Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the first thing Mark Darcy says to Bridget at the New Year's Day Turkey Curry Buffet?

Answer: "I. Um. Are you reading, ah...Have you read any good books lately?"

Bridget actually asks Mark if he is staying with his parents over the holidays in an attempt to steer the conversation away from reading materials.

2. What makes Bridget abruptly leave her first date with Daniel Cleaver?

Answer: He tells her he doesn't think they should get involved, it is just a bit of fun as he unzips her skirt.

Daniel does make fun of the university Bridget attended, Bangor University, later in the book.

3. What do Bridget and her friends call married couples who seem to think that they're better than single people?

Answer: Smug Marrieds

Bridget wonders if the Smug Marrieds forgot how to socialize with single people or if they "really do want to patronize us and make us feel like failed human beings."

4. Which of Bridget's friends is very into self-help books?

Answer: Jude

Jude reads all kinds of self-help subjects, from love advice like "Men Are from Mars, Women Are From Venus" to Feng Shui. Bridget also embraces self-help topics.

5. What does Bridget do to celebrate her birthday?

Answer: Goes out to dinner with her friends

Bridget originally intends to make dinner but is running late, steps into the mashed potatoes, and forgets some of her groceries at the store. Luckily her friends rescue her by cleaning up the kitchen and booking a table at a restaurant because they have an "almost spooky sixth sense" that the dinner at her place might not work out.

6. What happens when Bridget finally reaches her long-time goal of dieting down to 119 pounds?

Answer: Her friends tell her she looked better before

Her friends tell her she looks tired and drawn at a party she goes to wearing a tight black dress. No one tells her she looks good; they seem instead to be worried about her health. Bridget laments that the last eighteen years she spent obsessing about her weight were wasted.

7. Why didn't Bridget and Mark go on their first date as planned?

Answer: Bridget was blow drying her hair and didn't hear the doorbell.

Bridget runs into Mark in a store after the date when they figure out that her hair dryer was too loud. He laughs about it and arranges for her to get an exclusive interview with his client.

8. Who does Tom go as, for the Alternative Miss World contest?

Answer: Miss Global Warming

The contestant who dresses up as Joan of Arc actually wins the contest. Tom is so humiliated by the whole affair that he gets a nose job without telling any of his friends and causes a great deal of panic among them.

9. How does Bridget's dinner party for Mark Darcy, at which she serves blue soup, an omelette and marmalade, end?

Answer: Bridget's father calls to say that her mother and her mother's boyfriend are wanted by the police

It turns out that Bridget's mother's boyfriend has defrauded a number of people, including Mark Darcy's parents, out of a great deal of money in a bogus time-share scheme. Mark and Bridget immediately drive out to Una and Geoffrey's (of Turkey Curry Buffet fame) where Mark gets to business making phone calls while Bridget reflects that the gathering is a not entirely unwelcome suspension of the normal order of things, rather like Christmas or the time her grandmother went crazy and ran naked through the neighbor's orchard.

10. Why doesn't Bridget receive an invite to Rebecca's Christmas party?

Answer: Bridget's neighbor put the invite, along with the rest of her mail, under her door without telling her, where it got hidden under her doormat

Dan the Australian tells Bridget he has been putting her mail under the door so she won't get cold in the mornings getting the mail in her nightie. After she finds out she races to pull back her doormat and "there, nestling underneath like a Christmas miracle, was a little pile of cards, letters and invitations all addressed to me. Me. Me. Me."
