Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who did Stephanie inherit the lucky red bottle from?

Answer: Uncle Pip

Stephanie's Uncle Pip was killed when he wandered out of the senior center during a thunderstorm. She was uncertain why he had chosen such an odd thing to leave to her in his will.
2. Who did Bobby Sunflower kidnap, and threaten to kill, if their outstanding gambling debt was not paid in full?

Answer: Vinnie

Connie explained to Lula and Stephanie that Vinnie had been kidnapped by his bookie, Mickey Gritch, over his outstanding gambling debt. She explained that if the $786,000 debt was not paid in full by the end of the week, Vinnie would be killed. Lula told them that she had learned that Mickey Gritch was now working for a very bad man, Bobby Sunflower.
3. Who purchased Vincent Plum Bail Bonds, the previous year, from Vinnie's father-in-law, Harry "The Hammer"?

Answer: The Wellington Company

Connie explained to Stephanie and Lula about the current ownership of the bail bonds office. "We used to be owned by Vinnie's father-in-law, you know, but last year we were sold to a venture capital company based in Trenton ... The Wellington Company."
4. What was the street name of Mortimer Gonzolez, Stephanie's FTA and owner of an alligator named Mr. Jingles?

Answer: Chopper

After meeting with Mickey Gritch, one of Vinnie's bookies, Stephanie decided to look for one of her FTAs, Mortimer Gonzolez, aka Chopper. There was a note in the file warning about Chopper's pet, Mr. Jingles, but no details were given as to the type of pet.
5. Who announced to Stephanie that they had started a new business called "Golden Aura Dog Services"?

Answer: Mooner

Stephanie ran into an old friend outside the bail bonds office - Walter Moon Man Dunphy, aka Mooner. He informed her that he had started a new business to earn gas money for his new RV, which was his new home.
6. Stephanie asked Grandma Mazur to keep an eye out for an FTA, Lenny Pickeral, who had been arrested for stealing what unusual item?

Answer: Toilet paper

Before leaving the office to try to track down Vinnie, Connie gave Stephanie a new FTA to locate and escort back to jail, Lenny Pickeral. According to Connie, he had been arrested "for making an illegal U-turn across the grass median. When they checked out his trunk, they found it was full of toilet paper. And then they went to his house, and it was full of toilet paper.

The guy has been stealing toilet paper from the Turnpike for almost a year."
7. Who called Stephanie for assistance when she broke her foot while dancing to a workout video?

Answer: Grandma Mazur

Grandma Mazur called Stephanie for help and told her "I think I broke my foot. I was dancing to one of them workout videos, and I accidentally stubbed my toe on the coffee table, and now I think something's broke. At first, I thought it wasn't broke, but it's turned purple and it's all swelled up." Stephanie and Lula picked up Grandma Mazur and took her to the hospital.
8. FTA, Butch Goodey, worked at a meat packing plant. What happened at the plant when Stephanie tried to arrest him?

Answer: The cattle escaped into the streets.

Stephanie was trying to apprehend Butch at his place of employment, the meat packing plant. However, before she could handcuff him, he spotted her and took off. "Butch jumped into the pen with the stupefied cows and ran for the gate by the truck. Lula saw him coming at her, opened the gate to tackle him, and the rest was the stuff nightmares are made of.

When the gate creaked open, every cow picked its head up and sniffed freedom. Butch went through the gate first, knocking Lula ... against the fence. Butch was followed by a cow stampede.

The cows galloped out of the pen, into the parking lot, and scattered. In a matter of seconds, not a single cow could be seen."
9. Vinnie lived with Lula for a few days when Lucille kicked him out of the house.

Answer: False

After Stephanie's mom demanded that Vinnie leave her house, Stephanie tried to find a place to hide Vinnie for a while. Lula and Connie were so disgusted with Vinnie that they refused to allow him near their homes, much less inside.
10. What did Lula and Stephanie use to distract Mr. Jingles, the alligator, so they could steal the money?

Answer: 2 Buckets extra crispy chicken

Stephanie purchased two buckets of extra-crispy chicken from Cluck-in-a-Bucket before she went to the office to meet Lula and Connie. Her plan was for Lula to distract Mr. Jingles with the fried chicken while Stephanie retrieved the money.
11. What did Stephanie, Connie, and Lula use to force everyone out of the funeral home so they could steal Bobby Sunflower's money?

Answer: Set off stink bombs

Stephanie needed to get into the second floor rooms of the funeral home, undetected, to locate the money. Connie came up with a diversion to force everyone out of the funeral home for a few minutes - stink bombs. Connie told Lula, "I have three jars of liquid stink. You're going to have to dump them at strategic locations, and then get out before you throw up."
12. Three goons tried to take Vinnie from the bail bonds office. A minor shoot-out occurred between Connie and the goons and she managed to shoot one of the goons in his knee. Who else was injured during the shoot-out?

Answer: Lula

After Vinnie locked himself in his office, and the goons realized they could not get into his reinforced door, they turned to Stephanie. The goons decided they would take Stephanie hostage and exchange her for Vinnie at a later time. One of the goons shot Lula, so Connie shot one of them in the knee and held them at gun point until they left.
13. Was the bail bonds office completely destroyed?

Answer: Yes

"At nine in the morning, Lula, Connie, Vinnie, and I [Stephanie] all showed up at the office as if it existed. The fire trucks, EMTs, and police cars were gone, but sooty water still pooled in the gutter. Three buildings were cordoned off with crime-scene tape.

The bookstore on one side of the bonds office and the dry cleaner on the other side showed no structural damage. They were smoke-smudged and water-logged, but they were standing intact. The bonds office was a pile of charred rubble."
14. After Stephanie and Mooner were kidnapped by Bluttovich's goons and locked in the tower of his large country home, who led the charge to save them?

Answer: Vinnie and the Hobbits

After Stephanie and Mooner were rescued, Ranger explained that Vinnie and the Hobbits had witnessed their kidnapping and followed them. When Vinnie called Ranger, he called Morelli, and everyone joined in the chase.
15. Did Stephanie discover the truth behind the lucky bottle she inherited?

Answer: Yes

After Stephanie and Mooner were rescued and everyone was on the way home, Vinnie explained about her lucky bottle. "It's not a lucky bottle. It's Lucky's bottle. I talked to my mom this morning, and she said it was no secret about the bottle. Lucky was Pip's guinea pig. Lucky's ashes are in the bottle. Pip left it to Stephanie because she has a hamster. I guess he figured there was a rodent connection."
