Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What street did Georgie lose the boat (and his life) in?

Answer: Witcham Street

 These are all streets in Derry, but the drain in Witcham Street was where the boat was lost in a stormdrain.
2. What was the name of Adrian Mellon's boyfriend?

Answer: Don Hagarty

 Jeffrey Reeves was one of the policemen investigating Adrian's murder. Unwin and Garton were two of the guys that killed him with Pennywise's help.
3. Stan Uris killed himself rather than face "It" again - but what was Stan's wife's maiden name?

Answer: Patricia Blum

 At least you remembered it rhymed with Plum! Patricia is one of the people I feel sorriest for in the book, as she never knew why her husband had killed himself.
4. Who was Richie Tozier the DJ's personal favourite voice when the call comes to face "It" again?

Answer: Kinky Briefcase, Sexual Accountant

 When Mike calls, Kinky is described as Richie's personal favourite, at least for the time being. Colonel Buford is described as the listener's favourite. Personally, I'd love to hear Wyatt!
5. Before going to meet "It" again, where does Ben Hanscom give Ricky Lee his silver dollars?

Answer: The Red Wheel

 I noticed when writing this quiz, that the town all the above places are in is called Hemingford Home - wasn't that Mother Abigail's place in "The Stand"?
6. Who did Eddie Kasparak leave his wife Myra to chauffeur when he goes to meet "It" again?

Answer: Al Pacino

 Eddie assures Myra that Mr. Pacino is very nice, very understanding, but as Eddie's never met him, he hopes that he's telling the truth.
7. When Tom Rogan met Beverly Marsh in a downtown singles bar, why had conversation been easy enough?

Answer: They both worked in the Standard Brands building and knew a few of the same people

 Tom worked for a public relations firm and Beverley was an assistant designer at Delia Fashions. "Tom knew two things about Beverley Marsh almost at once: she was desirable and she was vulnerable".
8. What is the title on the looseleaf binder of Mike Hanlon's notes about the history of Derry?

Answer: Derry: An Unauthorised Town History

 Mike, however, refers in his own notes to 'Derry: A Look Through Hell's Back Door'.
9. What colour motorcycle jacket does Henry Bowers, the bully, wear to school?

Answer: Pink

 Although he wore a pink motorcycle jacket with an eagle on the back to school, the only boy unwise enough to laugh was beaten up by Henry and lost three front teeth.
10. What does Ben Hanscom's mother give him when the murders start happening?

Answer: A Timex

 The watch is to get Ben home for 6 o'clock, otherwise she'll call the police. Unfortunately, she shows Ben that she doesn't really know him, as she thinks otherwise he'll be preoccupied with his friends. Poor lonely fat Ben hasn't got any friends at this point.
11. Bill Denbrough writes a haiku to Beverley Marsh.

Answer: False

The Haiku (a form of Japanese poem with seventeen syllables) was written by Ben Hanscom.
12. What's the name of the river in the canal in Derry?

Answer: The Kenduskeag

 The Kennet and Avon canal is in England and the Kabompo and Kafue are two Zambian rivers plucked out of the Times Atlas!
13. There are several parks mentioned in "It" - which of these is NOT mentioned?

Answer: Pittville Park

 Pittville Park is actually a park in Cheltenham, England.
14. What is the first crazy act of Henry Bowers that we read about?

Answer: Trying to carve his name on Ben

 This is the first thing Henry does to Ben for not helping him cheat, and we read about it long before we find out he had killed Mike's dog. Breaking Eddie's arm and throwing M80s also come later.
15. Pennywise the clown appears to Ben Hanscom first as the leper.

Answer: False

It appeared to Eddie as the leper, and to Ben as the Mummy. It knows what scares you!
16. Which stepson did Richard Macklin actually kill?

Answer: Dorsey Corcoran

 Although Richard klled Dorsey, Eddie was killed by "It". I hope Stephen King fans will appreciate the other two names!
17. What were the names of the scarecrows on the Hanlon's farm?

Answer: Larry, Moe and Curly

 The Three Stooges! The wrong answers were the Marx Brothers (Groucho etc.), a Music Hall act (Wilson etc.) and the Van Pelt family from 'Peanuts' (what else would you expect from a Beagle?)
18. Which county is Derry in?

Answer: Penobscot

 Orange County just sounds American. Owen Brown and King's Contrivance are 'villages' in Columbia, MD.
19. What was the name of the Coach that finally persuaded Ben to lose weight?

Answer: Coach Woodleigh

 Coach Black was the coach who tried (with no success!) to convince Eddie's mother he was not asthmatic.
20. What was the name of the child that was killed 27 years to the day after Georgie Denbrough?

Answer: Lisa Albrecht

 Although all these were killed in the spree of "It" that brought the Losers' Club back, this was the girl described thus.
21. "It" goes in circles. What cataclysmic event ended the 1929-30 cycle?

Answer: The fire at the Black Spot

 The Bradley Gang massacre started the 1929-30 spree. The explosion at the Ironworks had ended the cycle 25 years before. The Losers' Club curtailing of "It" was in 1958.
22. What is printed on his Hydrox inhaler that makes Eddie finally realise it can't REALLY help him?

Answer: Administer as needed

 All Hydrox is made from is water and camphor. Eddie realises you can't administer any drug 'as needed' without a warning. Being an asthmatic myself, I, unlike Eddie, do realise it can sometimes all be in your head.
23. What was the number on the werewolf's jacket's back when the Losers' Club fought it in Neibolt Street?

Answer: 13

 All mystic numbers! The silver and orange jacket had 'DERRY HIGH SCHOOL KILLING TEAM', 'PENNYWISE' and '13'.
24. What hour did the Grace Baptist Church clock not chime on May 31st, 1985?

Answer: 5 a.m.

 The clock had only failed to strike the hour once before, since its installation in 1897, was at noon on the day of the Kitchener Ironworks explosion.
25. We've called him "It", we've called him Pennywise, we've called him the leper, the Mummy, the werewolf - but what's the name he/she/it gives themself?

Answer: Robert Gray

I think this is a tough question. The answer is mentioned a couple of times in the book, but who would answer other than Pennywise or It?
