Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what U.S. state was the college of magic that Quentin Coldwater attended located?

Answer: New York

In the opening scenes Coldwater was in college and looking for a graduate school. He was attempting to interview at Yale. Soon after he discovered Brakebills University.

The series is based on the books by Lev Grossman. In the books Coldwater is a high school student, and for the TV series he was aged up to a college student.
2. Did Quentin pass the entrance exam on his first try?

Answer: Yes

He didn't even know what the school was when they started the test. He looked down at the blue book and all of the questions and pictures kept changing.

He passed the test easily, despite not knowing what it was. His friend Julia failed the written portion of the test and was sent home.
3. During a meeting with the Dean, Quentin was told the school takes how many years to complete?

Answer: 3

It's a 3-year program at a graduate level. He was forced to decide on the spot if he wanted to attend the school. Once he chose yes, he was given a tour by a pair of second year students.
4. What was the name of the book series that Quentin obsessed over reading?

Answer: Fillory and Further

Jane Chatwin was the main character in the books, and also appeared to Quentin in his dreams.

In the dream Quentin was warned about a something known as "The Beast".
5. How did Julia make herself remember about Brakebills University?

Answer: Cut open her right arm before they wiped her memory.

Students who failed the written exam had their memories wiped and were sent back to the normal world.

Julia, not wanting to forget, used one of her rings to slice open her right arm, which triggered her memory the next morning when she awoke.

She then spent weeks trying to force herself to learn magic.
6. Who did Quentin and Alice attempt to contact with a summoning spell?

Answer: Charlie

The two, along with Penny and Kady, tried to reach Charlie. Charlie was Alice's brother who had died several years prior.

Instead of reaching Charlie, they inadvertently summoned The Beast.
7. Which character was the dean of the college?

Answer: Henry Fogg

Henry Fogg, played by Rick Worthy, had a lot of different character traits. He was kind and caring at certain moments. Then at other times he was extremely rude and condescending.

Basically he adapted his personality to whatever it needed to be at that exact moment.
8. When battling the dean, what did The Beast do?

Answer: Ripped out his eyes.

The Beast froze everyone in the room when he appeared. Then the dean burst in the room and the two fought briefly. After beating Dean Fogg, he tore out the man's eyes and placed them on a table, using his bloody fingers to make a smiley face.
9. Alice had an advantage over the other students because her parents had trained her in magic from an early age.

Answer: False

While Alice's parents were both magicians, she revealed to Quentin that she had a very bad childhood. Her parents were neglectful and never taught her any magic.
10. Who played Quentin Coldwater in the episode?

Answer: Jason Ralph

Jason Ralph is the only real person on the list. The other three options are all characters Ralph played on different shows. He played Dalton on "Madame Secretary", Vickery on "Aquarius" and Singer on "Blue Bloods".
