The Reptile Room Trivia Questions
1. What were Dr. Lucafont's and Stephano's true identities?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: The Hook-handed man and Count Olaf

The Baudelaires could tell it was Olaf pretending to be an assistant. When Lucafont showed up, they pretended they wanted to see the inside of a doctor's car, because they were suspicious.

2. "'The word 'inquisitive' means--' 'We know what it means,' Klaus said. '_______.'"

From Quiz Lemony's Definitions 2

Answer: Full of questions

Other ways to say 'inquisitive' are curious and eager for knowledge. This way, the word has a positive connotation. Some negative meanings for the same word would be snoopy, prying, and nosy.

3. What is Uncle Monty's full name?

From Quiz Book the Second: The Reptile Room

Answer: Montgomery Montgomery

This is where Lemony Snicket's humor kicks in.

4. In chapter 1 what is the name of the road the Baudelaires use to get to Uncle Monty's house?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Lousy Lane

"The stretch of road that leads out of the city, past Hazy Harbor and into the town of Tedia, is perhaps one of the most unpleasant in the world. It is called Lousy Lane." This is a making fun of the stupid winding and twisting roads that you get in the country.

5. What was the name of the road the Baudelaires and Mr. Poe took to get to Uncle Monty's House?

From Quiz The Unfortunate Events of the Reptile Room

Answer: Lousy Lane

Lousy Lane was the most horrible road the Baudelaires had ever traveled on, mainly because it smelt of horseradish.

6. The Baudelaires' new guardian, Dr. Montgomery Montgomery, introduces himself as a snake-studier, with which technical term?

From Quiz A Reprehensible Quiz on "The Reptile Room"

Answer: Herpetologist

In Chapter Two, the Baudelaires are slightly confused by Uncle Monty, but he establishes himself as kind and thoughtful through his offerings of coconut cream cake and carrots. Klaus is excited at the announcement of their planned travels to Peru.

7. What venomous snake killed Uncle Monty?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: The Mamba du Mal

A Black Mamba is another specimen, the Incredibly Deadly Viper wasn't deadly, and a Virginian Wolfsnake has nothing to do with Monty's death.

8. "Klaus had chosen a room with a cozy alcove in it--the word 'alcove' here means_______."

From Quiz Lemony's Definitions 2

Answer: a very, very small nook just perfect for sitting and reading

The word alcove comes from the Spanish word 'alcoba', which comes from the Arabic word 'al-qubba' which means 'the vault'.

9. What does Lousy Lane smell like?

From Quiz Book the Second: The Reptile Room

Answer: Horseradish

This is mentioned many times in the book.

10. In chapter 2 what does Uncle Monty give to Sunny to eat?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Raw carrot

Uncle Monty gives Sunny raw carrot because she doesn't like soft foods. Uncle Monty also remarks that this was unusual for a baby but not at all unusual for snakes.

11. What was Uncle Monty's first name?

From Quiz The Unfortunate Events of the Reptile Room

Answer: Montgomery

Uncle Monty often was ridiculed because his name was Montgomery Montgomery.

12. The Baudelaires discover that the Incredibly Deadly Viper is harmless after it bites Sunny - Uncle Monty has chosen its name to prank his colleagues. Its name is described by Uncle Monty as an example of what?

From Quiz A Reprehensible Quiz on "The Reptile Room"

Answer: Misnomer

In Chapter Three, the Baudelaires get used to a pleasant routine, each using their talents to help Uncle Monty's snake studies. Snicket's friend Madame diLustro is mentioned for the first of two times in the series, here as an excellent dinner party host so long as one is not late. In "The Grim Grotto", Snicket alludes to discovering her true identity. It seems that, like the Incredibly Deadly Viper, she has been going by a "misnomer" - a wrong name.

13. What can't you let a Virginian Wolfsnake near?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Typewriter

No one knows why this is so. It's just what Monty says.

14. "While he was telling them about different reptiles, Uncle Monty would often segue--a word which here means _______"

From Quiz Lemony's Definitions 2

Answer: let the conversation veer off

From dictionary.com, "To proceed without interruption; to make a smooth transition". Uncle Monty's conversation would segue "to stories from his travels, describing the men, snakes, women, toads, children, and lizards he'd met on his journeys." This is one of the few happy times the Baudelaires have experienced.

15. What was Sunny's job in the Reptile Room?

From Quiz Book the Second: The Reptile Room

Answer: To bite rope

She has this job since she likes to bite on hard things.

16. What is the real identity of Stephano?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Count Olaf & Olaf

If you got it wrong the answer is Count Olaf or Olaf. The Baudelaires worked this out because of his shiny eyes, wheezy voice and tattoo.

17. What was Uncle Monty's profession?

From Quiz The Unfortunate Events of the Reptile Room

Answer: Herpetologist

Uncle Monty loved snakes, and herpetology is the study of snakes, so he couldn't have found a better job.

18. The fourth chapter sees Olaf in a new disguise. He has in common with a character in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" his drunkenness, ego and unintentional comedy. They share what name?

From Quiz A Reprehensible Quiz on "The Reptile Room"

Answer: Stephano

Another reference to "The Tempest" is found in the name of the ship to Peru - the "Prospero". In fact, Olaf finds himself shipwrecked in a later book, just as Stephano does. Unfortunately for the Baudelaires, the absurdity of Olaf's schemes is balanced out by the incompetence of the adults around him. Despite Uncle Monty's seeming trustworthiness, he is completely fooled by Olaf's disguise.

19. What was the name of the ship sailing to Peru?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Prospero

Count Olaf, using the alias Stephano, never got them onto the ship.

20. "'What does 'giddy' mean?' Violet asked, when they had finished reading the note. '_______', said Klaus, having learned the word from a collection of poetry he'd read in first grade."

From Quiz Lemony's Definitions 2

Answer: dizzy and excited

"Giddy can be traced back to the same Germanic root *gud- that has given us the word God. The Germanic word *gudigaz formed on this root meant "possessed by a god."" (Dictionary.com).

21. What was Uncle Monty's old assistant's name?

From Quiz Book the Second: The Reptile Room

Answer: Gustav

Gustav was killed by Stephano (Olaf) picking Wild Flowers. Uncle Monty got a note saying that he quit, but Stephano actually killed him.

22. In chapter 4 what weapon do the Baudelaires discover to be in Stephano's possession?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: A long knife

He uses a knife. He constantly threatens the Baudelaires with this knife throughout the book.

23. What Italian word does Uncle Monty use to call the children into the reptile room?

From Quiz The Unfortunate Events of the Reptile Room

Answer: bambini

'Bambini' is the Italian word for children. Violet and her siblings of course didn't know that, so Uncle Monty explained its meaning to them.

24. Though his dastardly plan is not yet clear - and it is not too late to close this quiz - Olaf begins to taunt the Baudelaires. He threatens them with a long knife that he also uses to chop mushrooms during their joint preparation of what dinner?

From Quiz A Reprehensible Quiz on "The Reptile Room"

Answer: Stroganoff

In Chapter Five, Olaf's surveillance and Uncle Monty's obliviousness means the children are presented with no clear opportunity to tell Uncle Monty about the true nature of his assistant. Olaf rubs the knife against Violet's leg under the table at dinner to provide a continual threat to stop them confronting him.

25. What did Uncle Monty do to Stephano (or Count Olaf's) ticket?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Shredded it to pieces

"Just then, Stephano threw Klaus's lamp on Monty's head, saying, 'Accidents happen.'" They do, but you can tell that wasn't an accident.

26. "'I don't mean to be vainglorious,' Uncle Monty began, using a word which here means_______"

From Quiz Lemony's Definitions 2

Answer: braggy

I like the sound of this word...vainglorious. It is pronounced as the two words it's made up of: vain and glorious. Some of its many synonyms are conceited, egotistical, stuck-up, and narcissistic. An antonym would be modest.

27. Which ship are the children supposed take to Peru?

From Quiz Book the Second: The Reptile Room

Answer: Prospero

The Prospero leaves at five o'clock, at Hazy Harbor.

28. In chapter 5 which foodstuff did Stephano slice?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: The mushrooms

He chopped the mushrooms up. The reason this is mentioned in the book is because he used his own threatening knife.

29. The Baudelaires, Uncle Monty and Count Olaf take a trip to the cinema to watch a film. In an Alpine fishing village, the milkmaid Gerta stops a group of mythical creatures from consuming the villagers. What is the movie called?

From Quiz A Reprehensible Quiz on "The Reptile Room"

Answer: Zombies in the Snow

In "The Unauthorized Autobiography", the film is seen to contain a coded message used by the secret organisation V.F.D. During Chapter Six, the whole movie goes above the Baudelaires' heads as they try to work out a way to communicate with Uncle Monty without Olaf finding out.

30. When the Baudelaires woke up one morning, they found a note written by Monty. Of the items on that note, what did Monty think would take a while to find?

From Quiz The Reptile Room

Answer: Canned peaches

I would think a fireproof canoe would take longer to find than canned peaches!
