Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start off easy to get into the swing of things. What movie were the cons watching? It starred Rita Hayworth...

Answer: Gilda

Let's see. 'Gilda' came out in 1946. They did the roof in 1949, and the movie scene was probably within a year of the roof job. But Andy also implied that they'd been showing it in heavy rotation. Maybe it had just gotten into the prison and they were getting as much out of it as they could. The men certainly seemed content to be watching it.
2. Who is NOT shown in the movie theater watching the movie?

Answer: Bogs

After Andy left the theater he was pulled into the projector room by Bogs and the Sisters where they proceeded to beat him 'within an inch of his life'.
3. Where is Andy when the guys get him his rocks?

Answer: In the infirmary

Andy was in the infirmary from the beating he received from Bogs. The guys got him his rocks so that he could find them upon his return to his cell.
4. What is Andy doing when they come in to toss his cell?

Answer: Reading the Bible

He's calmly reading the Bible. Note however, that he's reading from the first few pages.
5. What color is the ribbon in Andy's Bible when we see it after cell toss?

Answer: Purple

This is seen clearly when the Warden hands it back to Andy after the cell toss, saying 'I'd hate to deprive you of this... Salvation lies within.'
6. What is the first magazine Brooks shows Andy on his library 'tour'?

Answer: National Geographic

There really wasn't much else in there - some other magazines and some Louis L'Amour books.
7. What does the guard want on Andy's first day in the library?

Answer: To set up a trust fund for his kids' educations.

Captain Hadley had told him about what Andy did for him, and this other guard also wanted advice from the accountant inmate.
8. When Andy tells the guys he wants to get more books for the library, one of them suggests something else to put the money towards. What was it?

Answer: A pool table

Needless to say, the pool table idea never really flew.
9. Who does Andy write his letters to?

Answer: State Senate

A letter a week, mailed by the Warden.
10. When doing the tax returns, what does Andy ask Red to hand him?

Answer: A stack of the 1040s

Andy got so busy at this time of year that he got to have other men help him, which got Red out of the woodshop for a while.
11. Whose neck did Brooks put the knife to?

Answer: Heywood's

Brooks wanted to do something so that he would be kept in prison. He was afraid of returning to the outside world.
12. Where is Brooks' job on the outside?

Answer: The Foodway

The parole board got it for him. He thought about robbing it so he could be sent back to prison.
13. What did Brooks carve into the wall above where he hanged himself?

Answer: Brooks was here

Just the way men carve their names into the prison walls.
14. How long did it take for Andy's letters to have an effect?

Answer: 6 years

At a letter a week, that's more than 300 letters. When he got the $200 and books and sundry, he resolved to write two a week from then on.
15. What does the guard say to Andy to mean that he's going to use the restroom?

Answer: I'm going to pinch a loaf.

He said this and then headed into the Warden's bathroom.
16. Does Andy lock the doors before or after he starts playing the music?

Answer: After

He plays the music, locks the doors, then puts the music on the loudspeaker system. I never understood why the guy in the bathroom couldn't unlock the door. I mean, Andy used a key to lock it from the outside, but I've never heard of a bathroom door that locks from the outside with a key and can't be unlocked manually from the inside.

Then a better informed player let me know that doors used to lock only with a key, but from either side. If a door was locked and the key was left in the hole, it could not be unlocked from the other side. (Thanks, TonyTheDad!)
17. What else was NOT in the dish Andy took the bathroom key from?

Answer: paper

A little container with all the necessities...
18. What comic book was the guard reading in the bathroom?

Answer: Jughead

This can be seen when he drops the comic to pull up his pants when he realizes that Andy's put the music onto the loudspeaker system.
19. After Andy gets out of the Hole for playing the Mozart, where did he say the music was?

Answer: In his head and heart.

He touched his head and chest to show where it lay.
20. After Andy got out of the Hole for playing the Mozart, what did Red tell Andy about hope?

Answer: It's dangerous.

'Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane. It's got no use on the inside.'
