Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

Yossarian is the hero of this wonderfully satirical book, and he is in awe of Catch 22.

Doc Daneeka is the morose medico on the airbase on the island of Pianosa. He is in constant fear of being transferred to the Pacific to dig graves, and is 'officially' killed in McWatt's suicide plane crash. He was the first to explain the Catch to Yossarian.

Hungry Joe has screaming nightmares when he has finished his quota of missions, and gets into fistfights with Huble's cat!

Major Major Major is a well-meaning but not very competent officer, who gets promoted to major in an administrative mixup.

Nurse Duckett is a well-meaning nurse, and Yossarian's sometimes girlfriend.

Clevinger is a gung-ho pilot, who flew into a cloud but never reappeared.

Kid Sampson has a small part in the novel, and he died when McWatt buzzed the beach and chopped him in half with his propellor.

Colonel Cathcart was hated by most of the pilots, as he was the one that kept raising the number of missions. He tries to keep his superiors happy, but most of them think he is an idiot.

Chief White Halfoat is a native American Indian, and Doc Daneeka's tentmate. They despise each other, and the Chief eventually dies of pneumonia, just as he predicts would happen.

Ex-P.F.C. Wintergreen is the mailroom clerk, who wields an inordinate amount of behind-the-scenes power, with his 'talents' of forgery and destruction of correspondence.

All the wrong answers were created by Charles Dickens.
