17. What happens to Ted sometimes that freaks Bobby out?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 1

Answer: He blanks out and talks about weird stuff

Ted occasionally stares out into nothing and talks about "The Beam" and "Low men in yellow coats". He says he feels itching behind the eyes and warns Bobby to tell him if he feels it too. Eventually, Bobby learns that this happens when Ted senses the "low men" and he begins to sense them also. Sometimes black threads cover his vision when he sees them and he feels tingling in his eyes.

21. Who did Pete work with in the lunch line that he eventually had a relationship with?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 2 by Stephen King

Answer: Carol Gerber

Yeah, the Carol Gerber from Part 1. She told Pete about Bobby and Sully. She had dated Sully for a while before college. I can't leave out that Pete "did it" for the first time with Carol before she left to go back home. The Platters' "Twilight Time" was playing on the radio in the car. I think he really loved her, it's a shame she had to leave him.

22. What signs does Ted tell Bobby to look out for, signs of the low men?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 1

Answer: Moons and stars drawn next to hopscotch squares

Other signs were: Men with alcohol in paper bags, men who think hats with feathers on them are sophisticated, loud and vulgar cars, lost pet posters on telephone poles with phone numbers listed, upside down "car for sale by owner" notices on the bulletins, kite tails hanging from telephone lines, church bells ringing the wrong number of hours for the time, and church vandalism reports in the newspaper.

23. What was NOT something Bobby was to look out for?

From Quiz Hearts in Atlantis: Low Men in Yellow Coats

Answer: Ribbons on telephone poles.

Ted never tells Bobby about the ribbons. He discovers this is a sign on his own.

From Quiz 'Hearts in Atlantis' Part 2

25. What was the main character saving all his money for?

From Quiz 'Hearts in Atlantis' Part 1

26. Who spray painted the words on the side wall of the dorm?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 2 by Stephen King

Answer: Stoke Jones

Stoke Jones was part of the Committee of Resistance and introduced the peace sign (or the "sparrow track") and almost everyone had a peace sign on something they owned after that. When the heads of the college showed up to question the students, they used the peace sign on Jones' sweatshirt to prove he was the only one who knew the sign (the sign was on the wall along with "Johnson! Killer President U.S. Out of Vietnam Now!"). They all stuck up for Jones by holding up things which they had peace signs on.

27. Who used to pick on Bobby, Sully John, and Carol?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 1

Answer: The St. Gabriel's boys

The St. Gabe's boys always picked on and bullied the three pals. One time, Harry Doolin, Willie Shearman, and Richie O' Meara picked on the three while they were walking. Rionda, Carol's mother's friend, told them to get lost or she'd tell the priest (who would tell their parents). They scrammed, but that might have made it worse.

28. What happens to Carol that changes her life?

From Quiz Hearts in Atlantis: Low Men in Yellow Coats

Answer: Three boys beat her with a baseball bat.

Three boys beat her with a bat for no reason. They give her a dislocated shoulder, cracked ribs, and plenty of bruises.

29. Which character walked with crutches?

From Quiz 'Hearts in Atlantis' Part 2

Answer: Rip-rip

His real name was Stokely Jones III. They called him 'Rip-rip' because of the sound he made as he walked.

30. What did the guys do first when they saw Stokely Jones climbing up the icy hill?

From Quiz "Hearts in Atlantis" Part 2 by Stephen King

Answer: Laughed

Cruel huh? I really don't think I could laugh at a cripple trying to scramble up an icy hill. Even when he fell, they were still laughing while carrying him down to the nurse. But at least they helped him. While they were lifting him Jones said "Let me die. For once in your stupid greedy-me-me lives do something worthwhile. Put me down and let me die."
