Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "The Alliance" episode, Michael is asked by Oscar to donate to his nephew's walkathon for a charity. How much money does Michael donate, not realizing that the donation is per mile and not a flat amount?

Answer: 25 dollars

Michael scoffs at the other office employee's $2 and $3 donations, but is mortified when he finds out that the donation is per mile. The year before, Oscar's nephew walked 17 miles, which would mean Michael likely has to donate a minimum of $425 to the charity.
2. On Michael's birthday Kevin gets a medical scare when he discovers he may have skin cancer. Jim and Pam decide to buy Kevin some of his favorite things to make him feel better including M&Ms, sixty-nine cup of noodles, and what movie that he let Creed borrow and will likely never get back?

Answer: American Pie 2

During the episode, only Dwight pays attention to Michael's birthday, while everyone else is more concerned about Kevin's medical news. According to Jim, American Pie 2 is Kevin's favorite movie. In the end, Kevin does not have skin cancer and Michael gets to have his party at the ice skating rink.
3. When the office staff goes to the beach, Michael has an ulterior motive to find someone to replace him as regional manager. During the hot dog eating contest Andy Bernard is the winner with how many total hot dogs eaten?

Answer: 13

Other games played at the beach included a sumo wrestling contest, a fire walk, and a spoon & egg race. In the end, Michael doesn't even get the corporate job, so even though Dwight won the beach games he was not given the regional manager job.
4. After Michael tricks Jim and Pam into coming over for a dinner party at his condo, Jan and Michael get into an argument during dinner. Michael hangs a neon beer sign in the dining room and Jan breaks Michael's plasma TV with a trophy. What is the brand name of the beer on the neon sign?

Answer: St. Pauli Girl

The St. Pauli Girl beer sign makes another appearance later in the series when Michael and Holly have their garage sale in the Dunder Mifflin warehouse, but Michael decides not to sell it.
5. During the "Stress Relief" episode, Jim and Pam watch a ridiculous bootlegged movie with Andy in the break room. What is the name of the geriatric lead character portrayed by Cloris Leachman that Sam (Jack Black) has a steamy affair with?

Answer: Lily

The "Stress Relief" episode was one of the most watched and most over-the-top episodes of the entire series. It was aired immediately after the Super Bowl in an effort to gain viewership for the show. During the episode, Michael is roasted by the rest of the office after learning that he was the cause of most of their stress.
6. After Jim and Pam get married, Michael starts to date Pam's mom, Helene. During the birthday lunch for Helene, Michael gives her a homemade scrapbook than includes a plagiarized poem by what popular author?

Answer: Shel Silverstein

Even though Helene is thrilled by the absurd gift, Michael downplays it because he is trying to break up with her over her age. Later, Pam slaps Michael in the face for his actions.
7. On Michael's final episode before he moves to Colorado with Holly, he decides to give a special goodbye to each Dunder Mifflin employee. To which character does Michael give his unfinished manuscript of "Somehow I Manage" to complete?

Answer: Darryl

In the emotional episode, Michael gives Andy his best clients, Oscar gets a ridiculous stuffed doll, Ryan gets his neon beer sign, and Stanley gets a billiard table with no balls. D'Angelo Vickers takes over as manager until he is nearly killed trying to dunk a basketball from half court.
8. During the Sabre Store launch to promote the ridiculous "Pyramid" product, Jim was caught by bloggers using his cell phone instead of Sabre's new triangle shaped phone. What was the name of this phone?

Answer: Arrowhead

Nellie claims that the Arrowhead is more comfortable to use due to its "ergonomic shape," but like the pyramid it looks completely absurd. Jim is caught using his regular cell phone so the bloggers take a picture of him for their "fail blog."
9. In the final season of the show, Pam is given the opportunity to paint a mural in the warehouse. What is the name of the surly warehouse worker who vandalizes Pam's mural and later attacks Pam when she paints his car?

Answer: Frank

Brian, the cameraman for the documentary, protects Pam from Frank's attack and is fired for it. During the season a subplot develops where Brian and Pam seem to have feelings for each other, but it only strengthens Jim and Pam's relationship in the end.
10. In the final episode of the series, Erin's biological mother is finally revealed when she surprises Erin during the documentary Q&A session. What famous actress portrays Erin's real mom?

Answer: Joan Cusack

Erin's mother and father are both revealed during this emotional final episode. It is well known since the fifth season that Erin was a orphan and Phyllis even considers that she may be her mother at one point, since Erin was born around the same time and place as when Phyllis gave a child away.
