Auburn is the fourth) has something about famous women in it. Ethan knows because he had ancestors in the state of New York who were part of most of these places.
