Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What were the second most intelligent creatures on Earth?

Answer: Dolphins

According to the narrator, dolphins had long known the impending destruction of Earth and had left before the end of the planet. Unfortunately, humans had misinterpreted the dolphin language as loud chirps and funny tricks. Their last message to us was "so long, and thanks for all the fish".
2. What star is near Ford's home planet?

Answer: Betelgeuse

Prior to the events that occurred in the beginning of the episode, Arthur Dent had no idea that his friend Ford was an alien. When Arthur realizes that his house is going to be demolished, he tries to prevent it from being flattened, and Ford comes along with beer to distract the demolition crew. He takes Arthur to a pub and tells him the whole story.
3. What colour is the Babel Fish?

Answer: Yellow

According to the Hitchhiker's Guide, the Babel Fish is "small, yellow, and leech-like. It feeds on brainwave energy, absorbing unconscious frequencies and excreting a wave of conscious frequencies to the speech centers of the brain." Basically, when you stick a Babel Fish into your ear, you can understand any language in the universe.
4. After being picked up and ejected into space by a Vogon ship, Arthur and Ford get picked up by The Heart of Gold. What do they transform into because of the Infinite Improbability Drive?

Answer: Sofas

The chances of being picked up by another ship while floating in outer space are 2 to the power of 2079460347:1. Luckily, Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect were picked up right on time, and they were escorted to the bridge where they saw some familiar faces.
5. What is the name of the robot on The Heart of Gold?

Answer: Marvin

Oddly, Marvin is extremely depressed throughout the whole movie. Since he was built by Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, he was the prototype for the Genuine People Personalities Chip. Throughout the movie, he always shares his grim outlook with the main characters and he's responsible for saving everyone in the end.
6. What is the name of the computer on The Heart of Gold?

Answer: Eddie

Unlike Marvin, Eddie is extremely cheerful and optimistic even in the worst of times. All of the doors on the ship are programmed to sigh when they open and close to make a happier, more friendly atmosphere.
7. According to Deep Thought, what is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything?

Answer: 42

The people of the universe were eager to hear Deep Thought's answer, but were shocked to find that it seemed to be meaningless. Deep Thought said that a giant computer was being programmed to give a question for the answer, but it was unexpectedly blown up to make way for an interplanetary highway.
8. What is the name of the Vogon home planet?

Answer: Vogsphere

After landing on a planet, Trillian is captured by the Vogons and the guys on The Heart of Gold decide to save her before she suffers a horrible, painful death on Vogsphere. When they arrive, they have to sign complicated forms before she can be released, and luckily, they free her on time.
9. Who does not enter the portal on Magrathea?

Answer: Arthur

Although Arthur was going to enter the portal, it closed when he attempted to jump into it. While the others are talking to Deep Thought, Arthur meets Slartibartfast, who shows him that Earth was created by the Magratheans.
10. The smartest creatures on Earth were mice.

Answer: True

Although many humans were experimenting on mice, the mice were said to have actually been experimenting on humans the whole time. The mice which snuck onto The Heart of Gold crashed the ship onto Magrathea in order to get Arthur's brain for Earth 2. He manages to squash the mice and escape a Vogon attack before everyone decides to head to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.
