Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. We know that Stephen King wrote this story, but this is one that he wrote under the name Richard Bachman.

Answer: True

Bachman is King's "alter ego". He has gone back and forth writing under these two names for many years.
2. What is the name of the main character in the story?

Answer: Raymond Davis Garraty

There is no way I could have endured the torture that he did! He had no doubt in his mind that he would win, even though he was terrified.
3. During the walk, Garraty kissed someone.

Answer: True

A pretty girl came out of the crowd that was watching the walkers, and gave him a kiss. He received a warning, but thought it was well worth it.
4. Who took Garraty to the starting point?

Answer: mother

She was absolutely devastated that he had entered the competition because she knew the stakes. He felt horrible at how he was making her feel, but his mind was made up to do this.
5. Who was the first person Garraty met before the walk started?

Answer: Peter McVries

He bonded with him, and they became very close friends until almost the end of the walk...!
6. What is "Hint 13"?

Answer: Conserve energy whenever possible.

Many involved in the walk did not heed this hint. Others developed their own "ideas" on how to manipulate this hint.
7. What number was Garraty?

Answer: 47

When "The Major" gave him this number, Garraty was in awe of the man! By the end of the race, Garraty could have easily killed him.
8. The "Major's" quote at the beginning of the walk was "Luck to all."

Answer: True

This was said with absolutely no emotion. They started walking, and within only a few minutes, one of the boys got their first "warning".
9. Curley was the first boy to be killed.

Answer: True

His last words were "It isn't fair! It just isn't fair!" The reason he got his warning was due to a horrible charlie horse in his leg, and he simply could not walk.
10. What does Garraty do after he wins the walk?

Answer: runs

I think it is quite apparent that he has lost his mind at that point! I think anyone would have after surviving all that he had. It is also possible that he dies at this point - King leaves it open to interpretation.
