Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Hawkeye has drawn the happy duty of dispensing pay to the 4077th personnel, and he's extremely chipper about it. In particular, he is responsible for divvying out cash to the non-commissioned personnel, including a certain Corporal Klinger. What does Klinger say his ID number is when it is his turn to pick up his salary?

Answer: 36-24-36

Before Hawkeye can began to dispense pay to the 4077th personnel, Radar is required to read a disclaimer about the payment process. After he's finished, Radar receives a standing ovation from the people in line. When he asks Hawkeye if he has understood the rules as described to him, Hawkeye responds, 'Just as sure as you're one-foot high, Radar!' Radar responds in an annoyed whisper: 'Cut that out!'

Klinger adds to the amusement with his appearance in a lovely fur coat. When Hawkeye asks for his signature, he comments: 'Just sign your Jane Hancock.'
2. Does Hawkeye have any money leftover when he is finished dispensing pay to the M*A*S*H personnel?

Answer: Yes

Exactly $10 remains after payments have been divvied out to the dwellers of the 4077th. Hawkeye attempts to give the remainder to Radar as a 'tip', but Radar will have none of it. He insists that they are required to report the extra cash, and Hawkeye gladly relinquishes responsibility over to Radar for said cash.
3. After receiving his monthly pay, Frank relaxes happily in the Swamp. He is soon interrupted, however, by a local traveling salesman named Quoc who offers up a lovely string of pearls. What popular TV actor played the part of Mr. Quoc in this episode?

Answer: Jack Soo

Jack Soo, who you may recall as Detective Nick Yemana from 'Barney Miller', made his second and final appearance on 'M*A*S*H' in this episode, playing the part of Quoc. His first appearance was in the first season episode 'To Market, To Market'.
4. After selling a pearl necklace to Frank, Quoc continues his rounds, making his way into Margaret's tent. He attempts to sell a string of pearls to Margaret, but it is out of her price range. While making his sales pitch to Hot Lips, Quoc claims to have sold a necklace to a Major in the camp. How does he describe this Major, aka Frank Burns?

Answer: Fertilizer face

When describing Frank, Quoc says, 'I don't know his name. He had what we call in Korea a real fertilizer face.' Immediately, Hot Lips knows it's Frank.

Quoc sold a $500 necklace to Frank, and tossed in a string of fake pearls for free. Immediately, Margaret has it in mind to get the real pearls.
5. While Hawkeye dances blissfully with a nurse, Radar barges in with some shocking news. It seems that Hawkeye has received a certain 'bonus' from the army, thanks to Radar's machinations. How much money has Radar almost unwittingly acquired for Hawkeye via the army?

Answer: $3000

Earlier in the episode, Hawkeye claimed that the army owed him $3000 in pay to make up for what he has lost from his civilian practice since coming to Korea. Somehow, Radar has managed to submit and receive a request for this 'back pay', and he presents it to Hawkeye over a 'Shirley Temple, extra dry'.
6. Klinger has something unique in mind for his monthly paycheck, namely to bribe Henry Blake in return for a Section Eight. Henry refuses the bribe, and as a 'favor' to Klinger, he suggests he won't mention it to anyone. Klinger responds that bribery is as American as which of the following?

Answer: Toreador pants

Klinger not only offers this month's pay, but an additional two months on top of it, for a grand total of $477 dollars. In addition, he tosses in $250 dollars, which can be found in a locker in Grand Central Station. After Henry rebuffs his offer and claims that he's afraid of the war too, Klinger suggests that they run away together.
7. Frank visits Margaret's tent, and presents her with the string of phony pearls he received from Quoc. Hot Lips is as pleased as punch, becoming very excited at the feeling of the pearls in her hands. How does she claim that a person can tell if pearls are genuine?

Answer: Rub them on one's teeth

By rubbing pearls against one's teeth, one can determine whether they are real. Real pearls feel rough against the teeth, while fake pearls are smooth. Though the necklace Frank has brought Hot Lips is made from fake pearls, Margaret suggests they are real. She needs to confuse him for her scheme to work!
8. Hawkeye decides to give his windfall 'salary' to charity, and gives the entire sum to Father Mulcahy to distribute to his orphans. Soon after this, however, he is confronted by a person from headquarters who insists that the money be returned. What is the name of this authoritarian, anal-retentive 'supervising acc-fin (accounting and finance)', played by Eldon Quick?

Answer: Captain Sloan

'Where are the funds you thought you could swindle the United States government out of...as though anyone might think they could?' asks a confrontational Captain Sloan. Hawkeye responds, 'How long have you had this delusion that you're human?' When Radar arrives with Father Mulcahy, and announces his arrival to Hawkeye, Captain Sloan quickly snaps, 'Siddown, shorty.' Both Radar and Father Mulcahy immediately sit down. Funny stuff!

Eldon Quick made his second of three appearances on 'M*A*S*H' in this episode, the other ones coming in the episodes entitled 'The Incubator' and 'The Late Captain Pierce'.
9. Frank falls perfectly into Margaret's trap, switching the fake pearls for the real ones while she isn't looking. Where does he make this foolish switch, much to the delight of Hot Lips?

Answer: Nurses' shower

Margaret hangs the string of pearls right next to the door while she takes a shower, and Frank falls right into her trap. He switches his real pearls for the fake ones while Margaret apparently is looking away. All the while, she has a giant grin on her face.
10. Trapper is involved in a big poker hand and needs some quick money. He runs all around camp looking for a quick loan, but finally settles on stealing one of Hawkeye's possessions to complete his final bet. What item of Hawkeye's does Trapper steal?

Answer: Watch

Trapper wins his hand, using Hawkeye's watch as part of his bet. Trapper's winnings total slightly over $3000 dollars, which Hawkeye seizes from Trapper and hands over to Captain Sloan. When Trapper protests, Hawkeye points out that it was *his* watch that won the money for him, and accuses him of stealing. 'You want me to arrest him as long as I'm here? No extra charge.' Captain Sloan claims. A dumbfounded Henry chimes in, 'Boy, I wish I knew what was going on.' Radar responds, 'I'll tell you later, sir.' Henry retorts, 'You always say that, Radar, but you never do.' And they live happily ever after.
