Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. While the doctors are busy in the operating room, Radar brings news of a visit from a colonel who has demanded to see Colonel Potter immediately. What is this 'I Corps' colonel's name?

Answer: Bidwell

Colonel Bidwell insists on knowing who the most 'outstanding' doctor at the 4077th is...and Colonel Potter reluctantly responds that it's Hawkeye. Bidwell immediately insists that he'll be transferring Hawkeye to the personal services of a certain General Korshak. Potter responds that Korshak won't want Hawkeye...too disagreeable!
2. Colonel Potter learns that a certain General Korshak desires a personal physician. Potter is familiar with General Korshak, referring to him by what interesting epithet?

Answer: Tamer of the Tiger Tank

Potter continues his conversation with Bidwell, discouraging him from selecting Hawkeye as the General's personal physician. He suggests that, 'Pierce is a maverick, from the top of his unshorn head to the tips of his uncut toenails.'
3. Back in the operating room, the visiting Colonel takes a personal look at Hawkeye's activities in the operating room. Not only does he witness Hawkeye operating, he also overhears a typical O.R. conversation. According to Hawkeye, which is worse, war or hell?

Answer: war

Father Mulcahy is stunned by this and inquires as to why Hawkeye thinks this way. Hawkeye answers that there are no innocent bystanders in hell, but that war is 'chock full of them -- little kids, cripples, old ladies.' Hawkeye goes on, 'In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.' Interesting point!
4. In the mess tent we see the doctors schmoozing about the day's operating session. Meantime, Radar is approached by his friend Corporal Mulligan while serving himself up some coffee. Mulligan is played by Larry Wilcox, an actor who would later become famous for his role in which of these television series?

Answer: CHIPs

Larry Wilcox played Sgt. Baker, sidekick to the 1980s heart-throb Erik Estrada on the television show 'CHIPs'. In this, his only appearance on 'M*A*S*H' he plays a young corporal who is being shipped home to Bitter Creek, Wyoming. Apparently, he is leaving something important behind...namely his Korean lover and their child!
5. Corporal Mulligan has requested that Radar take care of somebody very special for him, namely his Korean female companion. What is the name of this young lady?

Answer: Mai Ping

What Mulligan doesn't tell Radar the whole story! Aside from Mai Ping there is a child (a very cute one, I might add!) The baby's name is Lee Chin...Lee Chin Mulligan! Radar has now become a surrogate father.
6. The General's assistant doesn't like what he sees of Hawkeye's behavior, but this doesn't deter General Korshak from coming to the camp himself to take a look at Hawkeye. Which actor plays the General in this episode?

Answer: Edward Binns

The General calls Hawkeye a 'real hard nose', and claims 'that makes two of us'. You might recognize Binns from some of his other roles, which include '12 Angry Men' (Juror 6) and 'Patton' (Maj. Gen. Walter Bedell Smith).
7. Radar acquires some food and other supplies for his newly adopted Korean family, and brings BJ along to give the child a physical check-up. Does Radar claim to be the child's father?

Answer: No

Of course not, Radar would never be that bold. Radar rather chooses to call himself Lee Chin's 'uncle', though he acknowledges that he is not really that either. BJ suggests that he admires Radar for his newfound family and calls Radar a 'good father', despite Radar's objections to the title.
8. General Korshak interviews Hawkeye personally, and despite the latter's insolence and smart alec replies to the General's inquiries, he still wants to acquire Hawkeye as his personal physician.

Answer: True

The General asks Hawkeye several questions about his medical background. Hawkeye answers that he had 'all the childhood diseases: mumps, measles, colic -- you name it!' When the General asks ('seriously') where Hawkeye studied, Hawkeye responds, 'I never studied seriously. If I hadn't cheated on the final exam and been a personal friend of the cadavers, I never would have graduated. And that was high school.' These responses only make the General want him more!
9. Returning to Radar, we see him continuing to care for his adopted family when Mulligan returns. Mulligan claims that he almost boarded a plane back to the United States, but decided he could not leave his loved ones behind. Radar understands that he is relieved from his newfound duties, and attempts to leave behind what item precious to him for the child?

Answer: His teddy bear

Radar is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice and leave his teddy bear to Lee Chin, but Mai Ping retrieves it from the child's cradle and gives it to Radar. Mulligan tells Mai Ping that he will bring her and their child back to Bitter Creek with him...all's well that ends well.
10. Hawkeye performs a routine physical on General Korshak and delivers the news that the General is in very poor health. Hawkeye suggests that the General will suffer from what malady within months if he doesn't straighten out his personal habits?

Answer: A stroke

Hawkeye insists that the general must clean up his personal habits, including giving up his cigar smoking and scotch drinking. Korshak is resistant to Hawkeye's advice, even when Hawkeye pronounces that he has six months to live given his current lifestyle. The General finally agrees to 'take Hawkeye's orders' and releases Hawkeye from his obligation to become his personal physician after Hawkeye's impassioned pleas. Yes, all's well that ends well.
