Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the movie, what is the name of the college that Lewis and Gilbert have chosen to attend?

Answer: Adams College

Yes, it was Adams College..."Home of the Atoms."
2. Which University did the shooting of the film actually occur at?

Answer: University of Arizona

Yep, it was the University of Arizona, however, after giving its permission for the film to be made there, the university changed its mind and revoked the offer claiming the script was "too bawdy." Thankfully the University again changed its mind and allowed the film to be made there. And what a gem of a film it is!
3. When calculating their ETA for Adams College, Louis refers to "ARVs." What, according to Louis, does "ARV" stand for?

Answer: Average Restroom Visit

One can never overestimate the importance of an average restroom visit when calculating the all important ETA on a long trip in the car.
4. Louis and Gilbert spend their freshman year living in the freshman dorm.

Answer: False

Nope! Those careless Alpha Betas burn down their own house during a party and blame it on faulty wiring. With the help of Coach Harris (John Goodman), they rudely throw the freshman and their belongings OUT! So they had to live in the gym until they could find other housing.
5. A cheerleader, also a Pi Delta Pi sister, Betty Childs, convinces Louis and Gilbert to pledge a fraternity. Which one does she recommend?

Answer: Alpha Beta

That wasn't very nice of Betty, now was it? After all, the Alpha Betas were all football players and "face-men."
6. When pledging to this fraternity, what does Stan Gable (president the Greek Council) hand to Louis and Gilbert as they enter, telling them, "you'll need these for later?"

Answer: condoms

EEWWEE! And we can all assume what happened next...It's baaaahd!
7. After being rejected by the Alpha Betas, Louis, Gilbert, and a bunch of the others who were not accepted into a fraternity band together and go out and find a place to live.

Answer: True

That's right, they find a falling down old house, restore it into a beautiful house to live in...That is, until the Alpha Betas find out.
8. What does it say on the rock that Stan Gable throws through the window of the nerds new house?

Answer: "Nerds get out"

How rude!
9. The nerds believe they will never get treated fairly at the college until they join a fraternity. After pledging numerous frats and being turned down, which frat finally accepts them on probational terms?

Answer: Lambda Lambda Lambda

Yup, it was the Tri Lambs, the only fraternity to which the nerds did NOT send a group photo.
10. The nerds felt they had to have a party to impress the leader of their new frat. What was his name?

Answer: U.N. Jefferson

Yes! It was U.N. Jefferson. Initially he was none too impressed. The Pi's, a sorority led by Betty Childs who promised to be the probationary Tri Lambs dates for the big party, did not show up...Again I say, That was not very nice of Betty, now was it?
11. The party was not going very well until Booger started passing around what?

Answer: Wonder joints

Makes you wonder, eh?
12. The party was not enough to impress the U.N. and make the nerds full time in thier new frat. What was it that they did that impressed U.N. enough for him to accept them as a permanent chapter at Adams college?

Answer: Put liquid heat in the football players' jocks

"I'm glad to see you nerds, you guys, finally fought back. I think you'd make a fine addition to Tri Lambda, and I want to welcome you aboard. Congratulations." - U.N. Jefferson
13. Now that they had a fraternity, the only way the nerds felt they could get a fair shake at the college was to take over the Greek Council presidency. In order to accomplish that, what did they have to do?

Answer: Win the Homecoming Carnival Greek Games

That's right, they had to beat the Alpha Beta's and all of the other fraternities at the Greek games at the Homecoming Carnival.
14. The Alpha Betas had a member that they nicknamed the Ogre. What was his real name in the movie?

Answer: Frederick W. Pulowotski

I think the name Ogre about fits his character perfectly. Donald Gibb, the actor who played Ogre/Frederick W. Pulowotski, played the character very well and, in my opinion, was very funny.
15. In which contest at the Greek Games did Booger beat Ogre?

Answer: Belching contest

And who wouldn't be proud of a kid who can belch like that?
16. Who wins the javelin throwing contest?

Answer: Lamar Latrell

Yup! Lamar throws a beauty...thanks to the aerodynamically superior javelin that Wormser specifically designed to fit Lamar's "limp wristed throwing style."
17. Ogre wins his arm wrestling competition against his female competitor.

Answer: True

Yes, but just barely...and was he ever embarrassed!
18. In the raising money for charity contest, the nerds pie stand way out sells the Alpha Beta's Kissing Booth. Why is that?

Answer: Each pie contained a topless picture of Betty Childs

Oh ya! The guys were buying two and three pies apiece just to get that picture of Betty. My only question is, since each pie contained the exact same picture of Betty, why would guys buys more than one?
19. The nerds lost the tug of war contest against the Alpha Betas.

Answer: True

But they gained a moral victory. When the ref said go, the Tri Lambs simply let go of the rope and watched the Alpha Betas fall on their back sides. Score one for the nerds!
20. The Greek Games came down to a two way race between the Alpha Betas and the nerds. It would all be decided by the music and skit competition. During the Alpha Betas skit, what did the score board behind the football players and the cheerleaders read?

Answer: Alpha Beta/Pi 69, The Nerds 0

You had to look closely, but behind the Alpha Beta/Pi skit, the score board clearly read Alpha Beta/Pi 69, The Nerds 0. Interesting choice of a score I might add...
21. Who won the Greek Games and would thusly take over the presidency of the Greek Council next year?

Answer: Lambda Lambda Lambda

Ah! The sweet taste of victory.
22. Coach Harris was not at all pleased with the Alpha Betas for losing to, as he so delicately puts it, "a bunch of G.D.nerds." He strongly suggests that the Alpha Betas go out and redeem themselves. What do they do?

Answer: Trash the nerds' house

Yes, those immature Alpha Betas trashed the Tri Lambs' house...the straw that broke the camels back as far as Gilbert was concerned.
23. Gilbert retaliates by interrupting the pep rally for the homecoming football game. When he tries to grab the microphone away from Coach Harris, what happens?

Answer: All of these

And we all learn that you don't mess with U.N. Jefferson's Tri Lambs. They are some big, bad looking dudes...lucky for the nerds!
24. U.N. Jefferson hands Gilbert the microphone and lets him have his say. Gilbert and Louis invite all the people in the audience who may have been picked on or made to feel inferior at sometime in their lives, whether they felt they were nerds or not to come down and join them. The first person to come down is Judy, Gilbert's girlfriend.

Answer: False

Betty Childs is the first one to come down. Not only that, she hugs Louis and says, "...I'm in love with a nerd." The look on Stan Gable's face is priceless.
25. As the dejected Alpha Betas look on at what is happening, all of the nerds, Louis and Betty, Gilbert and Judy, and the rest of the crowd who had felt picked on at sometime in their lives begin to chant "Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!" What song is playing in the backgound?

Answer: "We are the champions"
