Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What, according to Rimmer, was Kryten originally designed to do?

Answer: Clean lavatories

Rimmer calls Kryten some mean names like "Captain Bogbot" and "Commander U-bend".

2. What number Space Corps Directive does Kryten cite to get Rimmer to agree to be switched off so the crew can save Dr. Lanstrom?

Answer: 169

Rimmer hates Kryten using Space Corps Directives as he thinks he makes them up as he goes along purely to irritate him.

3. Who starred as Dr. Hildegarde Lanstrom?

Answer: Maggie Steed

4. What kind of sandwiches does Rimmer say Lister constantly sprays all over his bunk?

Answer: Sugar Puff

Sugar Puff sandwiches sound disgusting. Lister apparently flosses his teeth with his guitar strings too.

5. Complete the quote: "My name is Dr. Hildegarde Lanstrom and I am..."

Answer: Quite quite mad

This is when Lanstrom is talking to Rimmer on the walkie-talkie and she passes the holovirus on to him.

6. Which number landing bay does Starbug get directed to when the crew return to Red Dwarf?

Answer: 47

Bay 47 is quarantine. The crew have been exposed to the holovirus in trying to rescuee Lanstrom and so Rimmer puts them in quarantine even though he has been infected already.

7. Which positive virus has the Latin name (according to Kryten) of Felicitus Populae?

Answer: Luck

Lanstrom discovered that positive viruses exist as well as negative ones. Kryten brings back the isolated viruses to Red Dwarf. The luck one is very useful to them.

8. How long are Kryten, Cat and Lister supposed to be in quarantine?

Answer: Three months

They only end up being there for five days.

9. What vegetable forms the basis for all the quarantined crew's meals?

Answer: Sprouts

Much as I like sprouts, I'm not sure dishes like sprout crumble and sprout salad would be nice.

10. Lister's left eye is blackened after fighting with Cat and Kryten.

Answer: false

It's his right eye. Cat has an injured arm, and Kryten has to panel-beat his head back into the right shape. We do not see the fight happen, just the injuries afterwards.

11. What does Lister call Kryten that upsets him?

Answer: Tetchy

Kryten gets very angry and upset when called tetchy. He then threatens to put the only video in the quarantine bay on, which is about D.I.Y. The video is one of the few forms of "entertainment" provided for them by Rimmer.

12. Complete the quote: "I'm sitting here wearing a red and white checked gingham dress. And..."

Answer: Army boots

The part where Rimmer is sitting outside the quarantine room dressed like this is the funniest thing in the episode. He is clearly insane but keeps saying how much he hates crazy people.

13. What is Rimmer's glove puppet friend called?

Answer: Mr. Flibble

A nice obvious one there for you. Mr. Flibble is a penguin who has a red bow-tie on and shoots lasers from his eyes when Rimmer does. This is a side-effect of the holovirus.

14. Who does Rimmer hit with an axe?

Answer: Kryten

He moves the axe using telekinesis, moving objects with his mind. He throws it at the crew and it hits Kryten in the back.

15. Rimmer is in quarantine at the end of the episode.

Answer: true

Cat, Kryten and Lister are all outside his room wearing the same checked dresses that Rimmer wore while he was mad, but I'm not sure if they've contracted the virus or are just getting Rimmer back for making them stay in there for no reason.
