Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How many flights up was the Mertzes' room?

Answer: 5

The Ricardos' room was four flights up. When they arrived, the manager told the Mertzes that room was one more flight up.

2. What is Ricky's response when Lucy says "Hi" as he staggers through the door?

Answer: You can say that again!

This was, of course, his feelings about how high up the room was.

3. After Ethel called the Hotel Grande a "picturesque dump," which famous hotel did Fred compare the Hotel Grande with?

Answer: Aster

Lucy then says, "Okay. Ring for Conrad Hilton." I guess this is referring to the Hilton.

4. What famous person does Lucy pretend to speak with as an excuse to keep an Italian woman off the hotel phone?

Answer: Benjamin Franklin

Eventually she got caught, because the phone rang while she was talking! It was the friend of the Italian woman, so naturally the woman got right back on again!

5. The elevator of the Hotel Grande was broken.

Answer: True

Or, as the manager said, "She's-a bust!" Lucy later said, "She's-a no bust, she's-a POOPED!"

6. How does Fred describe Lucy and Ricky's bed?

Answer: soft

He falls back on Ricky's bed, and finds it rock hard. He then says, "You're lucky. You got a soft one."

7. What is the name of the first friend that Giuseppe brings to Lucy?

Answer: Theresa

She is Giuseppe's cousin. She says it is really her birthday, but I'm still wondering...

8. What gift did Lucy give to the child who shined her shoes?

Answer: shoes

It was a new pair of shoes, but he refused to take them because it wasn't really his birthday. He got to keep them, because it was his cousin's birthday, maybe...

9. What was the phone number of the hotel?

Answer: Plazio 2905

Plazio 8000 was the number made up by Lucy to talk to Benjamin Franklin, and Murray Hill 5-9099 was the number of Lucy's apartment in New York.

10. What was the time in New York when Lucy made her first call?

Answer: 5:00 a.m.

The baby was asleep during the call, and she called again at eight a.m., and Little Ricky had gone to nursery school, and Ricky finally got him on the phone at the end of the episode, and all the children sang "Happy Birthday" to him in Italian.
