Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. While Radar fiddles with the bulletin board at the beginning of the episode, a jeep arrives carrying an army colonel named Lil. She reveals her full name here. What is her surname?

Answer: Rayburn

Colonel Lillian Rayburn is played by Carmen Matthews. Matthews was a frequent television guest star, and also appeared in films such as 'Butterfield 8', 'A Rage to Live' and 'Sounder'.
2. Lil has been sent to the 4077th to observe the nurses working under Margaret. She has been especially assigned to observe the various M*A*S*H units by a certain General Rivert. By what name does Colonel Potter know Rivert?

Answer: Old Yellow Teeth

'I haven't heard that name in years. How is Old Yellow Teeth?' asks Colonel Potter about General Bill Rivert. 'Dark brown by now,' Lil cleverly responds. Potter then introduces Lil to Hawkeye and BJ, and soon kicks them out of his office so he can chat with Lil in peace.
3. Margaret soon arrives to greet Lil. Lil informs Margaret that she has a rigorous schedule of observation for the next several days, including a general inspection and meetings with the senior nursing staff, among other things.

Answer: False

Actually, Lil is quite easygoing with Margaret. Margaret is the one who has scheduled the general inspection and a meeting with the senior nursing staff. Lil nixes those ideas, suggesting that she prefers to observe them while they work in surgery. 'It saves all that saluting,' she suggests.
4. Which member of the 4077th seems especially miffed by Colonel Potter's friendly interactions with Lil?

Answer: Radar

While the good Colonel seems to be having the time of his life, Radar becomes rather nervous. He even attempts to sabotage the picnic that Potter and Lil have planned by letting the air out of a jeep tire. This plan comes to no avail as the two colonels decide to walk.
5. Hawkeye becomes miffed when BJ will not reveal what the two initials 'B' and 'J' represent. He begins to relentlessly pursue the answer to this conundrum. What is the first guess he makes as to what the initials might stand for?

Answer: Belvedere Jehoshaphat

Later, Hawkeye rules out Benito Juárez, because he discovers that BJ's mother is not Spanish. In the Swamp, Hawkeye continues to grill BJ about his favorite figures of history and literature. They all happen to go by names that are in initial form.
6. Hawkeye's next move is to go into BJ's personnel file in Radar's office. While going through the files, Hawkeye notices that which individual's file is at the front?

Answer: Radar

Radar claims that officers are in front, enlisted in the back. His file is in front because *he* does the filing.

In BJ's file, his name is in initial form. Hawkeye becomes especially miffed when he discovers this, it seems he doesn't like it when his best friend hides something from him.
7. Colonel Potter and Lil embark on an afternoon picnic together during the episode. On their way back from their pleasant little trip, the two of them are singing a song. What is the name of the man in the song?

Answer: Harrigan

The lyrics that Potter and Lil sing are as follows:

H - A - double R - I - G - A - N spells Harrigan,
Proud of all the Irish blood that's in me;
Divil a man can say a word agin me.
H - A - double R - I - G - A - N, you see,
Is a name that a shame never has been connected with, Harrigan, That's me!

This is a George M. Cohan song (called 'Harrigan') from 1907. James Cagney performed this song in the 1942 film 'Yankee Doodle Dandy'.
8. Colonel Potter later comes to Lil's tent for a nightcap. As requested, Lil sings a couple of lines from which song for Potter upon his entry into her tent?

Answer: Second Hand Rose

Here are the lyrics that Lil sings:

Everyone knows that I'm just Second Hand Rose From Second Avenue!

This song was written by Burton Lane & Alan Jay Lerner.
9. Colonel Potter and Lil enjoy some conversation together until Lil begins to 'make the moves' on the unwitting Potter. Though Potter is flattered, he rejects Lil's advances, as he is married and happy about it. Where, specifically, does he say his picture resides at his home?

Answer: On the piano

Colonel Potter is in the middle of regaling Lil with one of his countless war stories when she starts being very forward physically. Potter seems to have not suspecting Lil's interests here, despite the fact that it's obvious to everyone else (especially Radar).
10. By the end of the episode, we discover that BJ's initials stand for 'Bea' and 'Jay', the names of his mother and father.

Answer: True

Indeed, BJ is named for his mother Bea and his father Jay. Hawkeye won't even believe this 'cockamamie' story, and demands to know what 'BJ' stands for. BJ sarcastically responds, 'Anything you want!'
