Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who has been following Simon and Linnet on their honeymoon?

Answer: Jacqueline

 She's jealous because Simon left her for the more attractive and richer Linnet.
2. Who had absolutely nothing to do with the theft of Linnet's pearls?

Answer: Salome

 Miss Bowers returned the pearls that Miss Van Schuyler stole to Hercule Poirot. Those pearls turned out to be fake. Joanna told Tim about the pearls, so he could make a fake version. He stole the pearls and replaced them with the fake ones.
3. What happened at Abu Simbel?

Answer: A rock almost crushed Linnet and Simon

 Everyone thought that Jackie pushed the rock but she was seen on the boat immediately after, so she could not have done it.
4. Who was never in possesion of a pistol with pearl-encrusted handle?

Answer: Richetti

 It was Jackie's pistol. She had two identical pistols. After shooting Simon, she dropped the pistol. Simon picked it up and shot Linnet. He then threw it overboard. Jackie slipped her other pistol in Rosalie's purse after she learned a search would be conducted.
5. Who was present when Jackie shot Simon?

Answer: Fanthorp and Cornelia

 Everyone else had gone to bed including a drugged Poirot.
6. Which item was not thrown overboard?

Answer: Pennington's gun

 The stained cloth was used to make Simon appear to be shot. He threw it overboard with Jackie's gun and Miss Van Schuyler's stole. Rosalie threw her mother's secret stash of booze overboard.
7. Which pair of characters were never romantically involved with each other?

Answer: Pennington and Salome

 Cornelia says that she will marry Dr. Bessner at the very end of the novel. This comes as a great loss for Ferguson who wanted to marry her. Rosalie and Tim were flirty with each other the whole novel. Simon and Jackie used to be engaged.
8. What is the order of the five deaths starting with the first?

Answer: Linnet, Louise, Salome, Simon and Jackie

 Linnet's murder started a whole chain. Louise saw Simon kill Linnet, so Jackie killed her. Salome saw Jackie kill Louise,so Jackie killed her. Jackie killed Simon then herself as they were leaving the boat.
9. Colonel Race was sent to find a criminal he did not know the identity of. Who was it?

Answer: Richetti

 Early in the novel Linnet accidently read a telegram for Richetti. All it was was a list of vegetables. This turned out to be a code for weapons.

Answer: at a restaurant

 He had seen them very close to the time they planned to kill Linnet.
