Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Where did David get the inner-tube?

In the episode, Opie accidentally kills a mother song bird with his slingshot and has to raise her babies.

Answer: Nod, Wynken, Blynken

After raising the birds for some time, Opie tells his father that the baby birds need a bigger cage so they can have more room. Andy tells Opie that he is right, but the birds need a lot of space and hints to Opie that they should be set free.

Answer: Limburger and onion

Gomer won the bet by catching "the biggest rainbow trout you ever saw". Gomer got fired from his job later that day for spending too much time gabbing with friends instead of taking care of customers. He ended up moving into Andy's house for a while.

Answer: 22

The metal badge is a six pointed star and the patch has a five point pentagram star shape. So: 6+6+5+5=22.

Answer: So it stands out. Especially when I'm dancing.

Ernest created such a commotion in the recruitment office that they decided to kick him out and not enlist him. Ernest then did what he does best to get revenge. He started breaking windows in the town.

Answer: Olive

In the scene, Barney sits down and says he's not very hungry, but he orders a bowl of cereal, coffee, wheat cakes, three eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The waitress (Olive) tells Barney "It does my heart good to see a thin man eat."

7. Aunt Bee's best friend was played by Hope Summers, and went by at least five different names during the show's running. Which of these names was *not* one of them?

Answer: Clara Edmonds

Clara was played by actress Hope Summers. She also appeared in the movies "Spencer's Mountain" (1963), "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" (1966), and "Foul Play" (1978). Her names in the "Andy Griffith Show" were Clara Johnson, Bertha Edwards, Bertha Johnson, Clara Edwards, and Miss Bedloe.

Answer: Jelcic Stern

In Ernest's explanation, he says that when Jelcic came back in his uniform, all the girls said, "Jelcic walk with me, Jelcic talk with me, Jelcic kiss my mouth." Instead of getting an Army uniform, Andy gives Ernest Barney's deputy uniform to satisfy him.

Answer: Gin

Otis couldn't jump into the turning rope because to him, it was going too fast. Then Otis started his own rhyme that went: 'Slow it down and let me in, or I'll go out and buy some gin'. That flustered Barney, so Andy told Otis to go ahead and leave.

Answer: Catches a fly in his bare hand and holds it to his ear

While Gomer and Barney were falling asleep during the sermon, Opie's eyes were fixed on a fly buzzing around his face. After he caught the fly, Andy made Opie stop fidgeting and listen to the sermon.
