Lemony Snicket Trivia Questions

1. Which question does NOT have the answer "Stain'd-by-the-Sea"?

From Quiz
Why is This a Wrong Question?

Answer: Where does Kit live?

The series takes place in Stain'd-by-the-Sea, a town with a declining population. It was once underwater, but the sea was removed to improve octopus ink farming methods; this ended up backfiring, and the town is now a shadow of what it once was. Snicket's apprenticeship, as part of his V.F.D. training, takes place in this town: he stays in the Lost Arms. The Clusterous Forest which surrounds the town is very eerie.

2. At the beginning of the novel, thirteen year-old Lemony is in the Hemlock Tearoom and Stationery Shop having tea with his parents before he catches a train. What's wrong with that?

From Quiz What's Wrong With That?

Answer: The people he is with aren't his parents.

Lemony "says" he is with his parents, but often what he says differs greatly from what is real. The mother does address him as "son" and talks about how proud of him they are. At the end of chapter one, Lemony reveals that they aren't his parents, but doesn't say who they are.

3. Oz Deer Macadam Me

From Quiz Fractured "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Answer: Austere Academy

"The Austere Academy" is the fifth book in the series. The Baudelaires are sent to a hideous boarding school, Prufrock Preparatory School, where they meet new friends, the Quagmires. Olaf appears as Coach Genghis.

4. In 'The Reptile Room', what film do the children go to see with Uncle Monty and 'Stephano'?

From Quiz Lemony Snicket

Answer: Zombies in the Snow

It is 'Zombies in the Snow'. At the end of the book, Snicket sends his editor a copy of this film.

5. What is the name of the poisonous fungus that almost kills Sunny and almost causes a genocide within an entire island colony?

From Quiz Homage to "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Answer: Medusoid Mycelium

This was the final appearance of the Medusoid Mycelium in the series. It first appeared in "The Grim Grotto". Oddly enough, its antidote was horseradish, which the Baudelaire parents were smart enough to incorporate into the growth of a tree on the island the Baudelaires washed up on.

6. Who are the dedications in Lemony Snicket's books always addressed to?

From Quiz "A Series of Unfortunate Events"- Dedications

Answer: Beatrice

Every dedication begins with "For Beatrice-" or "To Beatrice-" and then continues with its message. Beatrice appears to be Lemony Snicket's dead lover, who somehow died in a fire. He hints at all of this throughout the course of the books.

7. Who writes for the column 'Secret Organizations You Should Know About?

From Quiz Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography

Answer: Geraldine Julienne

David Handler is Lemony Snicket's official Representative in all legal, literary and social matters.

8. Who is the author who writes these books?

From Quiz A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Answer: Lemony Snicket

9. "Bombinating Beast" is the right answer. Which is the wrong question?

From Quiz Why is This a Wrong Question?

Answer: What does Prosper buy from Moxie?

The Bombinating Beast is an important but mysterious object in the book. Lemony Snicket and his chaperone, S. Theodora Markson, are hired by "Mrs. Murphy Sallis" to steal this from the Mallahans, who Mrs. Sallis claims took it from her.

10. While drinking his tea, Lemony spreads his napkin in his lap. What's wrong with that?

From Quiz What's Wrong With That?

Answer: He's using it to hide a note he had secretly been given.

A woman that Lemony describes as being tall with wild hair enters the tearoom and brushes by Lemony's table. She then makes a purchase and quickly leaves, but not before she drops a note in Lemony's lap.

11. What was the snack that Sunny first served in "The Grim Grotto", with ingredients she had found washed in by the tide?

From Quiz A Series of Unfortunate Events

Answer: Peanut butter on crackers

Fiona was the first to taste this delicious snack.

12. Every dedication deals with the fact that the person the book is being dedicated to is what?

From Quiz "A Series of Unfortunate Events"- Dedications

Answer: dead

As the books subtly point out throughout the series, Beatrice died in a fire and is, in fact, dead. Some even show both Snicket's sad current emotions and his happy ones prior to her death. The dedications are wonderful little poems that I can't wait to read when a new book comes out. Each one gives a piece more of Beatrice's story.

13. On the Snicket Family Tree which person has a noose around their branch?

From Quiz Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography

Answer: O

Many people believe that this person is Count Olaf.

14. The answer "Moxie Mallahan" does not match which question?

From Quiz Why is This a Wrong Question?

Answer: Who tells Snicket about Black Cat Coffee?

Moxie Mallahan lives in the Stain'd Lighthouse with her father. Her mother left Stain'd-by-the-Sea to try to find a job in the city, after Moxie's parents both became unemployed when the local newspaper folded.

15. A note instructs Lemony to go to the bathroom and climb out the window which turns out to be several feet above his head, but Lemony finds a ladder and completes the task. What's wrong with that?

From Quiz What's Wrong With That?

Answer: He has put the ladder in the bathroom himself.

Lemony "finds" a large package wrapped in brown paper in one of the stalls. Of course, it is the ladder which he tells the reader he put there himself. He uses it to get out of the window and then gets in the car of the woman who had delivered the note.

16. "Beatrice" is the name of two different people. One is Kit Snicket's baby girl. The other is Lemony Snicket's love, but she was connected in another way. What was it?

From Quiz A Series of Unfortunate Events

Answer: She was the Baudelaire children's mother

This is only discovered right at the end of "The End". Kit Snicket asked the Baudelaires to name her baby after one of their parents. As the baby is a girl, it makes sense that she was named after their mother. Right at the end of "The End" the baby girl says her name, which is also the name of the boat, which is "Beatrice".

17. How many people in the WHOLE series have the initials "JS" ?

From Quiz Homage to "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Answer: Three

There are three people with the initials "JS": Jacques Snicket (who is killed in book seven, "The Vile Village"), Justice Strauss (who appears in "The Bad Beginning", and dies in "The Penultimate Peril"), and Jerome Squalor (who appears in "The Ersatz Elevator", and is presumed dead in "The Penultimate Peril").

18. In "The Bad Beginning", the dedication is a basic, three-word sentence. What is it?

From Quiz "A Series of Unfortunate Events"- Dedications

Answer: darling, dearest, dead

The first book's dedication is sweet, simple, and to the point- To Beatrice- darling, dearest, dead. This does, in fact, say a lot. From this alone, a reader can now assume Beatrice is not only dead, but was/is loved. This could be as Snicket's daughter, wife, girlfriend, friend, acquaintance, etc., but tells readers a lot nonetheless.

19. In the transcript between J, L, M, R, R, M, L, K, D, S and I who comes in at the end of the transcript?

From Quiz Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography

Answer: O and E

They are obviously Olaf and Esme.

Answer: The Marvelous Marriage

In the play Count Olaf tries to marry Violet so he can steal the Baudelaire fortune.

21. The woman in the car, S. Theodora Markson, tells Lemony that she will be training him as her apprentice. What's wrong with that?

From Quiz What's Wrong With That?

Answer: Her method of instruction includes examples and nagging.

Theodora informs Lemony that she will show him what she did and then tell him to do other things. She does allow him to ask questions, but often says "Stop asking the wrong questions."

From Quiz A Series of Unfortunate Events

Answer: Uncle Monty's place

Quigley Quagmire mentions that he spent a long time in that house after escaping from the fire that burnt his house down.

23. In the whole series, how many total chapters are there?

From Quiz Homage to "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Answer: 170

There were, in theory, 169 chapters, as this is the result of square rooting unlucky number 13 - the same number of books in the series. HOWEVER, you must realize that "The End" has an extra chapter, so the total chapters are 170.

24. In the second book, "The Reptile Room", the dedication said, after the "For ________-" part: "My love for you shall live forever." What was the other sentence?
